Try to uncover any unknown information.Example, I have had to go to the county clerk's office to look at a deed on a REO so I could find out about the hidden 2nd lien.

Why do you think they've hidden the "Deep Discount" part?

Lots of hidden repairs needed, etc.

I did however write a sponsored post which received few interesting comments, that is when I wrote the controversial "ePerks- A Scam Or A Gem." post.Personally, I would advise every real estate agent to stay as far away as possible from ePerks.

My biggest fear when purchasing a REO are those hidden expenses.

[b]For you top end property guys, I can relaminate them in REAL WOOD veneer, in your choice of species, stain and clearcoat them, I also replace the doors in solid wood, standard or hidden hinges, matching the veneer species on the faces, and you can even design them with an easy program for the order.

I come across some real gems just working on appraisals.

So for the last week, in fear of what she may find, I went through everything I had and made sure anything of personal or monetary value was hidden, because I don't know what this psycho is going to do!

Why risk getting stuck with a hidden lien if you don't have to!

Right now I'm living in a rehab-in-progress (A gem of a place near Lawrenceville that looks like a pepto-bismol salesman painted it and had two bathrooms upstairs that resembled ol' faithful when you turned the faucets on).All that really means is that my wife and I are knee-deep in sheetrock, power tools, and have a backyard full of busted bathroom covered by a tarp.
