Where in Michigan?

Since you're doing for nothing and waiting for any fee a fee of 2 or 3 K might be inline.The city is also fighting the appointment of the emergency manager that was appointed, that's another issue.I'm not familiar with MI foreclosure laws, but it seems strange to be that a foreclosure could get an eviction without the bank taking possession, if anyone knows, please explain!

Marie Poe:Why are you holding their hand?

Emily,Agents aren't just lazy in SoCal they are lazy in Michigan too.

Marie Poe:David: Wouldn't you just enter into some kind of partnership agreement?

Marie Poe how do you ensure that the "buyer" won't let themselves in and help themselves to some copper in the house, etc.

Privacy these days is not as much as you think.In MI anyway it is all public knowledege.

Marie Poe.MLS is easy search, because I'm not using other marketing techniques...If MLS completely dries up, I will get more creative...lots of CA investors buying in my area also
