Can't depend on the government or the stock market for that.

The government regs say you can refinance using a Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac backed loan on properties with up to four units, however, everyone so far says the units need to be under one roof.

No payment or interest rate may be modified unless one or the other or both are reduced.Default provisions would be governed by state law where the collateral is located.

These individuals probably rely on government subsidies to make rent, and there is lots of property management involved..

Another thing to consider would be what are your local laws governing tenant abandonment?

Your broker, as a Realtor will be a member of the local board of Realtors and they govern the relationships between brokers, in doing so they set a co-brokerage fee to be divided for commissions, but each broker is free to set thier own fee structure, but, if a property is listed on the MLS as a condition to do so, that board may require a fee being split under the co-brokage agreements, but some may allow an exclusive listing without fees to others, which means others won't be showing or mentioning such a listing.It's highly unlikely a broker would allow you to do only such exclusive listings trying to get 6% or full commission and there is also the split with the broker to hang your license under them.

Now, most of the certs in the county we typically buy in have 3 or more years worth of back taxes due.Things to keep in mind - gurus on infomercials will tell you this is a risk free investment backed by the government and that you'll be able to pick up tons of properties this way for 10 cents on the dollar.

I did so in all kinds of business operations for over 25 years without any incident.A business entity should be set up for business aspects, taxes, accounting, ease of administration, marketing aspects and it's strucure is governed by law that addresses liability.

So much of our industry is based around the military, NASA, and government contracting that it would be devastating if it ever did close.

I don't know how much of a comeback will be happening on that side, but more importantly, the income over there is very low so not sure who would be able to buy a house unless it was with government help, which is half of what tanked that area in the first place.But again depends on what area you are talking about.
