My next auction sheriff sale auction has 2 properties that it appears the plantiffs lawyers didn't do their homework on with easily identified mortgages not being listed correctly in the foreclosure judgements.  

Hey BP members.I had a section 8 tenant who did a lot of damage to my rental in Las Vegas.After complaining about the tenant to Section 8, they promised me that if I were to get a judgement against the tenant then they will tell the tenant to either pay me or loose the voucher. 

At any rate Tenants that have evictions on their credit report or a history of that sort of behavior (judgements etc) usually get weeded out in our screening process.

It can be months or years (or never) between the Lis Pendens and a foreclosure judgement. 

Some towns don't sell the liens, some do it with a bid process of the entire portfolio, some sell one offs.When you buy a tax deed in MA, (strange verbiage here in MA) you are not buying the property, you are buying the lien, and you go through a lengthy collection process, which may eventually result in a judgement at the end giving you the property, or you may have gotten paid off by then.  

I wrote out a Promissory Note for a Personal Loan to a relative for $50k.The Relative works in Weston, Florida and earns 6 figures.The 1st Payment is due on Jan. 1st, 2018 but I despite trying to contact my cousin, he seems to be hiding out from me and other family members.I think the only recourse I have is to hire an Attorney to get a Judgement and Garnish his Salary.Can anyone recommend an Attorney, preferably in the Weston/Fort Lauderdale/Miami area?

You can also check the MD judiciary case search to see if a foreclosure has bee filed or if there are judgements against the owner.

Can you please provide some guidelines about what can wrong with REO from homesearch or auction.com I understand these are foreclosed property with all the junior liens and all judgement wiped out , am I safe to assume that ?

I ask a 1000 questions now about the owners, the property, bankruptcy, child support, liens, judgements, etc. and then I do a title search just to make sure.

I have a judgement, and would like to try and collect on it.
