M Ness,I do NOT give the keys to the tenant, until they provide me with proof that the Utilities are in their name.

You could do the "cash for keys" deal -- meaning pay them to leave.

If you fill out your key word alert (right below notifications) and put your town, types of property you're interested in etc., you will get alerts when those subjects are posted on forum.

I know people who have placed dozens (if not hundreds) of bids per day on HUD properties, so I don't believe there are any limits.That said, I was talking to a friend of mine just yesterday who said he believes that HUD will no longer his offers on properties that he hasn't physically seen (he's a licensed agent and HUD uses electronic keys for all their properties around here).
