There are so many problems that can develop that you are not prepared for.

Indeed, from a revenue standpoint.

Why not wait a year and see what develops?

Agents, developers, fix and flippers, wholesalers, bird dogs, etc., all get paid for doing transactions.

I agree that the value doesn't appear to be there when silver was at $7 just 10 years ago, but it's also difficult to ignore the spending by the administration and the answer to the American and European debt appears to be print more or raise revenue, instead of cutting spending.

I would agree that lenders and brokers that are deceptively using upfront fees (i.e. charged independent of closing) as a primary source of revenue and turning down loans even when lenders estimates are consistent with information submitted by the borrower prior to taking the fee, are acting unethically and should be fined and/or prosecuted for deceptive business practices etc.This post is only my personal opinion.

Hi John,To start….I am the Developer member of a HOA Board as well as a Planning Commissioner for our city.

Only people who make money on timeshares are the sellers and developers.

The area was being re-developed prior to the downturn with developers buying tracts and scraping the buildings to put in the townhome complexes.

I have no idea what’s better for you, nor how you will approach these people, how effective your marketing is, etc.Your objective is to develop a target list of properties owned by deceased persons.
