HOUSTON – An Alvin man, Rhodes was indicted and has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for stealing homes and reselling them to unsuspecting buyers.

Home title theft occurs when a crook forges the owner’s name on a quitclaim deed, files it with the county, and then takes out a loan against the home, or sells it. The crime usually targets abandoned or empty homes, where the owner is often a senior or deceased.

“We’ve been buying ugly houses in Houston since 1997.

That’s what we do,” said Jim Youngblood with HomeVestors.

But one home purchase a few years ago became really ugly.

“Shortly after we purchased the property, we were doing a demo and an attorney came to the house and made my guys stop working, and said it his was her client’s house, and we needed to stop,” said Youngblood.

The owner, Youngblood explained, “John Lewis, had been deceased for the last five or six years and all of this was complete fraud.”

Jason Fang says he bought a home to fix up for his rental company, Bluebonnet Rentals, when two investors said they believed they had bought the home.

“It certainly delayed me and really affected the other investors. They were actually out of pocket many thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, because they had bought a fake deed,” said Fang.

54-year-old Juchway Rhodes, Jr. of Alvin, Texas has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for stealing $442,000 by forging documents to put four homes into his name and then reselling them.

“Two of the deeds were forged, supposedly signed by persons who were deceased. The other two were wild deeds outside the chain of title,” explained Valerie Turner, Harris County Assistant District Attorney.
