We're looking into camera options to monitor vacant properties being advertised for rent. 

Timeline ranges from 22 days in Texas to almost 12 months in some other states. ” The borrower could file bankruptcy (can someone confirm that this will only cause delay, but not jeopardize ultimately collecting the legal balance of the note)”I wish I can confirm that, but it isn’t true.  

Quote from @Emily Poerio: Hello - I am new to REI and getting ready to close on my first set of properties.

Looking to get into flipping projects preferably in the western suburbs

Welcome to BP!

Thanks. because existing is super messy and lower returns for general contractors and HIC, I'd recommend looking at new construction too. start to finish 120 days right now on 1-3 family is what our market is going for high volume spec homes that have been built before. 

If you are looking to just obtain the 25% redemption rate set by the state for properties that are limited to 6 month redemptions.

As a custom builder for decades, I dealt with this way more than once, especially with new subs that had not worked for me before.Back in the old days we used to just go with a verbal ok, but in the last 20 years or so, it is imperative to have a written CO (even an email sent from the jobsite) from the Sub and then I would add 20-25% and submit a CO of my own to the customer.
