The courts will not award a judgement to any unlicensed contractor.

Make sure you read up on the rules and maybe question the clerks in whatever office is responsible for the sale about their procedure.Based on what happens here the lender reps will bid a little above their final judgement price.

Seller is to pay ZERO towards the closing.Seller's obligation to close contingent upon lender accepting proceeds of the sale as final and full payment satisfaction of note and mortgage deed indebtedness with no further recourse of deficiency judgement against seller.The lender is going want a net when they approve.

My better judgement tells me to not do a price change.

In my area they cannot stop eviction if I get 4 late rent judgements in a 12 month period.

I didn't feel that I had enough information to determine if something was a good deal or not.Thinking back before I finally pulled the trigger on my first deal ... it started to become 'paralysis by over-analysis' ... at some pt, you have to trust the numbers (i.e. your judgement)!

Also they check for eviction and money judgements and verify the address the applicant provides.

Also you will likely never see the judgement money.And you don't need an attorney for this if you want to save some money.

I spent so much of time and money fixing it up that it might cloud my judgement. 

I am testing a new one at one of my rehabs now that seems to be good, but I want to reserve judgement until he is all done.
