To add more detail, the child still has not had a court date, been convicted or pled to the charges.

I would try with your current insurer (unless it's Safeco).Allstate is quite popular, but are limited to insuring 4 properties - http://www.allstateagencies.com/DeanBarnard/WelcomeAmerican Family Insurance seems pretty flexible and will insure over 100 properties - http://insurance-agency.amfam.com/GA/robin-l-mitchell/Can your property manager recommend someone?

I have a feeling I'm going to look stupid asking this but oh well...Foreclosure Information Defendant Name: BILLY R MURRAY Last Sale Amount: $47,500 Last Sale Date: 03-27-1998 Recording Book: 833Loan Information 1st Mortgage Date: 12-01-2008Legal Information Trustee Name: FREDERICK A JESSER Trustee Address: 204 WEST MAPLE AVENUE Trustee City: FAYETTEVILLE Trustee State: WV Trustee Zip: 25840 Trustee Phone: (304) 645-6566 Deed Category: NFSOk so my question is, why is there contact info for the trustee but not for the defendant?

They can verify that a person is employed, what their start date was and that's it.

And I know my limitations and when to bring in the experts who will do a better job than I would.Thanks again.

Unfortunately, it's going to be tough to have such a limited role in the investment (especially with limited knowledge/experience) and still be successful on your own.

Hardmoney lending is sort of like being a limited partner in a real estate partnership with a little more skin in the game.

I just downloaded the El Paso County Pre Sale Foreclosure List Sale Date: July 11, 2012 off of the elpasopublictrustee.com website and I am trying to decipher the information contained therein.

I quote:PROPERTY DAMAGE BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE AND CLOSING Seller shall maintain the property until the earlier of closing or occupancy of buyer in materially the same condition as of the date of acceptance of this offer, except for ordinary wear and tear.

IMO, it's one of our most dangerous laws and one that should be strictly limited.
