The bank screwed you over.
Take your pick.
Either way you lost.
But I made more money
during the crash than before it.
You can too, you just gotta stop
lying to yourself and ask,
what did you do wrong
that your family lives in a motel?
I'm gonna do it.
Whatever you want me to do,
I'll do it, but...
I need you to do me a favour,
help me get my family home back.
I want you to take this
as my first payment.
Don't get emotional about real estate.
It's too late for that.
That's my family home.
That's my boy's school,
so please just take this.
This ain't gonna cut it.
Put that under your mattress.
Don't put it in the bank.
You're just giving them more money.
When you get enough
I'll tell you what to do with it.
Now, do you want to double
what you just made or not?
It's about f***ing time, playboy.
Damn.
Always late, papa.
You always late, man.
Yeah.
That's the jackpot.
- So who's this Rick Carver dude?
- That's my boss.
For the time being.
- What's that like?
- Oh, it's great. He's...
Nah, he's a f***ing arsehole.
One, two, three.
Straight on.
- What are you doing?
- Got to take a picture.
To prove to the bank this sh*t's missing
so they pay us to put it back in.
We're stealing it
to then bring it back?
- You wanna get paid?
- Hell, yeah.
I got to take a picture.
- Yeah?
- Mr Tanner, my name is Dennis Nash.
I'm here representing
Rick Carver Realty.
Um, I'm here to, er...
I understand your house
has been foreclosed on.
and we intend to keep it that way.
I hope that works out.
God forbid it doesn't.
If you got a second
I wanna tell you about cash for keys,
here on the form.
What do you mean,
cash for keys?
If you leave your house
in a broom-swept condition
prior to your eviction date,
banks can give you 3500 bucks
cash in your pocket.
We're not interested in anything.
Take your papers.
We'll contact our attorney
and they'll get with you.
What you doing, son?
Who'll buy a home with a pool
if the pool don't work?
- What do y'all think y'all doing?
- Doing some repairs.
I know this house has been empty
for two or three months.
You know Rick Carver Realty?
You see that sign on the lawn?
- Yes, I did.
- That's who we work for.
I hope you have a good day.
- Is she your type?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
It ain't a lot,
but it's gonna pay for U-Haul,
storage, a down payment
on an apartment.
I have no idea what's going on.
Because my mum and dad
from Vietnam is coming
and the house can't be foreclosured.
Have you been putting notices
on my window?
- No, that's the Sheriff's Department.
- Well, that's trespassing.
I can't control what the department does,
but I can give you this form.
I don't want your papers.
Don't hand me no papers.
I don't want your papers or notices.
I want you to get the hell out of here.
I've been owning this house
I met my wife right here.
We're about to have a baby here.
I just made an addition in the back.
I wanna save the house.
I wanna keep it.
- Who are you?
- I work for a real estate company.
This is a KYO form. Basically,
it means knowing your options.
- My options?
- I'm putting it all on Facebook.
- Kayla, put it away.
- We don't know who this man is.
Kayla, go inside.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm gonna have to take care of my kid.
I advise you to call
that number at the bo...
- If you wanna just take a look.
- I'm not looking at anything.
You could just take it
and not look at it.
Hold on a second.
I think I've made myself clear to you.
I don't wanna see you again.
Both Victor and Andy.
Neither one of them showed up.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I can't even give Connor his vitamins.
I have one little kid Flintstone vitamin.
They're good.
- What do you got in there?
- What do you have in there?
- A steak.
- What?
That's Hamburger Helper
if I ever heard of anything.
What does that look like to you?
That looks like dinner for Day and I.
Day, you come on and join us.
You put that under your T-shirt.
No, I'm not kidding.
Oh, that was in.
Come on, Dad!
Watch the lamp!
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight ACs.
And five pool pumps.
- A good addition.
- I figured why not.
Better count on seven.
I dropped that one. It's beyond repair.
- Sell it for scrap metal.
- I already priced it out. 100 bucks.
Good. Invoice Rick Carver Realty
24K for the ACs
and 3200 for the pumps.
The bank will reimburse me
to the same amount.
Your cut is 25%, about 6700.
- 6700?
- That's right.
- Hey, Rick.
- What?
You still got that Ruger?
Excuse me? What did you say?
Are you saying you want the gun?
Did I understand you?
I ran the background check already.
Who pays the most out
in cash for keys?
Fannie and Freddie, then BoA.
I want you to go to every one
of their foreclosed properties
and find any that are unoccupied.
No homeowner, no tenant.
You got it?
Yo, Terry, let's go.
- Motherf***er didn't pay again.
- We got some money for you.
Send 'em back, Luis.
Send 'em back, brother.
- Dennis, where are we going?
- Be patient. Don't ask questions.
- You don't trust me?
- You hired me, so I got no choice.
Go, Terry.
- Tell him to hurry up.
- Yo, T, let's go, baby.
There's nobody here.
11286. There's nobody here.
All right, bub. Jump in.
How we doing, Javi?
267 Lakewood.
Empty as a motherf***er.
Right, turn to the back page.
I need y'all to sign these leases.
The banks need to think you guys
are tenants in all these properties,
so that I can negotiate
cash-for-keys deals with all y'all.
- How much they paying?
- You can count on a $2500 cheque
from the government
and the motherfucking banks.
2500?
They been f***ing me for so long, man.
Sh*t, I'll take it back, brother.
Somebody getting pregnant
tonight, baby.
Who we f***ing, man?
The government or the banks?
Ah, Jim. See you for lunch
Wednesday, OK?
You think Freeman
is the way to go?
He's Fannie's number one attorney
three years running.
He can connect us to bulk buyers.
I'm not talking millions of dollars,
I'm talking billions.
All right, so this is Dennis Nash.
- County Commissioner Arthur Link.
- Pleasure.
Your property at 2102 West Jefferson,
I'll have Dennis make sure
the gutters are redone.
- What happened to Bill?
- Killed him.
This is my new guy.
I'll get us a meeting with Freeman.
And stick with this guy, you'll go far.
Thanks for the recommendation.
See you, Arthur.
What do you got for me?
Successfully negotiated
six cash-for-keys with six tenants.
Good. So, Nash, how much
did you tell your buddies per home?
- 3500 or less?
- Yeah, 3500.
Oh, you told them the full amount?
I told 'em what I told 'em.
What do you care?
Yeah.
Hey, baby. Look at that smile.
You're gorgeous.
Don't you have class today?
Er, they're all online,
plus I finished that website.
