In addition, the point of this topic is that the bank goes into the deal betting on foreclosure?  

@Patrick Philip I'd bet you would be hard pressed to spend $150-200 to fill up the average refrigerator.  

That would be my best bet. 

In fact, I bet some of my tenants only bathe once a week!!!

Unless if you think this other property would sweeten your investing portfolio, it doesn't make sense to put the second one under contract just to get ride of the squatters.I bet you could even get the township to remove the bees - I had a hive removed from a tree because of the "menace"Sorry for some of the bee puns in my post......

They look to have betted that its value after 2009 would start climbing back at a faster rate than the amount they were actually out of pocket since 2006.

I have no experience investing in NYC but I think your best bet to get into real estate investing in an expensive market would be looking to do an FHA loan.

For my tenants I require tenant liability, but I never bet on it being in-force at the time of claim.  

If you click "county website" it'll take you to:From there, click on "e-PropTax" to get to here:I don't normally see a "Secured Supplemental" -- I'm betting there was a tax lien from the owners who were foreclosed on before the house was flipped.  

hey there,I don't hold or manage anything in Kent, but south king county multifamily is a pretty safe bet, at least for the time.
