Foreclosures are a part of life and has been for ages.

If there is an implication that only one provider is acceptable or to be used by a party that receives any benefit from the use of that provider, steering may be deemed to have existed.State license laws for agents and brokers also address steering and CBAs.

So it's probably good to just budget 6% for agent/broker fees and then discuss specifics with each selling agent when selling?

All,Do you have recommendations for agents who specialize in buying investment properties for flipping on the west side of the 405 in Los Angeles?

My plan was to refinance between 6 months and a year from now, get some equity out of it and repay my father ASAP who is helping with the down payment.We did get through the house yesterday with the inspector and both he and the friend (who I see as my unofficial mentor) agreed it was "above average" condition for age, etc. and both also agreed it'd probably be a good deal, even in the $85k range, so I do feel a lot better about that!

Unlike them/the person that called you asking for agents in the area, I am willing to (and rather) pay for a property in a better neighborhood in need of some cosmetic work.

I represented a client through ********** and for agents you have even more hoops to jump through but it was an otherwise uneventful closing!

If not personally do you have any recommendations for agents that have experience with these or possibly even specialize in these deals?

You might have to provide some credit for age.

Watch out for agents wanting to list it for 20% or 30% over market.
