Most properties that appear as you describe are in someone's land bank where they are putting together a bigger deal, waiting for a zoning change or lining up funding.If you do not mind, do a bit of research and then report back.

You should be able to get out of the deal at any time that you choose and have financial reporting monthly.

It would also make no sense to think that all the foreclosures turn into REOs as most foreclosures get resolved before the REO stage.The losses being reported on Wall Street are not from 100% of the MBS going bad.

I think the East Bay has been weaker, at least in some areas (James could probably validate that) and I have no idea how SF is doing.Sorry, it's all anecdotal as I don't really look for detailed reports on how things are doing.

Be consistent with your marketing.
