I was looking at the awards and noticed that we've got quite a few people that are official BiggerPockets Addicts . . . great!

More people died in the name of religion then from any combination of diseases, and it was in this realisation that globally in 2039, religion was officially declared an "infectuous mental disorder" and a cure was sought.2050====The Only treatment was determined to be isolation, so a dome was created over Australia and all religious zealots were relocated there and the dome was locked for what was to be 1000 years, at which time, the doors would be opened, and the world would find out who won.3050====The doors were never re-openned, no one cared ..Mankind was saved!

My Favorites:WACHOVIA-Only ask for authorization, Purchase Contract, HUD1, and Proof of funds.

Have the owner sign an authorization to release so you can talk with the banks.4.

That statement "You must own it for at least 3 years before you can get a full Deed for a Title" sounds like there's either some redemption period, or there's some requirement that you have to have possession for three years to fully own it.What taxing authority gives a quit claim?

The "official" rate is 2% from each, but in reality this is discounted down to 1% or less.

I have my eye on several ugly, dirty, beaten-down houses (some vacant) that are not officially for sale, but I seem to be stuck as to what my initial contact with the owners should be.On past houses, I've mailed the owners a letter saying that I was interested in purchasing their house, but any time I'd get a response they'd ask, "How much are you gonna pay me for my house?"

Yeah, we are officially signed up for the bootcamp next weekend.

You can try to contact them but from my experience they won't talk to you with authorization from the homeowner.Brian Haskins

You may be able to find some information from the county official who handles these sales.
