But as I said above in either case it has to be probated because that is how title is officially transferred.  

You're now officially a RE investor.

Gabe, I used to be involved with the Property Owners association who did a lot of lobbying. 

However, we could list our home tomorrow for $140K.Clearly I understand that I'm comparing apples to oranges bc a mobile home is not officially real estate and our house is.My point is, I think (and I could be wrong) that I could rehab this property and sell it for $27K.Thank you all for the input, this really helps as BP is my one and only location for industry professionals to weigh in on this situation.I know my first deal won't be... well, ideal.  

just waiting for them to close :) My first official deal!

The first time anyone officially knows about foreclosure proceedings is when the notice of auction is filed, which only has to occur about 30-days in advance.  2) The high equity list is nothing more than properties with a last deed date =>15 years previous, which is information freely available on the county tax site.  

Hey BP,Working on a wholesale deal with a lady from California and hope to have the property officially under contract within the next few days.

Thanks for the good tips that I will keep in mind, I agree with you also I have now officially set saving goals.

But they were extremely helpful and most importantly they told me that the fee was only due after the timeshare was officially cancelled.

@Aaron I've seen a lot of your posts you seem very knowledgeable, besides contact official how would you approve this deal if you don't mind me asking?
