Gus Frangos, President of the Cuyahoga County Land Bank, appeared on Stark Group LIVE Radio Show:
In September, Gus Frangos appeared on "Stark Group Live," a real estate talk show on WERE-AM Radio in Cleveland. The broadcast began with the basics: host Paul Stark asked Frangos whether
he
"takes" or "gives" properties and Frangos explained the strategy of acquiring low-value properties and eliminating blight by either demolishing the houses or rehabbing them. "It's not just a matter of getting rid of what's bad," Frangos told Stark. "There's some strategy to it.

I believe both Gus Frangos and Brian Stark are well aware of their strategy.
The above property located at 3555 Fulton Road in Cleveland, Ohio was previously owned by two LLC's connected to Brian Stark -- STARK GROUP LLC & STEPPING STONE PROPERTIES LLC.

The tax foreclosure process for this case does not follow the standard process for auctioning off property.
The normal and legal process for sheriff sale is to offer the property for auction. If there are no bidders at the first sale, the sheriff will hold a second and final sheriff sale.
According to docket entries for this case, the first sheriff sale was scheduled for April 16, 2012 with a second sale date scheduled for April 30, 2012.
According to the docket entries dated 5/15/2012, it specifically states, " Returned 4/18/2012. NO SALE FORFEITED TO STATE"
The NO SALE FORFEITURE date is returned 4/18/12; however the second and final auction was not scheduled until April 30, 2012:

This must be one hell of a Real Estate Radio Show.
Sounds more like a con artist to me. A con artist who ripped off Cuyahoga County for tens of thousands in delinquent property taxes.

Brian Stark- bragging about 103 Million $ fund
Brain D Stark is bragging about the 103 MILLION $ fund, yet he can't pay property taxes or bills.
He must be too busy hosting the Real Estate Radio Show.
Stark Group LLC should be criminally prosecuted for their shady real estate transactions in Cuyahoga County.
Stark Group LLC cost Cuyahoga County hundreds of thousands of dollars in delinquent property taxes, demolition cost, blight, court fines and costs, and loss of mortgage funds.
The fact that these losers continue on with a radio show to advise others on real estate after leaving behind mass destruction for others to pay to clean up, along with a major hit on property taxes, is a big smack in the face.
Stark Group LLC members should be prosecuted just like Blaine Murphy was prosecuted, convicted and recently sentenced to prison.
I believe the conduct of Stark Group LLC is worse than Blaine Murphy. Having a radio show on buying/selling real estate, bragging about a 100 million dollar portfolio, and advertising as a hard money lender while others pay to clean up their mess should cause Brian Stark, Paul Stark, and other members of Stark Group LLC to take a nice vacation with Big Bubba.
“He bought homes and sold homes with reckless abandon,” Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Greg Mussman said. “And it was for greed.”

Stark Group housing code violations - fines UNPAID
Stark Group had several cases filed in Cleveland Housing Court for violations:
In case # 2005 CRB 014978 Stark Group LLC was fined $30,165.00
Brian Stark appeared in court:
A judgment was transferred for this case to case # 2008 CVH 006899.
And another hefty housing violaton fine:
And another:
And more housing code violation cases for Stepping Stone Properities LLC with hefty fines:
Brian Stark from Stark Group LLC and Stepping Stone Properties LLC shouldn't be advising follks about real estate on any radio show.
He must be giving advice on how to get away with paying property taxes and mortgage - while leaving his slum property behind for others to clean up his mess.

Stark Group delinquent taxes $ 227,439.36 for 2 more properties
Stark Group LLC owned the property located at 245-249 East 156th Street since June 16, 2000.
Stark Group LLC paid NO property taxes since the June 16, 2000 transfer.
Stark Group LLC failed to maintain their property which led to a demolition.
The demolition cost and the unpaid property taxes total $ 117,807.36
This property is now owned by the City of Cleveland's Land Bank:
And county taxpayers are footing the $117,807.36 bill for this multi-millionaire and his real estate radio show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO property taxes paid since the June 16, 2000 transfer.
Stark Group failed to maintain this property also. The demolition , grass cutting fees, and delinquent property taxes cost Cuyahoga County $ 109,632.02
This property is now owned by the Cuyahoga County Land Bank and the delinquent property taxes, demo fee, and grass cutting fees have been wiped out and reduced to $0.
Stark Group LLC ripped Cuyahoga County off for another $227,439.36 - for TWO of their many properties.
The multi-millionaire with a real estate radio show is really doing a number on Cuyahoga County.
I think the FBI needs to do a thorough investigation of the many property transactions for Stark Group LLC, Stepping Stone LLC, and several other highly suspicous LLCs that were involved with numerous real estate transactions with the Stark Group. Group of con artists.
584 real estate transactions for Stark Group LLC:
Your search of stark group return 584 result(s)
Your search of stepping stone return 23 result(s
Numerous properties that touched the hands of Stark Group LLC have a long history of delinquent property taxes. Many are now in the county's land bank and their taxes have been wiped out and reduced to $0.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in delinquent property taxes.
There is highly suspicous activity with Stark Group LLC and Classic Funding LLC.
Your search of classic funding return 1453 result(s)
And with DLS Group LLC Your search of dls return 99 result(s)
Several other LLCs that have dealt with Stark Group LLC appear highly suspicous also.
Something is really wrong with the way this multi-millionaire real estate radio show host conducts his business, and it is costing Cuyahoga County BIG $$

"I am also a nightclub singer!" the site boasts. These con artists that ripped off Cuyahoga County should stick to singing. I bet they suck at that too.

