Flagstar to Appeal Judgment In Insurance Coverage Dispute
Republished by Ralph Mark Maupin

TROY, Mich., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.
(NYSE: FBC) announced that a federal judge dismissed its lawsuit against an insurance company in a coverage dispute. As a result, Flagstar will record a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of 2006 of approximately $8.7 million, before taxes. Flagstar intends to appeal the court's ruling, and will continue to pursue other avenues of loss mitigation, which it believes should result in additional recoveries. Any subsequent recoveries would be recorded as a gain.

The coverage dispute involves an insurance claim pursuant to Flagstar's
fidelity bond that was issued by the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. As described in Flagstar's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005, Flagstar discovered in March 2004 that a series of warehouse loans totaling $22.4 million were fraudulently obtained. Upon discovery of the fraud, Flagstar seized cash and real property and also recovered additional sums through civil litigation. In addition, the United States government was able to seize cash and assets from the perpetrators of the fraud, many of whom have been convicted and are currently serving prison sentences. Although the cash, real property and other assets were subject to competing claims of other entities that were defrauded, the parties agreed to a ratable split of such proceeds. Flagstar sought reimbursement under the forgery coverage of the fidelity bond to cover its remaining loss and filed suit when the insurance company denied its claim.

In its dismissal order, the federal court concluded that the loss did not
result from the forgery, but instead because the underlying collateral
turned out to be worthless.

"We carefully considered our position in this matter and we strongly
disagree with the result in this case," said Mark T. Hammond, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Flagstar. "We believe that the court overlooked the inherent value in the promissory notes, which in this case were forged, and therefore our fidelity bond claim should have been paid regardless of the validity of the underlying collateral."

In addition to appealing the judgment in its insurance coverage
dispute, Flagstar will continue to seek recovery of the civil judgment and
criminal restitution order that it has obtained against the perpetrators of
the fraud. In addition, Flagstar is pursuing conspiracy and fraud claims in a Colorado state court action against another large warehouse lender that previously discovered this scheme, but allegedly misrepresented the
situation when providing a reference to Flagstar so that the other lender
would be repaid. Although Flagstar believes that these efforts will result
in additional recoveries, there can be no assurance that Flagstar's appeal
or any of its other efforts to remediate its loss will be successful.

Flagstar Bancorp, which has $15.1 billion in total assets, is the
largest publicly-held savings bank in the Midwest. Flagstar currently
operates 149 banking centers located throughout Michigan, Indiana and
Georgia. Flagstar also operates home loan centers across the country.
Flagstar Bank is one of the nation's largest originators of residential
mortgage loans.

In particular, Flagstar's expectations regarding its ability to recover all or a part of the amounts lost, the timing of any such recoveries and Flagstar's belief with respect to the strength of its claims on appeal are forward looking statements.

Changes from Flagstar's expectations could result from a number of factors, including its ability to pursue claims against other parties, the potential costs involved in any such matters, the collectability of the potential defendants, the appellate court's views of Flagstar's claims and other events, many of which are beyond the control of Flagstar.

Michigan Understands the Importance of Networking, a Real Estate Club that Serves Wayne and Oakland Counties
Local Business Network (LBN) A Community Support Based on Networking, the Key to Any Business Success

National Real Estate Network, LLC will be presenting a powerful speaker discussing how to take any business to the next level. Mr. Chuck Gifford of LBN (Local Business Network) will be sharing how business owners can take their business to higher levels through networking. Mark Maupin of National Real Estate Network said “ I have never seen support, training, and networking equal to that of LBN. National Real Estate Network has learned and uses some of the same tools they have learned from Mr. Gifford Company LBN.”

Mr. Gifford will be speaking for a short time at meeting in Livonia. What others have said in market about networking:
Accountants Give and Receive More than $100,000 in Referrals Annually. Norm McKee is an accountant and business consultant. During his first year in LBN, referrals from LBN members accounted for about twenty-five percent of his business. The second year it grew to forty percent. Partnering with other LBN professionals, he also began an employee benefits firm with the potential to generate even more profit than his already highly lucrative accounting practice. Norm receives eight to ten new client referrals a month from his referral partners. He receives more than $100,000 in referrals annually and gives at least that amount to his referral partners. Norm says, “We selected LBN as our networking group because of the structured/instructional-based program offered, providing all members with basic direction over their networking activities. We found LBN members to understand the importance of relationship marketing and how to utilize relationships to create a marketing avenue for their businesses.

