My 2 cents As the old saying goes: Do not confuse motion and progress.

You have Ravendale who is an absolute warzone, then going up Connor heading towards Outer Driver is nicer.Both would be outside my comfort zone doing Detroit investing.My standard thing I'll say: spend some money on exterior lighting(dusk to dawn, motion sensor, high powered lighting).

If a borrower is in BK then the bank likely will require a BK discharge / dismissal or a motion to sell prior to or while in the short sale review to continue moving forward.

Install cameras everywhere, Motion lights, Alarms.

As of right now, it seems like HUD sales are about as uniform (state to state) as they have ever been.

Borrower filed a motion to extend. 

Does anyone here in the forum know much about how long it usually takes for a real estate attorney to get a court approval from foreclosure trustee and the Superior Court after filing a Motion to Substitute Purchaser?

Now I’m just captivated by the slow motion train wreck it has become.

Without the new law, an uncontested case can go from start to final judgement in 4-5 months if the plaintiff attorneys file timely motions/set hearings as opposed to months of inactivity.

Even though I haven't really gotten great responces yet, the feeling that I'm actually doing something and putting my plan in motion has made me way more confident than before when I was just thinking about starting my business.
