A lot of voice is given to the "don't bet on appreciation" idea here on BP, and I think 95% of the time that's good advice.

Has anyone had experience with online bidding for a property?

I'm out of state and wondered was this true if so were there online options??

It might be cheaper than arguing and paying the attorney additional fees, holding up settlement and fighting over it.I'll bet the contract and norm is to transfer marketable title, insured title, unless stipulated in the contract, if this is a last minute issue I'd guess it's just the attorney, seeing if he can get away with it in representing his client.There is also another issue so far as financing, if your friend is obtaining a loan the lender will require a GWD being insurable as well, exceptions are made for institutional lenders selling as the property is sold by a corporate body arising out of a foreclosure, a different issue than buying from an individual.Make it a lending requirement for settlement and that SWD may go away.But, ask, are there any exceptions being made and why?

@Tom Waddell I actually do own my own online business so I will check that out.

See you all around the site, you are all my online mentors.

So your best bet will be to just call and talk to some lenders to find out what they can do for you.

Also familiarize yourself with the bet line project south Fulton and mid town are great markets.

Craigslist is free, there may be other online classifieds as well.
