You would know the first project I can really sink my teeth in has to be a huge one.

@Christy Harris  pretty much how we handle closings out our way... its rare as hen's teeth that the buyer and seller are at the same closing together.. even if they live in town. 

Some here seem to be finding banks that go to 6 months, rare as hen's teeth probably, IMO.

Many bank sites just have a few properties and can be a pain to use> In our market, after FNMA and HUD, the largest REO owner is Deutsche Bank (big issuer of sub-prime and alt-A mortgage securities) and I don't believe they have anything on-line whatsoever (and they have a reputation for mismanaging their properties and being ridiculously difficult to work with on transactions.)

I then told him that if he didn't remove my ad immediately, I would fly to Africa, ride a donkey to his (bleep) hole village, and kick his remaining teeth out.

It has no bearing whatsoever on any title search or how much time you have.

I applied for and received a 203k loan to complete the project by the skin of my teeth.

Do not give any deposit whatsoever outside escrow, do not release any money before close of the deal.

The source of our data is a division of First American Title called Core Logic or RealQuest (we have no affiliation with them whatsoever).They are the industry standard for real estate mailer data for all types of real estate, in my opinion.

I don't know about any other members, but I receive no compensation whatsoever for any general knowledge information that I offer.
