Hey everyone, first post here and trying to decide before tomorrow at 9am whether or not to move forward on our first attempt at a real estate investment.

be careful in this arena, as a broker that played the foreclosure game starting in 2006, i found myself facing litigation several times when the sellers lender would not release for a short sale, or we were unable to get a second to release or take a loss. a couple times I had gotten letters from buyers attorneys claiming i did not properly represent the property, (never got sued they were frivolous attempts to push a hand)   but you could easily find yourself in court defending yourself.
