For some of you who might have a distaste for lawyers or more importantly Criminal Defense lawyers, I don't defend people who commit murder, child molestation, rape, child abuse or anything of the sort.

Detroit has always been one of the riskiest cities but there are people who defend it.A lot of it depends on what your risk comfort level is, how much work do you want to do on a long-distance property, do you want some appreciation potential with it on top of the cash flow, are you a fan of headaches or prefer to avoid them (some markets are better for avoiding them than others), etc.

Texas may be different, but odd that IRS is a named defendant, without any lien in the public records.

@Sam Leon @Jeffrey Yates Obviously not a lawyer, but my understanding from multiple attorneys is: 1) The Super Priority Theory is dead, and unenforceable 2) If the county/city that holds the lien, filed the lien prior to the bank LP: a) If the FC complaint named the city/county as a Defendant, the lien is wiped out.

I like all the perspectives.I want to defend myself a little here . . .

Everyone would do well to follow him and learn as much as possible about not only flipping houses, but also the systems he uses to get more done than anyone I know in the business.For the record, he did not ask me to defend him, and I am not one of his students.

The defendant even elaborated fake bank statements for his company Paradigm, claiming that, “for every dollar invested, he had a dollar in the bank.”Other horrifying stories have come to the surface of Donahoo’s excess with investors funds, including a shopping spree in Park City, Utah with $10,000 being spent on fur coats.If you are thinking of doing trust deed lending or other loans with an individual or company such as this, think again.

You may be able to find info in the foreclosure case you found in the civil court records online - see if anyone was served on behalf of the homeowner (attorney listed for them as defendant maybe?)

Only other option if you want to go the low road is to have em move out and defend the foreclosure while you rent it out and split the rent with em to help pay the legal bills.  

Sheriff's department has 30 days to 60 days time frame to serve the defendant.
