This is about $1000 and unfortunately most online reviews are overwhelmingly negative as deals that students found were not readily approved.

Meaning the may only be two days past the due date which is not helpful.    

Always pay on time online and haven’t heard a peep from them since last fall.

What I cannot determine is when homes in the area began being build to more up to date code.

I ended up on bigger pockets when searching for an online community of like minded individuals whose passion is real estate investing (so glad I found this site). 

I have read all the forum post related to foreclosures that I can find on here, and I guess I wanted to check my process and invite anyone else to give me advice.The recommendations I have been given/ read most frequently are:Have a title report performed as close to the date of sale as possible (2-3 days depending on how long your title company needs) Try to find a title company that is willing to sell you title insurance after a judicial foreclosure.Perform extra searches yourself for any items that are excluded from the title report.Calculate the expected value based on the best comps.Drive by the property to get an idea of current condition.

Then you both sign and date, and you’re done.
