I found this thread out there a little.I don't see people making more money in less time lazy through systems and processes.While those processes shouldn't define a person they are important to have in place and constantly be refining.Re-inventing the wheel every time is asking for lost time and additional work that is not needed.To the original poster it is YOUR MONEY.Take what everyone says with a grain of salt.Then determine what you would feel comfortable doing because if it goes South you wouldn't be losing their money.I look at this the same way conducting business as a commercial broker.If someone calls me up and is looking for a one in a thousand property I am sure it can be done.How long and how much time to get there is debatable.I don't personally base business models on long shots.I want to know when I put time in that my chances of getting a return are very high.It seems like this flipping business is getting tougher and tougher.I have been having many investors from across the country telling me that flips are getting to be more competitive and dried up.The volume is going down and they are tired of dealing with home buyers.They are looking for commercial properties to move to a different niche of investing.I can tell you I wouldn't want to hold SFR house rentals as an exit if it doesn't sell.I do find it interesting to hear what different residential flippers are doing on deals though.

What has been converting me from the GOP more than anything are the dirty tricks, lying and conduct more than most of the policies.

I realize that it is for my benefit, but can I not accomplish the same thing that a title company does, other then offer title insurance by conducting my own investigation into the former owners of the note?

Any inspections you want to conduct before committing yourself need to happen before the auction.

If you throw their junk away and move on, she may come back and claim that you conducted a self-help eviction.

Assuming you have inspection contigencies, you may conduct your inspections within this period.9b.

Just offering an opposing viewpoint.My husband and I are both Realtors and a team.We both "share" the non-gendered identity of Malok for internet purposes.I do agree though, that if someone wanted to actually conduct a transaction with another person in this forum, they would provide their relevant information in some form or fashion.

Now, is it safe to assume that this title company will conduct all of the necessary checks and I will have title insurance since they are running everything through a title company?

If they're the listing agent, it is likely that they have provided valuable information to the owner, learned the layout of the owners property, informed the owner of their responsibilities under the law, listed their home in the mls for every member to see, show and possibly sell, advertised their home in print and online, fielded telephone calls related to their home, conducted showings of their home and maybe even held an open house or two.

Best if the mortgage brokers do not conduct pissing matches in public.
