How long is normally her Protected Period?

Is that normal for this market?

Here is my generalization: "REO / short sale specialist" agents are on average waaaay more shady than "normal" agents, and I wouldn't trust one farther than I could throw her or him.I'll give an extreme example I encountered:Title clouded, unclear if bank actually had the right to foreclose to begin with.

If it was a contractor you may be able to get the contractor to come back and do the work but normally you have to transfer warrantied work into your name prior to closing.

Normal real estate appreciation, the kind agents and homeowners talk about, is dependent on a lot of factors.

Also, if it's been more than two years (I think it's two years, don't quote me on that), here you are required to re-paint because of normal wear and tear.

The mortgage process is like the normal mortgage process but the loan most likely would be a Non-Recourse loan.  

My partner doesn't normally go for the low balance stuff but I wanted the experience and, as someone used to lower end rentals, I wasn't afraid of taking that kind of property back as an REO.I had a fuzzy idea of how the buying process worked and what you did to manage the note.

For example, there is a very small building materials store that sold SnapTile for 1.50-2.50 a square foot which normally runs 5-7 dollars a square foot in my area my flooring guy was unaware of.

Most of them don't care about the additional cost and are just glad everything is back to normal.
