Not only would I recommend the areas you are looking in already, but also keep in mind that South of Seattle is another relief valve for those higher prices.

Nor do I think they want to spend any amount of time on the phone and not doing their job and carrying out their tasks.Modifications, forbearance and relief requests are similar but the investor input is required on those.  

@Tony SantosIf I remember right, one thing is that if you sign the permit and there is problems, you will not be able to get relief from a fund that Mass. has for screwed up jobs.Another thing, is the price that much cheaper compared to getting a fully licensed and insured plumber? 

If all the taxes are killing you because you are earning too much money, consider establishing an entity for SE tax relief then.

They will still be at a LTV of 80% .... which " Covers " them Also, my Lender knows and has seen the progress of me renovating the house that I just purchased, as well as knows my Background/Job of doing Renovation/Repairs for a Living for over 8 years now ( So I would think that this could only help me ) , in giving them relief in knowing that if they Loan to me for another Distressed property....

Fifth, IF the bank got "relief from stay", it still doesn't necessarily mean they will sell the house immediately, though they might.

You need to look at the service members civil relief act.

That's a relief, actually.

It may be more advantageous and expeditious to clear land and install septic tanks and utilities to the sites to get more comfort level available for the vast numbers of workers who will go insane long term without such relief.

9 times out of ten, it's just a stall tactic, and the bank gets a "relief of the stay" caused by the BK filing.
