Out of curiosity whats the cost of getting a RE in Texas?

Welcome @Tina S.Out of curiosity, if you dont mind mentioning the company who do you/your husband work for?  

Most just call out of curiosity or wondering what I would offer.

Out of curiosity what is your cut off point for "large complexes" in number of units?

I was able to settle one for the amount originally owed (got rid of $3k of accrued interest) and am still working on the other one.  

@Christopher WinklerOut of curiosity, how is it a lien with equity gets discharged in Ch 7? 

Peak their curiosity, they dont know if its a friend, neighbor, acquaintance, so you'll get a decent number of callbacks.

Just out of curiosity, did you get pre-approved for the FHA loan before finding this?
