Example: we sell 5/8 of our points on line auctions, which leaves us a little profit to go over vacation maybe twice a year.Regardless, we always perform or require a title search before closingon timeshare purchases

Sorry, I don't believe you -- I'd bet that you're either making up numbers or don't understand how your business is taxed.

However, even if they were taken by an OO buyer I still made offers on them anyway betting that some of them wouldn't close and FNMA would come back to me as a back up offer.

I hope those files are on line but if not try calling a county court for location of probate files and get over there.

Karen will come back, they do developments and I'll bet the paid thier dues over time to get where they are....to this point.I'd say work with one, not many write books on the subject that take in all kinds of developments in various parts of the country.Spend 10 years at it and you could be pulling down some great money for another 20 years, may be longer!

We also have online property records so I regularly do a search for properties taken over by the city.

The market will be stronger over the next few years as it takes time for the big reits and developers to get new units online to fill this demand.

Or how do you find the listing agent for listings you see online?

I think I belong to the group online too.

Also contact a broker that sells large apt buildings by going online and looking for those that are for sale and take broker out to lunch and ask them if they would like to have you as a back up plan to any management problems there company cannot solve!
