In the past I assumed that it wasn't worth it to go after a debt after eviction because of the very slim chance I actually collect anything.I had not considered that there would be services that would only charge a % of the recovered amount.

If you can commit to a great agent, chances are he will commit to you and the next time a smoking deal comes across his desk, you'll be the first to be notified.

This is an improvement compared to the prices we saw in April 2006 when these two markets were 90% and 62% overpriced.

So, if you have a qualified buyer you have a much higher chance of making a deal happen.

If that is the case my honest answer to you is going to be keep trying but the chances are slim.

On a side note, shouldn't we see some crazy community improvements as a result of the unexpected tax revenues throughout the early 2000s?

my advice is be polite to them and try to work with them to leave the place clean. tell them you would like them to leave ASAP and leave it in good condition.obviously you can 'go after them' all you want, but what are you going to get other than their first born. understand that you can huff and puff all you want and threaten to sue if they don't do this and they don't do that, but that won't motivate them if they have nothing to lose. if i were you, my goal would be to be as nice as possible to raise your chances of getting that place back as clean as possible.

Someone lent Roy money for a return knowing there was a chance he would default.

FAT CHANCE!

If so, the vacant units are going to stay vacant for a while, and put more pressure on the HOAs.I seriously doubt you're going to miss the "chance of a lifetime" by passing on this unit.
