It really depends on how exactly you are buying, and how you are selling. Being able to get title insurance and the title company that you are using will play a big part on what they will "let" you do. You need to ask that question to the title company that you plan on using to close the transaction.

Bill,

I tried opening my website www.SeekHomesOnline.com with Firefox version 3.0.7 which just updated in the last couple days. It seems to work fine. What version do you have?

Thanks,

Eric Foster

P.S. I also contact my website host to see if they are aware of any issues. Waiting to hear back... Anyone else have any problems with formatting?

Post: foreclose or not to foreclose

There is nothing left to protect... i.e. Their credit already has dings, and two other foreclosures, the property has no equity...

Seems like a money pit to me! Plus, right now is the best time to let a bank foreclose due to the recent changes in the tax liabilty...

It is a personal decision... But I would let it go...In the meantime, I would list it for sale and sell via shortale.

If nothing else, this may delay the lender foreclosing, and may end up giving them longer in the property...

Post: When does the 3 months actually occur

I disagree...

Here in Oregon, most lenders will not file a notice of default until someone is 4-6 months past due... People can be 60 days past due and make one payment a month for the next 30 years, from what I have seen. Until a person in pushing (or at) 4 months past due (also when the loan moves to the foreclosure department) this is when they "may" return a payment asking for a payment to bring the loan current.

With all that said... In todays market, there really are no more rules! Lenders are woking with people more than I have ever seen.
