When they contacted me prior to learning of this forum, I just assumed they were straight up scam artists.

We pay a set rate per snowfall per property.Our snow removal service comes prior to dawn to "punch" a hole into the drive/parking lot, and clear walkways, to enable tenants to get out for work.  

Despite our prices went down in 2008, they are already back up over 50% and turnkeys sell in weeks in most areas.I have seen some California investors purchasing SFRs rentals out of state in the $120k-$160k range, just to learn the seller, who was also an investor, had just purchased the house a few weeks prior for half price and, judging from the old online photos, the rehab was just paint and carpet.

It was the "wild west" before we established a parking policy, contracted with a towing company, put up lawful signage, and took responsibility to enforce our parking policy.

@Anthony Newbold Not so much they want you to, its something that they recommend you do - Form HUD-92564-CN so perhaps wrong use of words on my part.I tried to wave the inspection on one property (prior knowledge of this property) and HUD still wanted the 10 day inspection period.

If you are not aware, there are alternative flood policies available for multi family/commercial buildings that are not available to SFR.  

It makes a difference if he was your friend prior to this or if he was a complete stranger.

(You may have to read between the lines on the answers you receive)A large expense to a condo association is the master insurance policy.

Just wanting to warn everyone about possible issues with using the provided title services associated with a Hubzu auction property.This is what happened to me on a recent transaction on a fix and flip property that I bought in Northern Kentucky just outside Cincinnati.Hubzu’s contract states, basically, that if the buyer uses their designated title agency (Premium Title / Altisource) for title work and closing then the seller will pay the closing fees and owners title policy.
