Assessors and recorders have their own way of looking at the world (or, at least their county.)

I'm hoping the people here can give me some advice, motivation and the courage to finally get myself into the "Real World" of Real Estate.

But recently I have no desire to play anymore and I have been devoting all my time into investing/finance.. which is what brought me into the world of REI.

Good Luck in the REO world, it is crazy...I was working for Gary Kent out of La Jolla for a while in his REO dept. and learned a lot regarding REOs and for my short saling business.

I have yet to see the government come in a run any business better than the business world, other than MAYBE the military.

I offer this:I am one of the top rated instructors for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), which is the largest building industry related association in the world.

An investor would have to be making that mortgage payment, and many of those other expenses, for those many months with no income.The current owners must be in a world of hurt.

That's pretty hard to comprehend seeing that anything over 80% needs to be insured and usually not available at 95% on a non-owner occupied property, that will be a first in about 30 years.Where in the world did you get that loan?

Hello BP World!

What a strange world this is!
