Hi all-I own several hundred homes in the Columbia, SC area and am having trouble finding property preservation companies that might be able to help me.

DC group that is a very easy answer.. what separatesthe Millionaire investor from the average investor is a couple of thingsfirst off experience, wisdom and knowledge of the business are all keys.secondly the willingness to learn, preserve and desire to never give up..this is the case with whatever you do in life..their are tons of bookson this subject..

Meanwhile, the listing agent and the preservation companies have to do their reports on condition - so imagine them telling the bank that the condition is above average when they thought it was a dump.

Fees that get tacked onto a Final Judgment can include:  Outstanding principal, past due interest & taxes, PMI, appraisals, property preservation, servicing fees, insurance premiums, property inspections, court costs, filing fees and last but not least attorney's fees.  

Also, there more "education" required on how to operate the LLC so that you can preserve the desired asset protection in the event you are named in a lawsuit.I hope this helps. 

However, I am willing to leave $5-10K in a deal if everything else is holding and my capital is well-preserved.2.

The investors out here do rely on appreciation, but these same investors are often preserving and growing wealth instead of trying to obtain wealth.

This preserves the access to the HELOC for when it is needed. 

If you can absorb the differences and you're going to be using leverage anyway, you might just as well preserve as much of your cash as possible. 

If the property has been winterized, what you have is a lender preserving its asset and presumably an upcoming foreclosure auction.In your area it sounds like upcoming foreclosure auctions must be noticed in the county... there should be a place where notices of all upcoming sales are posted publicly and consistently.
