Many of us have had our main homes lose equity over a short period of time (some right after purchase) and as long as you are staying put, it really doesn't matter.

Hi guys,I showed a property to a client that was apparently in the redemption period of a foreclosure.

Or just staying out of the market for a period while trends emerge.John Corey

There is not enough info to provide a useful response.If I put nothing into the deal and hold for a period where the value is rising then my returns are infinite.

-Second concern is how to efficiently market the property without a realtor in an effort to emit fee?

For this we obtain multiple bids, compare and make recommendations, coordinate the efforts, oversee the actual work on site (periodically checking progress, documenting with photos, making decisions and change orders when necessary), inspecting and documenting the finished job, reviewing punch list items and authorizing final payment.OTOH, if you are talking about a LARGE project, or development type work...I have no idea!

If you want to make sure your safe put a 5 day inspection period in the special stipulations section of the contract giving you to terminate if you inspect the property and find it unstatisfactory.Again these are my views from Georgia.

Figure out what notices the state requires.Once the notice period is up then you can enter.

Assuming you have inspection contigencies, you may conduct your inspections within this period.9b.

They like to see a time period of ownership more than a few months or days for this matter.
