IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons stated above, Defendant’s Motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part
as follows: 1) the Motion is GRANTED as to Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of contract/breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, which is dismissed for failure to state a claim.
Because the Court concludes that Plaintiffs cannot state a claim by amending their complaint, this
claim is dismissed without leave to amend; 2) the Motion is GRANTED as to Plaintiffs’ claim for
restitution/rescission except as to Plaintiffs’ March payment, as to which Plaintiffs state a claim.
Otherwise, the claim is dismissed without leave to amend; 3) the Motion is DENIED as to Plaintiffs’
claim under the Rosenthal Act; and 4) the Motion is DENIED as to Plaintiffs’ unfair competition
claim under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq.
March 31 (Bloomberg) — During the U.S. housing boom, even amateur investors could buy and sell a property within a couple of months and turn a profit. Today there’s nothing amateur about house flipping.
Homes with punctured walls and missing appliances draw multiple offers from professional investors at auctions in foreclosure-ridden states such as Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada. Competition is so stiff that experienced flippers such as Sergio Rodriguez and Brian Bogenn look back with nostalgia at last year, when they turned over 48 residences in the Phoenix area.
“A year ago, bums outnumbered bidders at the courthouse steps,” where many foreclosure auctions take place, Rodriguez said. “Now the bums are way outnumbered.”