There are hundreds of additional stories. Here are some quick recaps of a few more: • Jim Motley started a computer repair business with $250,000 in sales the first year largely through referrals; doubled his business the second year; then doubled it again the third year. • Jeannie Kime, a marketer of promotional items, spent two years in another networking organization before joining LBN without much success, and then tripled the business in the first year in LBN. Last year, fifty-four percent of business came from LBN referrals. • John Gentilia of Perfect View Blinds reported thirty-five percent of business from LBN referrals the first year, growing to forty percent the second year. • Doris Benson of Comfort Zone Heating and Cooling developed one hundred new customers in the first six months in LBN. • Ed Koerner, a mortgage lender, received thirty-six referrals in the first six months in LBN. • Brian Jenks, a commercial lender, received referrals for real estate financing for projects of $12 million and $15 million. • Attorney Brian Rolfe got a lead for a $50,000 client within a few weeks after joining LBN. • Julie Greene, a financial planner, reported commissions of $20,000 on leads from the LBN group and had expectations that that number would double the next year. • Ron Tremper, owner of a party rental business, received roughly fifty percent of business from LBN referrals and was able to expand into new markets simply on the basis of business generated by a single LBN referral partner. • Kirk Falvay, an attorney, gave and received twenty-to-thirty new customers in a partnering arrangement with an accountant and financial planner in LBN. • Robert Light, owner of a human resources firm, was able to stop an advertising campaign costing roughly $5,000 per ad because networking, at a cost under $1,000 a year, generated as much new business. • Robert Breitman, owner of a Web site development firm, and Ted Nathan, owner of a computer services firm, developed such strong ties as members of an LBN chapter, that they joined forces to form a new, larger and more powerful firm capable of serving a broader range of client needs and larger businesses.

Commercial Real Estate Investor and Realtor Seminar on DVD for Office Building Investment

Pat Winter, popularly known as “Mr. Commercial Real Estate” recently announced the release of a new Mastermind product: OFFICE BUILDING INVESTMENTS. This DVD video training program for real estate investors is a Mastermind Group Mentor presentation, an ongoing series about commercial real estate investment. Mr. Winter reports that his new DVD video program provides a detailed analysis of virtually every facet of the office building investment process, including property appraisal, architecture, contracting, and loan underwriting. Pat says the program also provides a thorough examination of the modern office building, from both conceptual and practical perspectives, with several detailed case studies. In addition, “Office Building Investments” includes detailed information about how to build an effective team, how to find unique and potentially profitable opportunities, how to identify good deals, and how to secure financing.

Why Is It Said That One Can Do Billboard Investments When The Industry Says One Can’t
A Smiling Mr. Commercial Real Estate Rejects Offer of $150,000 for Billboard Permit, On His $5000 Project

Mark Maupin, member of National Real Estate Network LLC, said “Mr. Winter has proven positive rewards again, by showing what people were saying is not true. Getting a billboard permit to install Billboard. What is even better the process was not that hard and he is giving his secrets way. Pat Winter, has also informed us of two more billboards underway.”

Pat Winter, “Mr. Commercial Real Estate”, announces a new release in his Mastermind Group Workshop series on real estate investments, “Billboard Investments.” The new DVD video workshop is designed to clarify the process for making successful billboard investments. Mr. Winter states that billboards are an often-overlooked investment opportunity that is making a major comeback, though the advent of digital technology.

The program includes information on prospecting, networking, acquisitions, sales opportunities, profit potential, selling future income streams, three-dimensional billboards, mini-billboards, zone requirements, finding an experienced sign company, cost and financing. Mr. Winter’s new DVD workshop advises investors that while all cities have the same basic process for installing billboards, some cities have looser requirements, and the program shows investors how to search out these more attractive opportunities. The importance of networking is discussed at length in the video, in which he points out the benefits of being persistent in networking.
Mr. Winter \nidentifies for investors the biggest players in the billboard market, and lets \ninvestors in on secrets the general public don’t know. For example, very few new \nbillboards are built these days so the major players seek out Mom and Pop \nbillboards, then use their national contacts to bring in national billboard \ntenants.

Pat’s video shows investors how to get in the loop on this lucrative \nadvertising industry that is a less expensive than print or TV advertising. \nAs Pat points out, “Zoning is the biggest issue.” The video informs \npotential investors how to deal with zoning requirements, including B4 and C4 \nzoning requirements, in which nearby residents must be notified of pending new \nbillboards. He discusses the minimum amount of space required between \nbillboards. And he provides detailed information about billboard cost and the \nprofits that investors can realize from billboard investment. Pat Winter \nbegan his career as a teenager, working for his father, an established \ncommercial real estate investor. . . he went on to manage his own successful \ncommercial real estate investing business, gaining expertise in handling retail, \nmanufacturing and office properties. Potential billboard investors can \nlearn more about “Billboard Investments” at Pat Winter’s website: \nwww.mrcommercialre.com © 2006 GroupWeb.com.

Mr. Winter identifies for investors the biggest players in the billboard market, and lets investors in on secrets the general public doesn’t know. For example, very few new billboards are built these days so the major players seek out Mom and Pop billboards, then use their national contacts to bring in national billboard tenants. Pat’s video shows investors how to get in the loop on this lucrative advertising industry that is a less expensive than print or TV advertising. As Pat points out, “Zoning is the biggest issue.” The video informs potential investors how to deal with zoning requirements, including B4 and C4 zoning requirements, in which nearby residents must be notified of pending new billboards.

He discusses the minimum amount of space required between billboards. Also, he provides detailed information about billboard cost and the profits that investors can realize from billboard investment. Mr. Winter began his career as a teenager, working for his father, an established commercial real estate investor . . . he went on to manage his own successful commercial real estate investing business, gaining expertise in handling retail, manufacturing and office properties.
