Hi there!  I am on the hunt for a good handyman in or around Marietta, GA for my rental. Lmk if you have someone great. Thanks!!

Anybody know a realtor in Peoria, IL to recommend.  My house is a 3 bed and would be in the 30k range.  Every realtor seems to want to do only deals over 50k...

Unfortunately, I was in this same spot.  Reverse mortgage, negative equity.  Bank didn't want to cooperate.  Went to auction and now it's back to bank...just a waiting game...  

I attended an auction for a property I had analyzed and wanted to bid on.  Bid had been previously unpublished, but when I got there, found out it was way too high...esp for the condition that it was in.  No one bid.  So now, I guess it's back to the bank?  How can I find out who the agent is assigned to it?  There was  a locksmith out there last week.  He told a family member of mine that was nearby that he was "hired by an agent".  I have property radar, but I can only see that it's now bank owned....

thanks in advance!

 How does anyone purchase at trustee sales if there's no real way to search for a clear title?  I've done a title search, but from what my agent said, there still could be things that aren't showing and only a preliminary search would show that..but the prelim can't be done since it's not an active listing...

I'm planning to go to an auction soon for a Trustee Sale.  I'm confused by what I'm bidding on though.  The Public Notice says " You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself".  I've run a title search and it shows one mortgage of $75k, but the public notice and zillow say $260k.  It's not worth that much, though!  My agent says the only way is to do a preliminary title report, but that can't be done bc it's not an active listing...  I'm confused at what to do!  How does anyone purchase a home at a Trustee Sale if you really don't know what you're getting into?!

 Do you have a link to the paid programs online that give access to title lists, Kiersten?  Thank you in advance.

I have identified a few preforeclosures in my area and would love to make a cash offer to the owners.  What is the best way to do this?  Walk up and knock on the door (might be tenants and not homeowners?).  Send a letter in the mail (easy to ignore)...or have an agent contact the owner..

Just wondering what everyone's experiences are.  Thanks!

I didn't know there was an app!  Interesting.

My parent's neighbor recently passed away.  I'm interested in purchasing his home.   I spoke to the neighbor's son that told me that his dad had a reverse mortgage.  Any tips on how I can purchase a home with a reverse mortgage?  Thanks!
