Hello BP Nation =)I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place.I have several friends in the Real Estate industry (in various aspects), and one of them owns properties in Los Angeles proper.

PNC customer service. 800-523-9654But, this doesn't sound like a loss mitigation issue, maybe they can forward you to the proper dept.

One of my biggest problems has been properly locating and finding the correct information on the owner to make a solid connection.I have tried a few different ways like looking up the owner's name on the internet and whitepages.com although neither has really proven to be productive.

Simply go to the Trustee Sale with proper due diligence in hand or in head and make you bids.

If it were me I would definitely want the power on to see if the a/c and heat work if the electrical systems work properly and just to make sure that you can see the actual condition of the place first.

I actually think there is a lot of opportunity here if you properly account for all the deferred maintenance and purchase at enough of a discount to compensate for poor management.I have tenants that don't speak any english, and while communication is certainly a challenge, it isn't something that can't be overcome.

You just need to try to reduce the fees to a minimum to help with marketing on the exists AND make sure that everything is broken out properly so the buyer's ratios don't get goofed up.

Online websites cannot give an accurate value as they do not have the required detail and data to make the proper estimate.

But in MA, after the Ibanez ruling, no one in their right mind would foreclose on a property without a damn good attorney, because if you don't do it properly, you can be made to start all over again.

But I never did a proper introduction that posted successfully, so I figured I'd do one now.Quick facts:39MaleHappily married3 kidsFormer militaryWork in Northern Virginia/NoVARead Rich Dad, Poor Dad in college, loved it, and didn't bother pursuing any of its tenents or suggestions until a few years back :)From a real estate perspective, in January 2008 I landed my first real civilian job after spending the previous seven months homeless, unemployed, and freshly divorced (it was a culmination of bad luck/decisions/timing, and leaving the service to boot).
