You will find a lot of info on DHCD's website in terms of the mediation:http://mdhope.dhcd.maryland.gov/ForeclosureMediation/Pages/default.aspxI never wouldnt give up.

In turn (if it's at all legal for me to assume a modified loan, I will rent it out at the rates listed above.Regarding the back taxes the bank has paid her back taxes I believe 2 years ago as the home was in risk of going to "tax sale" (I've already verified this on the Los Angeles County Property Assessor website).

One more note to add, REPUTATION is EVERYTHING!!!

A lil background on me - I've been doing websites for over a decade, got burned out, so am not pursuing it hardcore like I have been, so have been doing something else I've been enjoying, and that is buying/selling collectibles.

I've been looking at a sample rental contract that I found on this website (though, oddly enough, I can't find that page right now...).

If there are specific websites you use to find where you want to invest I would love to hear about itThanks in advance

If you know can handle these basics and have a reputable title company to work with, you can keep your expenses down while covering your bases.

However, that will put me above the 4 loans that most lenders will finance.I saw on another BP thread that someone suggested checking out New Penn Financial since - according to their website - they have a real estate investor loan program which allows you to finance up to 20 properties.

So there are tons of websites that claim they are the best list.

Most of the agencies have horrible yelp reviews and worse reputations; they are known for giving landlords BS background checks and not being good partners.
