Also, NeighborWorks, Habitat or the school district would have to provide a written commitment that describes their intent for the site, a firm timeline for disposition or use of the property, the intended use of the property, the scope of work that would happen and proof that the selected agency had adequate funding to pay for the work.

Hi, All,Just a quick post, in hopes that even one person might be warned away from what I experienced.I just went thru a lot of lost cash and pain dealing with a fraudulent Credit Repair Agency (per FTC).The reason I'm posting this is just to hopefully help someone else by warning them away from these companies.Let's just say i wish someone had warned me about just ONE of the 36 companies described in this pdf file from the Federal Trade Commission....http://www.ftc.gov/os/2008/10/081023sweeplist.pdfVernHere is an example I found posted on the web, described in this FTC document...I3SOLUTIONS.NET, GENE SCHWALEN: Cease & Desist issued to i3Solutions.net, Merle Eugene Schwalen III, by NC Attorney General.Item 1.

We are in the process of filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, sites like this and any other state or local agency that protects consumers from people like this.

In Tucson, that agency is "Neighborhood Resources".

I would check with a local mobile home dealer and ask them what state agency handles title turn-ins/surrendures and then contact them as Rachel mentioned.

I have called several state agencies about this and they all give me different answers.

Speaking about out-of-control spending, the debate is beginning on Obama's proposed budget.Here was an interesting comment: House Minority Whip Eric Cantor charged that Obama's budget is "so far out of the mainstream" that even members of Obama's own party are reluctant to support it.Story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090325/ap_on_go_co/congress_budget :cool:

Call a bunch of title companies and ask them, they would know.You might or probably will get a lot of title agents have no clue what your talking about so they'll be like, "whats your number and I'll get back to you"if those words are mentioned, either hang up and call another title company or ask them if they can do WRAPS.Wraps are very similar to Sub2s and there is a chance that a title company will understand that.If they tell you NO you cannot do those transaction here in NM, ask them for the proof that you can't or refer you to their legal department to have them explain why it is not legal whether they call it a Wrap or Sub2You could also contact the Attorney Generals office, but your not going to get any straight answers there unless you can find an article or press release relating to Subject to's or 'creative acquisitions in real estate' detailing certain laws that they will most certainly cite in those press releases/articles.What ever you do, do not go to the department of Real Estate or any other agency that is obviously funded and structured for Realtors b/c they will tell you anything outside a standard typical transaction involving an Agent is illegal.Hope that helps

I am now looking into and interviewing with a couple of different agencies.

With banks, mortgage brokers, stock brokers, insurnace companies, rating agencies and others all taking a cut of these products, the demand was insatable.
