I was attempting to buy a SFH in Gary, IN a few weeks ago, and it was snatched up during the owner occupant exclusive period with HUD.  

There must be another reason, and it may be the lenders attempts to get around the tax laws.The treatment of the property would not impact the ability, or lack of ability to foreclose in the event of a default.

(she's not the foreclosed debtor)Today: No redemption was attempted and paperwork filed to make the transfer of deed official.Thank you BP community and founders!  

REIA meetings are for members but the first meeting someone attends is usually free with a guest pass as an attempt to lure new members.

Cap rates can be deceiving when attempting to get the real value of an apartment property, use caution!

My management company attempts to sign two year leases and I do not worry about missing an opportunity to increase rents since Memphis does not see the same amount of rent appreciation as other markets.

I would also argue that you are missing out on an attractive asset class if you are only going to invest in "controlling assets" as you point out, it's a job, so large apts which are an attractive asset class are not attempted.

The inside isn't done, it looks squatted inside and it feels like the sorriest attempt at a house, more of a super large shack.

Disclaimer: I'm not a legal professional, however if a party attempts to make a claim on a property who's name wasn't originally on tittle when mortgage was originated is a legal term called "unjust enrichment".

I attempted to wholesale 40 acres in Broken Arrow, OK and the best piece of advise I can give you is to spring for a survey...every potential buyer will ask you for it and none of them will want to pay for it.
