@Vladimir Gonzalez I'm not the one who's opposed to the term "helping" someone in foreclosure, the Feds are. 

I'm at the point where I'm so fed up, I'm considering just getting my license so I can have direct access to the MLS and put in my own few offers every week.The biggest issues I have faced with realtors I have worked with:- Don't answer phone or get back to me- Take DAYS to put in an offer for me- Don't answer questions/provide property informationALL that said, I'm not ignorant to the fact that I have probably annoyed an agent or two.

Explain the situation, offer to cut the grass and make dinner once a week in return for sleeping on the couch and sharing utilities. 

You get more and more oil stains, trash and/or grass in the landscape rock, more vehicles that never move, window heat shields made of newspaper or aluminum foil.

Interest payments to lender, cutting the grass, utilities, property taxes, insurance (higher on flips since the house is vacant), etc. 

If you can cover them with 1-2 inches of soil that is enough to grow grass.

Grass and snow are usually landlord responsibility.

To pretty much everyone here, a lead is someone that wants to, needs to, or has to sell their house.To most, a lead is someone in some sort of distress, like foreclosure, absentee owner, probate, inherited a home.To most a lead is when they see a house with tall grass, boarded up windows and notices on the doors. 

Yes, even the person you hire to cut the grass should have work mans comp insurance.

We then swoop in and pick up a gem of a property at bargain basement prices, just because of that fed up feeling you have right now.
