Just kiddin'.Anyone going through foreclosure has several things going on: 1) They are under a lot of stress, 2) Everybody is mailing to them and knocking on their door, 3) They are embarrassed, 4) They feel helpless, 5) They have the belief that winning the lotto will bail them out at the last minute, 6) It's the bank's fault, 7) This can't be happening to them, 8) They don't want to sell, 9) The house (even though it has a leaky roof and hasn't been kept up) is worth more than market price, 10) Believe you are there to take advantage of them, 11) Believe the government should do more to protect them, 12) Believe that their payments reduce the principal directly proportionate to their payment (Have no concept of compound interest, what Einstein called "the 8th wonder of the world"). 13) They can file a Chapt 13 bankruptcy at the last minute and keep the house if they have income, 14) They will wait until the day before the sale and call you if none of the other solutions work.Your opening comment should be " I buy houses in the area and I was wondering if you or someone you know might be interested in selling".

I would call your local sherrif or PD, and ask them what your rights are as a property owner for an abandoned car... get that info... then you can maybe ask about the foreclosure angle... or ask the county office who handles foreclosures.

Wanting to know if anyone knows of a way to reduce ownership % in condo complex.  

Our PM handles this transition for us.

I handle a lot of the evaluation and how much the property is worth and what is the max we can offer.

Should I handle the situation myself out of pocket, or tell him he is going to have to wait?

Re-submit same offer as before as best and final, attach personal message about yourself and company discussing what you do in the area/how you intend to handle this home.

Just go straight to foreclosure, if they want to work it out they will come to you, trust me.Pretty much at this point your attorney will handle everything for you and guide you, thats what they get paid for. 

If you can handle it, great! 

Does anyone have any idea how to go about handling this if I want to proceed with an offer on it?
