As an out-of-state investor, I wouldn't touch it.That said, if you live there and know the area I am aware of people who are making money by investing in the few pockets of Detroit that are doing well.

Stay in touch!

What are the steps to needed to get in touch with the owner and what paper work is needed to get the ball rolling.

Frogive me if this has already been touched upon in a similar forum, but perhaps someone out there has some good insight...The REOs are just piling up out here in Southern California and the asset managers have a clear mandate to go no less than 90% of asking price (which keep getting lower all the time any way), so some deals seem to be 80 cent deals.

there arent very many areas in this town that I can think of going for even 50k and the ones that are, I wouldnt even touch my brakes goin through sorry about your deal though that really sucks

Having not lived in MD but Rio Grande , TX, so Cal, and Casa grande, AZ, I'm in pretty good touch with the situation.The facts are the facts- How many illegals are in the U.S.?

I just wanted to touch on what Ned said earlier.

Aly we don’t take over our calendar until January 1 but I am already having trouble getting in touch with a cleaning company! 

I keep in touch but if they show no interest in improving their situation, I drop them.

If you were in Lake Oswego Oregon you would need a city permit. and if they deemed the tree significant you could not touch it.really depends on the city and or county ordinances. check with your local planning department they will tell you if they have any jurisdiction.
