I have 10 acres of raw land that I purchased to put a house on that already has a well, power and septic available. 

I definitely need a bigger list but I was testing out a power dialer.

If you don't pay they have the power to foreclose and also to force payment thru a judgement if you ever sell the house.

Many camps will counter to power of leverage and they are right, if used properly and under the right market conditions it is a powerful tool.

One thing we know people have done is have a power of attorney so if there are docs that person could sign on their behalf if you are going to be out of the country a lot

Getting pre-qualified up front is so key especially for international clients so they have a clear picture of their purchasing power and there are no hiccups when it comes to closing.

To kill power for non payment they would need to access basemt.

also in the future this is what I do to see if I think a property is occuppied.1. drive by  2. knock on door.3. try to look in mail box if there is bunchs of mail thats an indicator.4. look at power meter if its running or not.5.
