Yes but I let my clients know my reasons for it and leave the ball in their court.

Would that hold up in court?

i edward. the deal sounds ok, but i would put the properties in a business name when doing the quit claim deal. that way you, the individual, can go to auction and bid on them. with the banks writing off their liens, thats a good thing. they no longer have a claim to the properties, but go to the county court house and get a copy of the release of lien. just because the bank wrote off the lien, does not mean that they will not be a problem in the future. get a copy. make your deal with the owner and go to the auction and see just how cheap you can get the places for. good luck to you

They stormed out saying, "we'll settle this in court."  

Hi- Sorry- I know this is an old threadDoes anyone have recommendations for a real estate attorney in the South Windsor/East Hartford CT area? 

@Ashley Guzmancontact your local civil courts and request a list of recent "summary ejections."

@Gunnar Teltow  in the day in PDX I was one of the top 3 foreclosure steps buyers... and the picture you post above was how crazy it was at the court house.. when I started buying foreclosures in the late 70s and early 80's I was generally the only one there.. never had to bid against anyone.Fast forward to the internet and how to fix and flip guru's  and even a Bp Educating folks on how to do our industry that had no experience.. led to what you have today.. mass's thinking this is a get rich business quickly with no money no credit etc.Anyway I am bidding on this little rancher... starting bid was 80k  ARV 200k  this brought out every buddy and their brother.. 34 people qualified funds to bid... so right there that was at least 3.4 million in cash chasing one deal.. it bid up to a point that the winning bidder would be lucky to make 10k.. and if there was issues could loose 10kI want back to my office and told my staff....

You want an honest agent in your court.

Reading and understanding court records is paramount for bidding on foreclosure auctions.I am not absolutely certain I have grasped it. 

He sent his own notice of breach (which was almost identical to the one we had already sent) and waited another 30 days to proceed to the court filings.
