They have heard of the stories of how it happens and it just sounds so much better and easier when you hear if from someone else then when you actually experience it yourself :-)Ok so I'm getting a little excited here and kind of carried away (sorry it's been over a hear since I've been on the BP forum :-)) Just like others have said, I would keep making your offers and you will eventually start getting some counters.

Also, if it's in bankruptcy is the property going to be owned by the lien holders if it's not settled.I've been tracking a property adjacent to mine which has been in bankruptcy for 2+ years and will eventually go to the county for a tax sale.

I heard a leak and after some detective work and cutting open the back of my kitchen cabinet I finally have located a few pin holes at the bottom of a kitchen copper drain line.These pin holes unfortunately are impossible to patch in that the cause is corrosion and is almost always caused by tenants or previous owners sending hazardous chemicals like Draino down the line and those chemical sat at the bottom and ate at the line and eventually you get holes.

I know many of you are into buying delinquent and/or re-performing 2nd trust deeds but isn't that eventually going to dry up since there isn't a bank out there that's offered one since 2008?

Make sure you get on the assignment of contract or a JV agreement, and eventually the HUD.

I will probably venture down that way eventually.

Strategically, it also frees up the lessee from eventually having to disposition the real property.

It didn't prevent me from qualifying, but after playing with the numbers for a bit you realize even if you keep acquiring rentals that cash flow, your DTI will keep increasing, eventually pushing you over the acceptable limit.

Soon, I would like to start rehabbing and flipping properties around Frederick, Maryland; with the eventual goal of being involved in buy and hold and producing some passive income for my family.

Many believe we are in a mini-bubble and I'm convinced the market may remain strong or semi-strong (although appreciations will decrease in rate).If/When shadow inventory is finally released (eventually), it may not cause a "flood" to the market which I've heard over and over again.
