I have drop you an email and would like to start from there.

Foreclosure takes 7 years to drop off your credit report, so the longer it is the smaller the payoff.  

I'm thinking you will have to wait for it to be listed and then probably wait until they drop the price to somewhere close to what you consider a good deal.

This just dropped into my inbox from RealtyTrac.

I wouldn't mind being colleagues with anyone in the Charlotte Metro area, so drop me a request if you are interested. 

The taxes drop off by a couple thousand and there is much more inventory.

Next search out the best deal, have some of us here on BP analyze it with you based on your goals and skill set. then Pull the pin. its quite simple. i would say the most important thing is to get your money figured out, how much you want to spend, how much you have to spend, and if your borrowing, from who, and what the best terms are. one of the best exercises i do is prepare a "Personal Financial Statement" it helps you understand your Net Worth, its kinda like your report card for a banker, it shows how responsible you are with money, regardless of your income.  

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I am a full time rehabber in Southern California where we do 20+ projects a year.  

The deal obviously fell apart and at this point we dropped contact for a couple of months due to us moving on the 14 unit linked above.We now were short on cash as we were updating the 14 unit which we decided to renovate rather than start cash flowing right away (another post).

My dad then hired him to finish the basement w/ carpet, drop ceiling, build a bathroom (plumbing rough-in was existing) and bedroom.
