My partners and I have begun setting our plan in motion over the past couple days.  

Most companies stake out a place for 20-30 days.Otherwise, you may want to install motion sensors, automatic timers, an alarm system, or cameras (live or fake, but either way a deterrent).  

Hello,So I have always been interested in acquiring rental properties and when I recently discovered Bigger Pockets I really got motivated to start putting things in motion. 

The sale date could be postponed or foreclosure on hold for other reasons though. ...and a simple motion to request stay protection would put the stay into place at least until the motion is heard.

Samuel R.Congrats on putting everything in motion.

Generally speaking, he rants a lot about Taco Tuesday buyers (the uniformed masses, buying out of priced-out-forever panic), and then highlights the listing(s) showing how ridiculous (in his opinion) the market has gotten. 

I am working to get the wheels in motion in terms of my first investment deal.

Even with family make sure it's done right so that you start becoming familiar with the motions and this doesn't just become a one-time off deal.

Me and my mother in-law are trying to get this property that her mother owned her mother is deceased and we on in the process of foreclosure and the judge wants us to file a motion my question is should we file it ourselves or should we get an attorney. 

In order for the court to do such things a motion must be filed by either side and the court must first stay or postpone the sale and then the court must set aside time to deal with the motion.