Con Artist in control of Land Bank needs to be removed asap
I am getting tired of repeating the same ole line.
The Cuyahoga County Land Bank can not save Cuyahoga County from the foreclosure crisis when the president of the land bank is a con artist who has engaged in the exact same behavior as Brian Stark and his LLC's.
Gus Frangos has engaged in several counts of mortage fraud. He is hiding property behind numerous LLCs that do NOT pay property taxes or the mortgage.
MORTAGE FRAUD committed by Gus Frangos http://realneo.us/content/cuyahoga-county-land-bank-president-gus-frangos-con-artist-forges-documents-obtain-2nd-mortg
Links to several issues with the con artist Frangos http://realneo.us/content/cuyahoga-county-land-bank-meeting-june-28-2013-disrupt-it-demand-immediate-removal-gus-frang
Just because Jim Rokakis appointed the con artist to this six figure salary position doesn't mean the con artist should not be removed IMMEDIATELY.
People should question why the hell Jim Rokakis would employee this con artist first in the Treasurer's Office and then appoint the con artist as top dog at the land bank. http://realneo.us/content/cuyahoga-county-land-bank-creators-dabble-ten-million-dollar-property-jim-rokakis-gus-frango

The Stark Group LIVE radio show is targeted for an audience of "largely upper middle income white".
The largerly upper middle income white property owners get a free ride for their property taxes.
If the property owner is poor, black and owes petty amounts of delinquent property taxes, they are fucked.
And my research will PROVE selective property tax enforcement and Civil Rights violations of the Federal Fair Housing Act http://realneo.us/content/cuyahoga-county-delinquent-property-tax-lien-sale-flaw-system-or-violation-civil-rights-fair
Nearly three years ago, I provided my research to the NAACP c/o Stan Miller. The NAACP did not provide any assistance to the victims and turned them away when I sent the victims to the office of NAACP.
I also had a meeting with East Cleveland Councilman Nathaniel Martin nearly three years ago and provided my research.
Councilman Martin personally delivered my research to George Forbes homes. No result.
The victims below all owned their houses for over 50 YEARS. Two of the properties were owned mortage free. All stolen for petty delinquent property taxes.
And the 'upper middle income white" property owner, who hosts a radio show on real estate, gets a free ride on his property taxes for TEN YEARS.
I also discussed the selective property tax enforcement with former East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer.
Brewer knows the truth and tried to stop this years ago:
I wrote him a letter in 2006 asking that he not sell anymore properties through third-party tax lien sales to GLS Capital and Plymouth Park Investments out of East Cleveland. Mayor Frank Jackson had also asked him not to sell tax liens from Cleveland.
I was critical of Rokakis pushing this blight-causing deal in 1999 when I hosted a radio show on WERE. I think it's absolutely horrible how he, as an elected official, pushed for a tax lien sale state law that created blight in East Cleveland by letting third party investors sit on vacant properties without cutting the grass, boarding them up, maintaining or rehabilitating them. If Steve Litt wants to write a real story, investigate Rokakis' third party tax lien sales and the impact they've had on school district budgets. He claimed it helps the schools but empty houses don't generate property taxes. Rokakis' policies have done much to decimate the East Cleveland school district's budget and that of every other community in Cuyahoga County where he's been selling tax liens to third party investors.
I had some blocks with 37 properties and 25 delapidated vacancies. Every year we had to divert general fund and HUD dollars from other purposes just to take care of abandoned properties. Go to Rokakis' website. He won't update the "tax lien certificate sales" information past 2006 because it will show just how his policies have devasted the county. Through 2006 it shows he sold the tax liens to 22912 properties from East Cleveland, Cleveland and other cities throughout the county. How many tax liens has Rokakis sold over the past four years? That's the number he's hiding from the public. He has refused to allow the individual tax delinquent homeowner to buy their own tax lien at up to a 30 percent discount, but he sells their tax lien to a third-party for that amount. Steve Litt. This is the real story.
I did not automatically buy into Rokakis' countywide landbank program because by his own rules, it doesn't help East Cleveland. Additionally, he told me in 2006 during a meeting coordinated by Jimmy Dimora, Tim Hagan and Peter Lawson Jones, that he had $250,000 in demolition funds for East Cleveland that was to be funded through monies controlled by him and Bill Mason. Mason, however, had the final authority to say yes or no. When I followed-up with Rokakis, after I shared "his" promise with council and the residents, he said Mason decided to use the funds for another purpose and I ended up with egg on my face. From then on I viewed everything he told me with skepticism.
It's positions llike those described above that made some view me as abrasive. Anyone who fights for poor people or a predominantly Black city that has been disrespected, used and abused by everyone is always viewed as abrasive, and so is anyone who stands up to the Plain Dealer.
