If it's on hubzu, it's an REO (the foreclosure auction has already occurred).  

Also, if the agent was on the ball he would have known precisely how far along the foreclosure was  and certainly when the sale date was going to occur since I'm sure there's at least a 30 day notice of the sale, particularly knowing the loan was in default already.

At the very least, even if no prohibited transactions occur, your flexibility will be limited when partnering with your retirement funds as care must be taken not to violate any of the rules (self-dealing, transfer of ownership between partners, enabling, etc.)

I expect that they would normally need a very good reason to appraise it differently than the actual purchase price that just occurred, if the house is in basically the same condition.That's ONE reason why Lenders have a seasoning period requirement, before granting refinancing.

I would do this all NOW when house is vacant and NO damage has occurred . 

After catching up with an old friend (and Pro member here) I realized how short sighted I was being and have so much at my disposal to work with in terms of income from my day job and leverage available to me.I'm an extremely methodical person which has a tendency to create analysis paralysis but plan on spending the better part of this year putting a solid plan together for my next deal to occur in 2017.

If the decision is about a contract to be performed in Alabama (such as a lease) or land located in Alabama, or a tortious or negligent act that occurred in Alabama, then Alabama law will be used.If your entity is organized is some other state, you must register as a foreign corporation in Alabama.

After a car accident put me out of work for an extended period, I shifted careers to Insurance.

So I am looking in New York and it occurred to me that it is obviously helpful when contacting existing owners to already know generally what the story is worth regard to any possible liens on the property.  

I only started working probates by accident around 1990 as this is where the equity was in a declining market (then).
