Please don't quote me :)If this is correct, however, I was wondering if this was a regional stipulation?

The top producing agent in our region is doing it.

What markets/regions are you looking at in 2014?

I am currently taking advantage of the marketplace tool here on the BP website for finding foreclosures and I've come across some multi family properties in my particular area, Akron/Canton region in Ohio, that show tax lien beside them.

I believe the POS inspection is a regional practice specific to certain municipalities in Northeast Ohio, so it'll be hard to get specific insight about this issue.I hope the realtors will be flexible about this one, but I have had poor experiences with this brokerage in the past.
