Declaring bankruptcy can stop the foreclosure, too.

There are other particulars that you certainly want to consider, such as other liens, BKs-Bankruptcies, etc.

Direct mail and lots of it......send out letters and postcards and purchase absentee owner lists, probate lists, bankruptcy lists, etc..

You must start somewhere.....there is no time like the present......What is the worst that can happen........Bankruptcy........big deal then you come back and learn to do it with no credit and no money.....the important thing is to start and never give up......get knocked down get back up....keep getting up untill you have learned the lessons and are where you want to be.If someone knocks you down and you do not get up you just lost your freedom.......Most are full of excuses and most will have excuses for why they never achieved anything in life.....the only reason is they had excuses

Who are you thinking will bail you out of bankruptcy when you can't make payments on either property? 

I am on the brink of filing bankruptcy.

Is anyone marketing to bankruptcy?

He calls me the other day and says that he is going to let the house go into foreclosue and is filing bankruptcy after trying to refi and the house is worth less than he owes(and I owe).

(it was basically stolen from us.. we had filed for bankruptcy, paid our lawyer to file for homestead so we could keep the house which we had no problem paying for, and the lawyer failed to file the paperwork in the right order, thus there was an objection from the trustee and we lost the house).

I just had a freakish weekend showing a house--the first applicant was a very attractive woman who worked for a cosmetic Surgery clinic -- she had obviously taken advantage of the employee discount--she had a very nice look and way about her- & her children were nice too--she was evasive about her credit -she said it wasn't "too good"----upon getting the screening back,the records showed she had undisclosed bankruptcy, recent eviction--she said that was her sister's eviction-- it was" just in her name", the LL name she gave me was not the property owner listed on the county records--"she said that was because of a divorce and he was hiding from his wife", the child support financial records to support her income I asked her to provide "couldn't be faxed because something was wrong with the fax machine at the clinic", and she had 30 recent collections as well as 4 new court judgements-- these were" just loans and things, so how does that affect me renting your house?"
