If you need something else to read before you go to bed tonight you can also google the Maryland Credit Service Act which covers foreclosures, loan modifications, deficiency judgement negotiations etc.This is the basics.

Thank you Rob K, I was not aware of that and I don't think that she is either.

MREs are a great option Rob K (trust me, I have had them quite a few times) but they have certain limitations.

One thing that I have found effective for making sure I am getting a decent price when I don't "have a guy" like Rob K mentioned.- I pay for angieslist.com ($50/yr.)- Do a search for A rated contractors in the category (say plumbing)- Start calling (~1/3 leave voicemail, 1/3 leave message with admin, 1/3 talk to them directly)- When speaking with the contractor directly I explain the problem as best I can and ask them what they think the problem is and what it will cost to fixAfter talking to several you will probably understand your situation better, so you will be able to better explain to the next contractor and you will also have a pretty good sense of the rates they are charging.

Hi K,Did you ever find a buyer for your property?

I really appreciate itSomething I wanted to clarify: Uwe K., what I meant by "too much work" is that I don't want to deal with late rent, sob stories, kicking people out, and finding new tenants every so often.
