Bentivolio is the tea party candidate known as the “accidental
congressman” because he won his House seat in 2012 after then-Rep. Thad
McCotter’s re-election bid imploded and he was kicked off the ballot.

Let's be fair David Trott's joined his father's law firm which already was specializing in foreclosures when he got there. The younger Trott just turned it into a more effective money making machine where they could touch all aspects of the foreclosure business. They did well, but when things really took off in 2008, David Trott was already well positioned to become the foreclosure king he is today. Of course like he says, he doesn't care if a property is foreclosed or a loan modified – he gets paid either way.
