Hunterbrook Media published a report yesterday critical of LGI Homes, claiming that an internal training document "appears to direct unlicensed mortgage activity by sales agents as part of a strategy to control and pressure buyers." "Hunterbrook Media's investment affiliate, Hunterbrook Capital, does not have any positions related to this article at the time of publication. Positions may change at any time. Our law firm affiliate Hunterbrook Law and the litigation firm Slarskey LLP are investigating potential claims based upon Hunterbrook Media's reporting," the report noted.
