I doubt the Dallas area would be really consumer friendly, but these matters are federal law, seeing an attorney is the best course of action if she really was a victim of predatory dealings.I'd suggest you have an attorney review the contract as to her ownership interests and rights.

I'm an investor/realtor in Pensacola FL and I've been working with a few investors that buy HUD homes and now that I'm an agent I had to learn the process from the inside as well.How I understand it is that a big benefit of buying from HUD is that they have ironed out all the legal issues with the title before they sell it.

Sorry, I know this is a long one but its a great method but need help ironing out the kinks - thanks!!

I have been consuming as much information from BP as possible since I found it a few weeks ago.

Since then, I've been consuming investing material and listened to almost every single podcast on BP and am reading "Investing in Real Estate" by Gary Eldred.

I, as a listing agent, wouldn't go through the exercise of trying to iron out these kinds of details with someone who hadn't even seen the property either, and I certainly wouldn't set a meeting with an attorney and buyer at this point.

(Ironically, I used to live in Omaha and am pretty familiar with the area - nice city!).
