All I can tell online is that the judicial foreclosure sale are blighted properties that only have a 60 day redemption period and afterward the purchaser gets free and clear title vs. 12 month redemption for non-judicial sale.Thanks!

It's also free and considering how much other programs are charging, this is a huge plus. 

It all depends on the circumstances as to how much.2) Even then, tenants in Los Angeles have free legal services.

Imagine agreeing to have a large EMD sit for 2 years in an interest-free account just because the other party is an a**hole and consider that everything is negotiable. 

@Sarah MazeIf you're trying to decide whether to keep your California property as a rental or sell it for tax-free equity, there are a few things to think about.

The fha 100 mile rule will be triggered whenever you try to vacate your current primary and also trying to use the rental income to qualify.However, this 100 mile rule can be exempted for the following rulesRelocationIncrease in family sizeVacating a joint owned propertyNon-occupying co-borrowerIf you are not trying to use FHA on your 2nd househack, you can use conventional and the rules that I mentioned above will not be a concern.

My goal: create an interest-free loan which is appealing to a potential homebuyer, yet doesn't make too big of a discount on my end.For example: If I sold my $300,000 house with 20% down ($60,000) over 30 years, at 6.7% interest rate: $1548.67 principal and interest per month1548.67 x 12 x 30 = $557,521.20What I would do would offer a lower monthly payment and no usury, but it would effectively be like a prepayment penalty.Arbitrarily, let's say 20% off the monthly payment, or $309.73 less per month: $1238.94 monthly payment.House would be sold at $446,018.40, which is $111,502.8 less than the total paid with a normal mortgage, but $116,018 more than the market price.

I’ve had this itch to get into real estate for a long time, but everytime I start to dip my toes in I get the feeling that with prices/rates where there at it’s hard to justify pulling money from risk free 5.5% ?

I would be inclined to do it for free if she’s your friend. i would be scared she had no plan to pay for the rehab when she purchased.How much money we we walking about?

Not to me.I see the care free go lucky hippie types that just chill all week.
