I’m curious as to some insight community may have with regard to how the investments can be negotiated using the resources of the company I own (i.e manpower, equipment, Managment and legalities (permits,etc) has at its disposal.

When it comes to claims the larger companies have the man power to respond quickly.  

They can't get local folks here because we don't have the manpower so they are recruiting them from elsewhere and bringing them in.

In your agreement you should allow a minimum initial draw (for material and manpower) and then subsequent payments at the completion of various stages of the job. 

Client shouldn't care about whether they work through an agent or not as long as the deal hits their parameters.If they were trying something shady or illegal I could see them not wanting to use an agent.Not saying you to use an agent or that if you don't you are shady.Simply saying if it's a deal it's a deal to purchase.Almost all residential REO is listed through a broker/agent.The banks/servicers do not have the manpower to market themselves.We do not have a public record in Georgia as you stated.Most foreclosures are non-judicial here.1.The attorneys are simply the foreclosure attorneys foreclosing on the property.Until it's foreclosed on the bank can only sell the note if they want to.All other approval would have to have the owner go along with it as well.2.Courthouse steps in Georgia is the first Tuesday of every month.These sales are ALL CASH sales if you want to buy.The bank will give the attorney a minimum bid to start at and if nobody bids or the bank bids it up the bank will take back to sell REO.Many properties slated for sale on Tuesday will get pulled for BK filings or loan mod workouts.You can get the minimum reserve bids by calling the attorneys office and giving the case number usually 2 weeks before the courthouse steps sale date.3.You can do this and will find people in pre-foreclosure.It all really depends on what this investor wants to do.Are they buying to rent it out,rehab and flip,assign it (wholesaling).They first need to define what they are trying to do and define a marketing plan around it to generate leads.good luck

Don't have the 'manpower' and there is a group of mailboxes.

We talked to BofA and according to the manager they don't have the man power to foreclose the homeowner because there's too many of them and they don't have enough staff to do that and it would costs them more.

I have never understood the manpower, technology, walls, and general effort and expenses involved with "securing" our borders, finding illegals already in the country, deporting them, supporting them while here, etc.

At the moment its enforced by the State in relation to multi-family dwellings...My State does not have the manpower to enforce it currently on single, two and three families-they will though as it is a potential added revenue stream.

You can double your pipeline through the increase in man power, leverage your experience as agents, serve your clients more effectively through speicializtion, be active investors, and limit your risks at the same time.I have help create six partnerships such as the above and have written opinions from several attorneys that this is the way to go in terms of the reduction of potential risk.
