Greetings all,So my question is if there any resources you would recommend for someone who is interested in assisting homeowners recapture the excess funds from a sheriff sale when bidders pay far more than what's owed.I notice this in certain areas and wanted to know if there was a standard approach to get the previous homeowner their funds from the state for a portion of the funds you can reclaim for them.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.Found a lot of good resources (such as 'Handyman Matters') for handling my real estate investments. 

So far it seems to be a great resource and again thank you for all the responses.Matthew

For example, we can be especially bad with buying cheap books and leaving them everywhere...so we try to use resources like the library more often or we'll donate our excess.

If you ever have any questions these forums are a great resource.

Obviously, that requires you to have the financial resources to actually close on the property.
