I know the owner and will be a regular speaker at her club.

By the way there is no subprime mess and no real estate bubble here so banks make regular loans and properties go up on average 8% a year (18% in my area for the past three years!)

I updated my profile and am including the blurb about myself below.My name is Ken, and I was formerly involved in residential real estate sales, part REALTOR and part assistant to another REALTOR.

If you are relatively new, I would strongly urge you to attend a number of Sales first, observe which Investors are bidding (they are usually regulars with Cash or Credit-Lines), evaluate the properties that are being advertised and sold, including the figures (numbers), then determine if you are ready to play with the players.

It may be that the city hasn't updated the taxes in decades or that their valuations are off.

Despite the fact it's in good condition, it could use some updating and TLC.The home can be purchased for $349,900, and the seller will do a wrap on his existing first mortgage.

Yes...I try to post the offer regularly.

Instead I write seasonal articles and save them for when they're useful- I recently wrote something about halloween - I won't be able to use it for a couple of months, but it's there ready :)I envy people with the discipline to write on a regular basis.

Also plan on doing some updating to it.

I'll update with a link to our civil suit as soon as it's filed.
