I have been contacted by many people claiming to be able to get me business lines of credit or unsecured lines of credit for a fee and most of the time this fee is 10% of the line or $10k...Already in debt and not into a flip lol The other way I can secure a line of credit is to have a company get me different credit cards and liquidate them down to cash, which basically destroys credit and when APR being different on card, this could spell huge bills?

Also there's the possibility of being offered a (questionably legal) "finders fee" for locating the owner of a blighted/abandoned property and securing a deal for an institutional/established investor.So the above commenters are right!

It was listed at 88k and I knew it would go into a bidding war.It's a 4 bed, 2 bath on a huge plot of land, right on the border, next to the very, very expensive area.Now to the part about getting lucky.

I just feel it is a security issue for them leaving doors unlocked and the garage door open. 

Hi there everyone, i am Toronto Ontario, very new to this great and amazing web site BP just wondering if someone knows a lawyer and an accountant in BP community or other web site who is experience in cross border accounting, taxation and setting up entities for Canadian to buy US properties. 

Of these, 1,834,588 (56 percent) are on residential properties that are seriously underwater, meaning the combined loan to value ratio of all outstanding loans secured by the property is 125 percent or higher. 

Did you get the security deposit transferred to you at closing?

Note: when i say charge, it means deducting the security deposit.James and Shanti

If you rub elbows with council and do a bit of research to secure some grants you will likely be able to purchase those properties for next to nothing.

You get the calls, which is always positive to have interest in your property.Also, be aware you are advertising a vacant property with a sign, meaning that there may be security issues, depending on the neighborhood or how much crime an area has.
