I don't know for sure, but I have a sense that it helps to submit an offer where you think the offer needs to be, even if you know they're going to reject it because at least it represents real market feedback to the REO asset manager.

I work at a boutique PR firm that represents local real estate development companies.

While you may have had an agreement in writing your representatives allowed them to move out. 

My wife and I have always been into real estate buying and renovating personal property as well as doing some house hacking, now we are looking to dive a little deeper and start exploring investing into SFH's and particularly the BRRR approach.Glad to see Canada is represented here, the market feels a little different up here. 

Hello all,I am new to the BP forums but have been a landlord for about 10-yr (former primary residence turned rental) and need a referral to a very competent, aggressive and experienced attorney to represent our interest as the homeowner against our HOA.I won't post our entire sob story, however, the HOA is liable for interior water damage and associated collateral damages to our town home due to neglect in maintaining the roof.

As a legal entity you could not represent the HOA only an attorney could. 

I have a colleague I've known many years who has a number of defaulted California 2nd trust deeds Fact is they were cash out 2nd mortgages on investment properties,,they turned into bad deals ,borrowers went thru foreclosure but have not declared Bankruptcy.These are California properties .Some of the Notes are 9 years oldI have been pursuing Judgment Enforcement for the last 6 months with moderate success In a word ,Id like to help my friend collect on these 2nds that went South Its my understanding I can pursue them as a collection and if that fails ,hire an attorney and create a deficiency judgment ,At that point I can request an Assignment of Judgment,represent myself in court and collect on the debt Is that accurate? 

The Selling broker (ERIC HALVERSON) did not disclose to the Listing broker (RUFUS AKRIDGE) that he is representing the Buyer as a Client, and it has been a long standing policy (over 20 years) of AKRIDGE REALTY, INC., that if a selling broker who is representing a buyer as Client and not a member of Mid GA MLS, will not shall in the Listing (or sale commission) Commission, the selling broker will have to be paid by the buyer his client.

If it is owned 'free and clear' then you have a large asset that an attorney representing someone would be happy to sue you over.I personally like the advice of @Scott Smith (Bigger Pockets Podcast Show 109) when he recommends utilizing 3 LLCs.  1 as an operating company doing all the paperwork (leases, etc.), 1 to hold your buy & hold properties, and 1 to hold any flips that you do.  

Now, what I can't get my head around, is whether or not these trends represent a "bubble".
