Now obviously there are other factors that impacted those outcomes but all the houses were remodeled very well, with new flooring, paint, appliances etc.

Interesting... when loans are sold to the secondary market, but the original lender continues to service the loan, does the original lender get a service fee?

Floors, updated kitchen, bathroom, paint, etc.

Hi Kenneth, I own LIV Indy, which is a full service brokerage serving investor clients.

In CA I can email title company day of the sherif sale and within two hours I’ll get the clear to close title very or detail title report..... i am finding it very difficult here on the east coast  when I was an active buyer of courthouse steps our title company kept a running spread sheet of every NOD in the 3 county area and updated it daily for us.. then we call customer service morning of and they do a date down for us on the phone..  

My intention was to pass on the loan servicing fee to the borrower.

By picking the right property and making sure it is in excellent condition when you put it in service you reduce the likelihood of these issues. 

With flooded homes do I need permits, inspections, etc or would just replacing the damaged dry wall, and flooring (fixing the damages) work?

Also check out build.com and overstock.com Build.com has great customer service and will try to beat Lowe’s or Home Depot on prices.
