Knowing some finance is nice but most RE investing calculations are not calculus or high-level math.

That is why it is nice to know which loan servicers are working each loan.Regarding the balances of each, I have found that the best deals normally occur when a large second mortgage is in place and I can nearly satisfy the first by shorting the second drastically.

I finally put togther a nice team in the area, and now want to help other people buy out there.

Who would want to screw a nice guy like me?

Hi Jim,Wouldn't that be nice if HUD would cover the damage?

It is best to contact the county clerk office for the county and or go/call to the courthouse where deeds are recorded and ask them if they know of a service that compiles and provides the list to the public for a small fee.In Houston, Harris County they use a law firm PUBLICANS.com there one can pull the tax deed sale property for next month at NO fee... but it is also available for a fee from a foreclosure listing service that compiles it along with the BANK foreclosures for about 40 a month... so you get both in a nice neat list!

It may straighten out in the 18 months and financing won't be a problem, but if it doesn't and home values continue to decline, you may wind up with little or no equity (or worse) which means the 20% down will have to come out of your pocket plus you will need a nice clean credit history that your grandmother would be proud of.

This would be nice, to not have to change and throw out lock sets every time a tenant moves.My question is, are these resettable locks reliable and safe?

Of course, we will be nice.

Hey Noe,Nice to have you on the site!
