I have another concern, and that is that I'm not on the prelimary HUD anywhere.

As far as the court house is concerned do I just go there ask for the most recent defaults or foreclosures I've heard they read off the foreclosures and you have the option to buy them but, if you have you haven't seen the property how do you set up a contingency to ensure your not getting a raw deal.

That alone caused me to further research, as it is totally misleading.

You might think that you've got a great tenant because they paid on time - but when they move you find all the damage they might have caused.

Run AVGAdaware andSpybotIf ewido is causing a problem just get rid of it I'm trying to get everybody to never goto Firedog or Geeksquad ever again..that's my quest:rock:

If it is farther down the line, or in the basement at a floordrain, then it would be hard for him to prove you caused it.

My concern is why the owner wants out?

Not to be pessimistic, but this could cause a whole bunch of new unwanted attention.

Mike, The paver idea sounds great, the only thing i would be concerned with is settling of the bad concrete job.
