Try searching "Texas, Options" you'll find some information I'd bet. :)

If you look at the price per square foot of REO (not short sale) versus traditional there's very little discount when homes are in relatively similar condition.

Jerry;Nice idea...i actually do something similar with the tax redemption notices in Ga.I look the properties up from the sale lists and reference them against county records online, it really doesn't take that long.For me, the foreclosure thing wouldn't be a ongoing thing, maybe a few months, i was just curious to see what the properties in these particular counties were going for vs. being sold off MLS listings, and i'm betting the difference is huge.If one has inside knowledge of the property from prior owner, neighbors, etc, it would be a way to get great discounts.

Also in the rust belt where jobs and city growth are minimal. around toledo college is your best bet.

Even if you factor in the time I'd spend on the new project and the fact that I needed to hire painters for the original job, I'd still be clearing at least $200/hour for focusing my efforts on finding a new project versus painting a house.In reality though, I'd rather be spending those extra hours with my family, which is certainly worth more than anything I could be spending my time doing in this business.

I feel for you man, for one thing, you own a mobile home, I'm sorry about that (LOL), next, you're probably up a tree, just betting there isn't a mortgage originator in Crossett, Ar. outside of a bank that can probably touch a seller financed deal, much less know what to do with it.How much you want for it?
