Hi,Experienced foreclosure investors may work in various stages to give the solution for buying a home, investing in property and etc.

Where is your focus in the early stages.

Once I confirm the numbers and validate the deal, trust me, I will ONLY release rehab funds at certain, pre-defined stages, which normally track the permit process; carpentry/framing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, drywall, finish, final CO, etc.#5 - Oh, let's not forget..., What experience level does the borrower have?

You need to appear to the public to be poor and, if a potential litigant gets past that stage, appear to be judgment-proof!!

Looks great, the staging goes a long way too…simple.

Why do all your pictures says 6/6- makes me think you've had the house sitting for 2 1/2 months and noone wants it.9th picture- remove that picture with the flower- again table is blocking the door- add cookbook where the flower picture is- and can I say I really dislike those towels but if needed can you put them together for me.10th picture- hmm get back to you on that one.11th picture- may not be so bad- picture is dark and stuff is too close to walkway.I think I'll stop now- to me the house looks like someone has lived in it- not like its a renovated staged house- more like hey someone has lived here.

FNMA says "The number of loans at risk of becoming seriously delinquent has diminished in 2011 as early stage delinquencies have decreased.

Thanks, Rich CRichard, I know your question was to Michael, but wanted to add that age of dog is not really a factor (after puppy stage -- I don't allow puppies at all, will consider a year old if very well behaved) An untrained 3-year-old, 25-lb beagle can do more damage to a property than a well-behaved 80-lb lab ever would, so weight being a limiting factor in people's minds always surprises me.

The property is on the border of an up and coming area with an elementary school and middle school less than a mile away.

My experience in REI thus far has led me to cross paths with many incredible people at all stages of experience in investing but with common traits of integrity, professionalism, ambition and a tendency to place a high value on life-long learning and being of value to others to help propel them toward their own goals.
