There is no doubt that Clinton's actions (or lack of them) caused the BIG money to be spent out of necessity, the only thing that this Bush could not do was to convince the world to give us some monetary assistance on what we had to do, like his father was able to do previously.

If the deed of trust or mortgage contains a power of sale clause and specifies the time, place and terms of sale, then the specified procedure must be followed.If your trust deed does not include a power of sale clause (this is doubtful as they all do nowdays) then the rest of what you said applies.

Can you purchase the house at a price such that you can afford to improve it quality enough so that it will demand enough to return to you to value of your improvements over time as a rental following the 50% rule or as an immediate sale following the wholesaling guidelines.There can be no doubt that your stock buddies have made some money, but have lost a whole lot on paper as well with the recent downturn there plus they must factor in the stock commission fees on both ends, where in RE those fees you can choose to accept or have the buyer or seller pay.

I doubt he has the money himself to rent the whole place.
