Actually, I was referring to TAX sales foreclosure. Where would I get such list?

I bought a land at a County tax deed auction. I did my due diligence and both the city zoning website and the zoning expert at the City said it is residential.

I won the auction....excited....and then another zoning expert at the City said it is Open Land. I confirmed with a higher person at the City is it Open Land.

Is there ANY chance I could get my money back form the County as I was misinformed? Any suggestion on how to proceed? This is a nightmare...

I have a rental in CA. My contract says there is $100 per day for late fee and the rent is $2900 per month. I am not sure legally I can charge $100 per day in CA? The tenants are 7 days late, (including 2 days during weekend). Can I ask for $500 then? Can I just say I will decide later, whether I take some of the security deposit (those $500)? Is there a grace period in CA for tenants who pay late?

I am investigating this niche. I haven't decided yet on the financing: HELOC, second mortgage, cash-out refi, etc.

Not planning to move there. This is for buy and hold.

I am looking for a mentor for tax pre-foreclosure (before they go to auction). If you are in the state of California, it is even better, but I have a lot to learn from any state. Feel free to send me an email.

What's the easiest way to get the list for those tax pre-foreclosure in a specific county? Did you use postcards or letter with a QuitClaim Deeds?

I am considering buying an old home in France (not necessarily a chateau); they have houses called "manoir", that are really nice. The idea would be to buy and hold.

Anyone has experience on buying real estate in France as a US citizen? How did you get a loan? How was the management property?

I bought a land recently and my insurance "Libery Mutual" said I cannot insure land and cannot even put it under umbrella policy. Is this typical? Any insurance company that you would recommend?

I have a land to sell for $400K. Any chance to sell such high ticket items on ********** or EBay? Or those sites are mainly for cheap lands?

Anyone bought the Ebook deedgrabber? Any feedback?

Is it possible to ask each County Recorder's Office for the pre-foreclosure listing? or do I have to be physically present and extract them one by one on the County's computer?
