foreclosure: Buying a Short Sale or REO - What Am I Missing? - 07/21/09 09:44 AM
This post is for buyers who are buying a short sale or REO. There are lots of you, at least in Carlsbad and nearby communities of Oceanside, Vista and San Marcos, and from what I hear, elsewhere too.

foreclosure: Foreclosure Assistance for Agents in California - 12/06/07 02:21 PM
I don't know the laws in other states, but here in California there are several regulations that come into play with pre-foreclosure and foreclosure properties that can significantly impact us. I suspect there are some regulations that exist in your state that dictate what you, as an agent, can and cannot do. And which might also protect consumers from being harmed by investors seeking to capitalize on their bad luck.
