.: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Engelo Rumora:  What happened to the good old shoulder barge or accidental door kick hahaI don't ever remember buying a house without getting some eyes on it.I've always found some a back door or window "open" heheIf a neighbor approaches me, "No habla ingles" 😁Yep, I used to drive neighborhoods and look for those deserted looking houses that had potential.

I mean since banks wont make these loans under these same terms.. you would have a financing desert..

The big play for tax sale in CA is bare land in the high deserts and in the areas that have a lot of old recreational communities were lots never got built on.

So if your big into water sports, living in the desert could have all the profit in the world but it's going to be miserable hell and odd's are after some months the profits wont matter.

The city is in a desert so they have lots of space to build on, and the current problem is oversupply.

Quote from @Sahara Faughn: I am currently in Preforeclosure with a scheduled auction on August 20th, and I am under a special forebearance due to medical issues and having 2 small children under the age of 7.

Online, I actually don’t remember the original site I was on-one of the big ones which led me to a desert land site where one woman who owned a lot of San Bernadino land was selling.

(Calling any real estate lawyers to comment.)Assuming one could live with the litigation risk, I would propose three options for buyer prospects to tour listings: 1) A buyer’s agent from another brokerage could schedule a tour OpenDoor-style, but with no compensation offered from the listing agent or seller 2) If the buyer has no agent from another brokerage, a buyer’s agent from mine could accompany the prospect and open the door for a fee ($25-50) 3) if a prospect insists on touring alone, for scheduling reasons or any other, the prospect would have to show proof of funds/lender pre-approval and pass a background check (this last part could pose challenges) You're passionate about the idea, I can see, and I'm not saying none of that could or would work, but in my honest opinion you're looking for a nugget of gold in a sea of desert here.

Desert Land?
