The benefit being that while you may only have one loan in foreclosure in a particular state, we handle and refer out to attorneys hundreds per month, per state, gaining economy of scale, and let's face it, our foreclosures will get done faster than someone sending 1 to an attorney.

Let us know if you have any particular questions and we'll do what we can to help!

What is your particular focus?

i wonder if anyone can talk alittle about recovering earnest money. my particular situation was, a contract was signed, i put down 1000.00 for earnest money. when the closing date came, the contract expired, and we did not close that day. my lender was waiting for documents from the sellers bank involving the foreclosure the property was in. a full week went by, and i changed my mind, and notified my lender that i would not buy this property. 4 days later i was being contacted by the realtors that everything was set to close. we were out of contract, and now the seller refuses to release the 1000.00 back. he is demanding that i pay him 3000.00 dollars for his troubles. i told him i would give him the 1000.00, but he wanted more. we are in oklahoma, which probably explains it all, but if anyone can speak to this issue, i would appreciate it so much...

I can get the fix done within 4 weeks (on the particular property im thinking of).With the market the way it is ... and me somewhat of a pessimist - I don't expect it to sell itself.

As an owner occupant, you would avoid some of them (property management in particular), but one way or the other, you're going to pay them all as the occupant.As an investor, vacancy is a key consideration.

In this particular case total taxes are 445 + 200 for solid waste management.
