They pleasantly were willing to fill out any applications I have.

Are banks using a different foreclosure strategy to not shock the market into a downturn?

These few streets (maybe 50 properties) though are by far the worst in a five mile radius.I do a fair amount of direct mail marketing and have had a pretty shocking amount of calls from people in this neighborhood when they get the flyers. 

I understood, but was shocked  and appalled at that mentality. 

I'm shocked that nothing has been done until now.I would say to start and official association would be a good start but at the same time.

I appreciate all of the responses and am pleasantly surprised by the number of comments.  

I have used 3 or 4 title companies here in Nashville for my wholesale business and Jennifer has been the most pleasant!

The HUD analysis that is provided prior to engaging the lender ought to cover that point, but there can be some sticker shock when you think you're getting X, but in reality, it is X + Y, and Y can be as much as an extra 1.75% to the initial rate.However, that is not an an issue on a refinance as almost all of the costs associated with a HUD loan are mortgageable.

Check out other rentals in the area, I was absolutely shocked when I finished my first property and then saw what my "competition" was.

To my surprise she was very professional and pleasant to talk.
