TENANTS AND THEIR RELATIVES ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE A BUCK VIA THE "LANDLORD LOTTERY" (suing the landlord for anything and everything).

A few bucks?

This is where you have the potential to make money on top of your auction, The fees that certain states/counties charge are minimal (at least the ones I prefer to do business with). 90% of the time I charge 300.00 for closings costs minus ebay fees for selling is 70 bucks, This leaves me with approx 230 dollars for me.

"It's just a business adventure trying to pick up a few bucks just like any other business,†Yea, its an "adventure" alright.

I feel that in the more mature economies, poor people resent the rich rather than aspire to be like them.

(shrug) a new dishwasher is a couple hundred bucks and you can get a window AC for $125.I don't fuss over peanuts, figuring I'm going to have to do repairs, anyway.

TomI had something similar once, we hired a private dective locally who found them for about 70 bucks.

They might take X bucks instead of the full payoof and you'll get a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the estate, a quit claim deed.

So, is it possible, yes, I guess someone might advance a few bucks, but it would probably be very expensive and it is not a good idea from a financing standpoint.

Tract properties of the 50s and 60s now have mature landscaping, most can be retro-fitted for energy updates easily and lot sizes are sufficient.
