This notice has to include the time, location and property of the foreclosure sale, the trustee's name, address, phone number and a statement that the property is being sold at an auction.

Other than a few short notice move outs, I've not had any real problems.Folks with "bad credit" or "past issues" are usually those that pay cash and want to fly under the radar.I don't even take damage depsoits as inevitabley when they do move out they are going to hound me for return of " their money".

However, if you're pretty sure the owner's in "trouble" try to determine her "zero out" price on the house, when you view the property look on all closet shelves and kitchen drawers to see how many late notices from the light company, cable company, Sears, Master Charge etc are sitting around.

At some point, the lender files a public notice that they want their money or they will sell the property.

I notice you are in Maryland.

Apparently Fannie Mae will follow suit.

There are areas here that are just fine, as I can personally can vouch for.Just for s**ts and giggles I looked at some properties in my old zipcode 60657 and was first of all astounded at the prices, but did notice that the ratio of taxes were not as bad in comparison to Champaign where I was looking.As far as comparison of zipcodes I certainly took notice of the difference between my old zip and the one where my aunt is 60647.

check out that new 7.0 Desktop Underwriter that Fannie Mae just went to.

No Fannie/Freddie lender will do that.

One good example I can think of when weighing the reason one goes into business: I have always noticed that in the residential real estate field, Agents who work very hard for buyers and sellers, seemingly without regard for the money, but who focus on providing service to their clients, also seem to make the most money.
