The small amount of money I gave them made it worth their time to help me out, and they also had the opportunity to be on my short list of contractors I knew when I finally bought that first one.Ultimately, one of those contractors ended up being my main GC, and has helped me on many projects since.

Once the auction is over, they take the winning bid (offer) to the lender and seek final approval.

I will get the enjoyment from living in it and will get the benefit of not having to pay taxes on the profits that go into my second house when I do finally sell.I have been scouring the foreclosure listings every week, but am kind of stuck as to what exactly I should be looking for.

This could arguably be "disguising" things too since that letter should make its way to a separate department.I also agree with the comments on that thread claiming that sub-to should be a short to mid term acquisition strategy.

Because of that, they typically require at least 20% down, and it can be higher.If you are looking at a pre-construction property (which there are many of these days), then the deposit is usually due in stages with the final payment coming when the project is completed.There are advantages to getting in on the preconstruction phase, and that is usually when you will get a best price compared to completion, however, you really need to make sure you do your research on the developer and property to make sure they have the resources and track history to complete and manage the project.A contact with Starwood Development recently told me know that they have a number of projects under way right now in North America including Seattle, Scottsdale and Wailea to name a few.

Or even using video to record new acquisitions or property for sale?

I have been on the Acquisition end for the last 4 years, BUT since the turn of the market, I've turned my attention to Buyer Agency.

And most people are “ignorantly” willing to give them their lives.The point I’m going to make finally here is that EMOTION is the #1 driving force of the highs and the lows in this market.

Apparently the bank finally woke up and paid up the taxes sometime Friday.

During this stage, homeowners don't want to believe that prices will drop and try to wait it out. 2) Prices drop as people finally realize that the market isn't turning around anytime soon.
