If you're seeing delinquent taxes on a property, this is a likely indication that a bank/mortgage isn't involved with the property anymore.Just food for thought.

Why they feel the need to even go up there is beyond me, but the roof will only last as long as indicated if taken care of properly.People here seem to have taken my comments previously as not believing in the 50% Rule, I certainly do!!!!!!

They tell you how easy it is to make money with real estate and use words like "autopilot", "turnkey", or other words to indicate that you it won't require much work. 3.

There are thousands of studies that indicate this is flat-out not true.

Because a bunch of contingencies indicates that you are a newbie that is likely not to close on the deal.

Cash for Keys, short sales, sub 2 and all the other ways a homeowner can avoid foreclosure will drive that difference, and given time, the industry of avoiding foreclosure (evidence the growth of scams in this area) will continue to grow as well.At the same time, there are a lot of buttons being pushed and levers being pulled, aka foreclosure moratoriums and loan mod programs aimed at slowing the pace of actual foreclosures.I don't think any reduction in foreclosures is a significant indicator, too many differences between this year and last.

> > It will exacerbate the problem OF foreclosure, as fewer sellers will be able to sell their homes to avoid it, and CAUSED BY foreclosure, as fewer buyers who have recently experienced foreclosure will be able to re-start the process of home ownership inexpensively and easily by negotiating owner financing.

IMO, you'd have fewer buyers, and more properties sitting on the market longer.

Fewer homebuyers = more renters.I look forward to hearing about your ventures.
