I also contacted the LA County DA (they owed me a favor) and the Orange County DA.

Most of our properties are located in areas around Almancil, Vale do Lobo and Albufeira, Carvoeiro, Praia da Luz and Lagos.

@Chris Da$230,000 and I would not get a counteroffer and probably would not be able to make another offer on the property.

You da man!

By central I mean cities like Hue, Lang Co, Da Nang, and Hoi An :) Yes, Hoi An is a charming city with a lot of history and ancient architecture. 

Then, I was the second guy the DA put on the stand at the official trial.  

Nice work beautiful house, you da man.

I also subtracted 17,500 in recapture (improvement\27.5 x 16 years x .25) or something as I use da calculator so I hope I did that correctly, 25k in renovations before sale which people forget.

welcome to bidding ATL.... frustrating there.. we did it for about 18 months.. its a zoo.but collusion does happen.. you should follow the address and get a copy of the trustee's deed or sherrifs deed or whatever deed transfers title and see what amount is on it.. if that is published I can't remember if they do that.If you suspect collusion this is an FBI matter.. and far more common than you might think.. the local DA or AG may take it up.. and of course you have the state BAR association if this was a law firm crying the sale... in our area criers are generally process serving companies not lawyers.

@David Da Silva the rent was avg using the 2 beds at $750 and 3 beds at $825 - $850 monthly.
