Lisa Corbett thought she was buying her dream house. She said it's been nothing but a nightmare since the day she closed on it 11 months ago.

Illegal Mexicans are employed by the companies that developers uses. Aside from that, don't be surprised if the State Attorney General becomes involved with investigating Martin Henry Investments.

Want a house with Shoddy construction, crooked walls and ceilings, cracking foundations; buy one from a developer/contractor that uses illegal alien workers. Since they are crooked enough to hire those vermin, they are also crooked enough to cut other corners when building a house. U get what U pay for. Buyer BEWARE!
