You’re chasing the wrong people.You can’t just use a checklist like “tall grass” and assume that means someone is motivated.The sensible solution to foreclosure is indeed to sell, but the emotional response for someone in foreclosure is to find a way to keep their house, not sell it.And what are all the "experts" teaching?
