I've looked at the official public records in Travis and Bastrop counties, but can't find any NODs.

Just switch.If you want to find out what the place sold for pull the records in a few months.

The idea of hooking up with this other guy was to better handle the leftovers.The broker evaluates the borrower's credit and track record, gets the appraisal done and does all the paperwork with the title company.

There are also legal issues in that certain changes to a loan could trigger a chance in the liens position (some modifications are in effect treated as a new loan so the recording date moves).The trusts who are holding paper that has lost significant value (mark to market pricing) will be only too willing to agree changes in the trust provisions if the change will significantly improve the value of the asset.

Just for the record, I asked the question and I did not call any one a scam.

They're great and my only problem is that you cannot record conference calls, which is silly considering it's all digital VOIP happening anyhow.

They want to/plan to trespass and do the repairs, which include AFAIK pool work, gate repair, weeding, and bill him.I'm on record as voting against trespassing, I want them to turn it over to the city.

Are you recording your options when you 'buy'?

She's been great, organizing, clarifying, negotiating, researching, advising.

I'm a complete newbie, and doing my research..I decided to look on the web at tax records for some of the house I found on Realtytrac.
