the house has a bunch of equity, being worth about 750k when fixed up.I  know that on a standard convenetional mortagage foreclosure, there usually additional fees such as unpaid interest, attorney fees etc, apart of the princiapl balance.Is there a way to conservatively assess what will be the actuall "Pay-off" on the 1st?

Reply back was that would work, we raised the interest rate slightly and I paid for the attorney fee to update the note, which was only a few hundred dollars.Just a thought!

Well, alone until I found this site. 

For me, the only interest in going to the same place over and over is to own the place.

Interesting...I remember seeing something similar not tool long ago but it was about CA from all the wild fires.  

That being said, I'm getting a lot of inquiries from unseasoned investors about the "flood" (pun intended) of new opportunities on Florida's West Coast.

I am no attoryney, but I have gone down this path a few times.

The common theme from this is definitely last minute fees.
