I understand the fear of excessive cleaning and labor, but in my experience it is minimal, especially if you institute a 3-night minimum, or something similar.

You need to speak with several local/regional banks who have an appetite for this type of real estate in your area.

The lower end of the market generally has brisk sales, with DOM 30-60 in most areas in this healthy "sellers" market where there is a healthy appetite for rental units from investors and hedge funds.

The question you should ask is whether your liability coverages (check your homeowners/GL and your umbrella/excess forms) might exclude bodily injury to a hired worker or otherwise exclude coverage to your tenant's injury while doing this work for you.

The trustee may be hoping they get an offer high enough to pay off the mortgage and give him a percent of the excess, so he won't release it, however he cannot hold a secured property indefinitely or the creditor bank may appeal or object so he allows it to be sold by bid.

Anything over 4 points would be a little excessive.

I did buy with cash using the CC's though ;) However, yes, my scores have dropped to 694 and although my credit is all good it's now excessive.

(I don't allow my tenants to go month to month) I believe $50 is the reasonable max that a court would allow, before the judge rules it excessive, but not positive.

I'll address predatory lending and dealing in another thread as it is an underlying issue here, but is much broader and in depth than this matter.I know some don't understand what predatory is, it's basically taking an excessive unfair advantage, that excess is set to norms or as to the average transaction like the subject transaction.

When that happens, you will get a refund of the excess SS tax paid.
