PIP Group Tax Liens, Charles Sells, PIP East, PIP West, The PIP Group, Platinum Investment Properties The PIP Group: 18%-36% ROI?? Episode 1: A Sucker's Story Bluffton South Carolina
Here is an excerpt of my case. To read the entire report, including responses from PIP, please Google: Mark A vs PIP Group. You will find the complete report on Peopleclaim.com. PIP acquired a property for me. Because a tax lien was not paid off by the original home owner, I now owned the property. PIP's market expertise and experience led me to believe that this newly acquired property was a great investment. As PIP's founder, Charles Sells wrote me: "We have been attempting to sell it “as is”. It has “good bones” and good potential, but the only way I see it moving is if we can partner with a contractor on it, or make the repairs. We have a formal estimate of repairs at $22,000. The real estate agent for the area thinks we could resell it for around $55k, after repairs. It would rent for about $850/mo. Thus, a resale, or cash flow rental would make this property a great returner....". Are you sure about that, Charles? With that, I decided to do my own research. I contacted 3 local real estate agents in the city of Kankakee, IL where the property is located. Each agent said that the property was worthless and declined interest in representing me due to the location and the high level of crime in the area. All 3 agents were reluctant to visit the area itself. They went on to mention that the area in question had many abandoned homes. I then contacted PIP's own "designated" realtor. Her response (paraphrased): "I have many PIP clients that are very unhappy and in the same situation as you...PIP is extremely disorganized. I've priced your property for sale at various prices with no interest. I even tried to sell your property at auction as low as $5000....I received NO bidders." I then decided to contact the city of Kankakee, IL and offer this property as a donation to the city. The city declined my offer. PIP claimed that they paid $8000-12000 + in taxes, legal fees and insurance towards this property on my behalf after it was acquired. Question of the Day: Why would an expert investment company like PIP pay tax money in that amount on a property that is worthless? Couldn't they have invested that money towards the necessary repairs and rented it out OR sell it instead? PIP claimed taxes were up to date and paid in full. According to the local tax collector in Kankakee, IL, taxes have not been paid since 2012, and as of this coming November 2016, will have accumulated to over $5000. The story continues.....Google: Mark A vs PIP Group. The details are posted on PeopleClaim.com

I am Charles Sells. The sleazeball that has posted this (anonymously, I might add) is well known in our industry to be a fraud and a complete fake in pretty much all aspects of his life. His own actions speak for themselves.
- Nearly $1mm in settlements and judgements against him
- Multiple foreclosures and evictions against both he and his companies
- Over 100 lawsuits in the last 10 years, in just two states!
- He even has a fake news site, where he tries to post negative "stories" against people he is in legal squabbles with.
Although unprofessional, I engaged in a verbal exchange with this individual on another platform, where he posts fake information and twists the truth in every breath he takes. He took it upon himself (same day) to post this negative information on this site. It is all lies and backed by ZERO documentation. People who live in glass houses (and his has a lot of broken glass already) should not throw stones.
We chose to remain silent for a number of years and try to not respond to this nonsense. Clearly, this individual is such a narcissist, he gets off on writing these fake posts to try and hurt legitimate businesses. Thankfully, 1 of those 100 folks out there spent a lot of time to put together indistupible, document and even public record of all the truth there is about Jason Hartman. We know he will conitnue to post anonymously and under ficticious names, like his alter-ego Jake Swank. There is nothing we can do to stop this insanity. He has proven time and time again, he will go to great lengths to try and create truth out of his own lies. The Veritas News Network is a great example of this.
Unfortunately, fake posts silence the voices of those with legitimate gripes, which is what this site (and others) are designed for. If there is ever a LEGITIMATE, concern, claim, or complaint by a past, current, or future client, PLEASE bring it to our attention and we will address it immediately.
You can review more of all the bizzarre legal activity Jason Hartman has been involved with HERE. I would like to thank whomever compiled all of this detailed data and public record and organizing it in one place. Although I am certain it will cause us all additional wastes of time in defending against this nonsense, it is important the truth be told!
My guess is, the lawsuits are really starting to catch up, which is why he started what appears to be a crowdfunding website for legal issues - his OWN legal issues! https://www.freecourt.com/about/

Concerning complaints from Mark David AKA Mark Aguire of LA, California – Investments are risks and you can’t blame one small loss out of several gains on PIP-Group, or Charles Sells. Even in his complaints he admitted to having several years of gains, and only the one loss.. Actually he made a profit because he never paid PIP-Group for services to the tune of about 10K.
Anybody who’s invested in liens knows the risks of foreclosure. What once was a fair or good condition home may not be after the redemption periods have passed.
From my experience, Our investors do very well on redemption's and foreclosures. While one foreclosure might be a loss, others might have a great ROI.
