Virtually every day, I receive a call from a real estate professional or home owner that inquires about filing "the lawsuit" to stop a foreclosure.  It seems that many believe the separate lawsuit (or a lawsuit in the even of a non judicial foreclosure) will stop the foreclosure process.  Where d...

Many real estate investors contractually arrange to be able to immediately list the property for sale (at a higher price). Legally, there is no problem with this (if done correctly).
