Vegas and Phoenix have both witnessed a substantial increase in the average purchase price as a percent of ARV and profit margins are quite a bit tighter now compared to a year ago.

In order to avoid the costs to present proper documentation in order to foreclose, they are offering the borrowers and tenants cash for keys in order to avoid further damage and vandalism.A broker friend of mine actually witnessed a used car being given to a borrower in exchange for leaving the home in good condition and the keys.Since there is so much controversy over the foreclosure proceedures coupled with the sheer number of pending actions this is the best way around it for the investor.

i would, but i'd make sure someone was with me as well...it's always best to have a witness with you so they can't accuse you of stealing their "50 inch plasma", which is really a 13 inch tv/vcr combo from the 90's!!

I feel like I'm witness to a home poker game that's getting a little heated!

When I checked the guy's criminal, there was a DWI from four years ago, + a felony witness tampering charge and a simple assault charge from many years earlier.

I have witnessed some properties sitting much longer than they should because the buyers agent was given the listing and had no idea how to properly market the house.

I was the witness to an attempted murder.

If either of those 2 ends up being the property we buy I think we will likely, in the end, be OK on all grounds (both abandonment & estrangement with Seller's agents who told me about the respective property before I found my agent, the fact that neither seller's agents were actually present when I visited the properties (neither actually showed me their property), I have a witness that can attest that I asked/confirmed they were the seller's agent & that I said that I explicitly did not want them to be my buyer's agent due to their conflict of interest & that I was looking for a buyer's agent separately, the only written agreements will be with my agent, all due diligence (comps, research, site visits, etc) have been done with this agent, and the actual offer/procurement will be from/through this agent).

Additionally you can have a pre-made printed statement which includes (date, time, and what was witnessed) for a friend or witness to sign stating they read the notice and witnessed you seal and secure (duct tape) it to the main entry point of the house.

They are in a witness protection program.
