Westgate "Legacy" program... (by KC):

I think Westgate established the legacy program because of so much bad press on their unwillingness to help folks depart. I think this will help their sales going forward.

I respectfully disagree. Historically, Westgate couldn't possibly care less about bad press and their retail sales are going just fine and are actually up for the year, for reasons that I cannot even begin to comprehend.

My own opinion is that Wastegate has belatedly adopted the Legacy program for their own convenience and profit. Foreclosure, although not at all difficult for them, still takes a little time and money to accomplish and finalize. Collecting $950 instead to willingly take back the deed easily, quickly and cleanly is plainly in Wastegate's own self-interest (and is profitable to boot).

Also, a deedback program helps Wastegate (and / or any other developer) avoid having to untangle the legal mess created when people foolishly pay (lots more than $950) to phony "Viking Ship" and / or bogus "exit / release" operations which only muddy the waters without a clean and / or valid transfer of ownership.
