I have yet to get an official report, so I'll take a look when I receive that. 

We are still trying to find out the exact rules of the bidding process as the deadline was just announced today.

I have been to a few and officially joined last week. 

The way that it was asked of me sounded like it was a more official document then what they were actually asking for.    

Another guru, Rob Swanson earlier announced in Feb that HUD abandons "flat bidding" and had a new way of selling properties. 

He was trying to purchase it but hard money financing was crazy expensive for him so thought about wholesaling.Long story short we ended up loaning him some money to purchase the house at a good rate and everything documented official, secured loan etc.

Realize a title search isn't data, its researched from the official land records so don't wait until the last minute to order one.

I have now contacted some local newspapers here in Stavanger asking them if they announce foreclosures.

Make Further Significant Acquisition of US Real Estate AssetsJeddah, Saudi Arabia, 25 August 2014 - Alkhabeer Capital, a leading asset management and investment firm based in Saudi Arabia, and authorized by the Capital Market Authority (license number 07074-37), together with its investment partner, USAA Real Estate Company have today announced the acquisition of Lake Pointe Center III and IV.

Based on some of what we have learned through engineers and other meetings with code officials, I suspect the policy may simply pay out the maximum amount and not rebuild the building.
