I wanted to start off by saying my prayers are with your child and family in the recovery and stability of his health!

I really want to seize this opportunity to simultaneously aid recovery in my community and launch myself into active real estate investing.

By the end of 2010 interest rates will be much higher, which will kill any housing recovery hopes...

If its no longer habitable, and you have landlord insurance, the landlord insurance would cover lost rent.If you have homeowners and the place is empty pending a tenant moving in, or you have a tenant in place, you'll be lucky to recovery anything.Flood insurance covers "rising water".

I don't remember the term but I'll call it depreciation recovery.

Being a former college athlete makes me want to take on that challenge. 

Hi everyone, I am a crisis interventionist and case manager working in the recovery industry.

It has not appeared in Denver, but we are further into recovery than most areas and serious discounts are few and far between.

For example, if you were suing on mold that you discovered in the property, you should get a real estate attorney and have him or her prepare an affidavit that a mold remediation expert can put forward about the damages the mold caused in the property and why the previous owner knew, should have known or was deliberately unaware of the mold to your detriment.My state also allows attorneys fees on improper disclosure, meaning you can go really hard on these sorts of actions if you're going to recover, because the attorney can get paid $10,000 of attorneys' fees even if your recovery is only $4,000, for example. 

For those seniors who couldn't keep up with property maintenance, you may have some good fix and flip opportunities.Also look into Allegheny County's (VPRP) Vacant Property Recovery Program.
