As an example, the last meeting was fascinating as we discussed brownfield properties and were introduced to a company who cleans up contaminated properties, bringing them back back to organic certification by reactivating natural occurring bacteria.  

You've got it.With the exception of TX, where an automatic stay occurs on non-judicial Foreclosures during probate (I think), it's a race between parties.The estate basically owns equity net of secured creditors. 

For the click-impaired among us:WOOD RIVER, IL (KTVI) – The Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office charged an 18-year-old East Alton man Thursday for allegedly robbing a local pharmacy at knifepoint.According to Wood River Deputy Police Chief Dan Bunt, the robbery occurred Wednesday around 8:50 p.m. at the CVS Pharmacy on W.

Also my thoughts and prays goes out to the families of this tragic accident :/

there is a very unique phenomenon that is occurring as a result of the mtg meltdown in 08.  

A to B must occur BEFORE B to C can occur.  

Wow... that must come in handy in a fix/flip deal :-) I became interested in real estate by accident.

No amount of due diligence, screening turn key companies, or interviewing property managers will every prevent this maxim of real estate from occurring over and over again. 

I always wanted to be a buy and hold real estate investor at some point in my life, but my journey truly happened by accident rather than strategic planning.Purchased condo unit from my neighbor in 2012 after walking by an open house sign and being shocked at the asking price; Rented it out and tenant has been there for 4 yearsPurchase single family home in the suburbs in 2013, planning to gut-rehab or tear down in the future as we build our family; Rented it out and are on the third tenantRented out other primary residence condo and moved to townhome we're renting in the suburbs (Ironic, I know...) since baby was on the way.

I've watched people's minds become very unreasonable when this situation arises and there occurs "a money grab".I've watched partners flat out steal the whole deal.
