Hello to everyone I´m really happy to announce that my Real Estate Studies Project (Hestia Real Estate Sciences Initiative) is about to get greenlighted by my college´s (Tec de Monterrey) administrators and it´s going to be a Minor in Real Estate Finance and Development program that will hopefully start in August this year, any doubts and questions you have about my project feel free to ask

In regards to the states of Maryland (except pre-foreclosure), Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey?
