@Malcolm KrugerOffer these consumers a free in home consultation where you go through all foreclosure avoidance options with them.

There are way too many consumer protection laws that you can run afoul of.

So, lets say you partner with the seller and put in $50k and have a iron clad contract. 

As a consumer, you have a broad landscape of options... make some calls, do your research and find the best fit for you.But don't forget to ask questions about things besides the loan terms... the process, the ability to collaborate with you and your realtor, answer your questions, guide you through the choices you'll need to make, close in a timely manner... all of these things matter too!

Fund ContributionBy now you’ve made it past the most time-consuming steps.

Any consumer would feel a little cheated.

There is probably old wiring, cast iron plumbing, clay sewer lines and on and on.

I placed four of them on the exterior of a 1,400 sq.ft. home and I set a couple glue traps inside the home. 75% of the poison was consumed in a couple weeks.

Then you're paying for utilities, WiFi, landscaping, consumables, lodging tax, city/state fees, and more.
