dolfingercom: Foreclosure victims, Do not abandon your pets!
- 06/07/08 06:21 PM
Last Wednesday was a monkey wrench day for me. While doing my occupancy checks I found one that had gone vacant. The power was off, the lawn had not been cut the trash was not taken out, the doors were open. To be sure I went to the neighbors who verified the vacancy. The garage door was unlocked so my assistant and I went in, the house was a mess, then we heard a noise. Birds the occupants had left two pet birds behind. The police humane officer refuses to assist because it was not a dog or cat, the SPCA was closed, … (25 comments)
dolfingercom: I got quoted in the Associated Press Newswire
- 06/07/08 05:50 PM
It has been sometime since my last blog, I think it was early March or so. Since then I have literally been working 12-16 hour days between managing foreclosures and managing my life as a father of 4 not one older than 9. Sleep has not been in my vocabulary, its been all about feeding those children. Well I guess my hard work paid off because last week I spent a little under an hour being interviewed by a reporter from the associated press. Late Friday night I received an email that I had been quoted in the AP Newswire. The article … (9 comments)

Thursday was one of those days from, you know where. And to top it off the suburbans battery decided to die at the grocery store with the wife, newborn and 2 year old in tow.

The call turned out to be from someone who read my blog, when they told me this I think I gasp or made some sound letting them know that I was in a foul mood, … (23 comments)

dolfingercom: Lien position and foreclosure
- 01/26/08 02:14 PM
Liens have positions on the title to property, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. A 2nd mortgage lien holder can foreclose on a property but their foreclosure action is subject to the lien of the 1st lienholder. So if someone where to buy the home at the auction or from the lender as an REO they would still have to pay off the 1st mortgage lienholder. Conversely if a 2nd lienholder where to foreclose on a property with 3 or more mortgage liens then every lien, mortgage or not, with the exception of taxes recorded of record on the property after the date of 2nd … (12 comments)

This was my response. 1) I described my resume which included, REO, Shorts, new construction building and sales, property management, limited re-sale, 1 relo sale, as well as my formal real estate training from the private equity world of formal institutional investments from a due diligence perspective dating back to 1992. 2) I described how I did a CMA versus the resale approach used by most agents and the differences of each. 3) I detailed … (8 comments)
dolfingercom: Bankruptcy is not a bad word!
- 01/25/08 03:26 PM
All I hear from other Realtors is them telling their clients facing foreclosure not to file bankruptcy. Usually they use future credit as the reason. That's hogwash a foreclosure causes almost as much damage to a credit score. Then after the short fails the agents pulls the listing and the seller moves out and the home goes into foreclosure. This attitude and direction is a big mistake, even the lenders would agree. Lenders want the homes protected, winterized and kept up, when someone walks this does not happen, pipes freeze the grass goes uncut etc. Lenders understand bankruptcy and know how to … (6 comments)

It has been quite cold in the northeast for a week or so now. If you are the owner of a vacant home and are sick and tired of paying to heat it here are some simple techniques used to winterize your home. This is given as advice and I will not accept any responsibilty for a frozen pipe. Tools- A garden hose, pliers maybe, a bucket, a compressor and some boat and rv anti-freeze. 1) Shut off the water from either the curb, if you can or near the water meter or well pump. 2) Go to your boiler if you have hot … (11 comments)
