A recent analysis by ZipRealty indicates underpricing is not a one-size-fits all tactic especially in the Orlando area.

Before you pack up for a cheaper rental, make some calls to people who can … (1 comments)

When homes foreclose, displaced owners do not always walk away, heads down, chatistized by their failure. Many owners or even tenants do not want to leave - so they stay until they are evicted at additional cost to the bank. Other time, owners lash out at the bank by damaging the home so badly that it costs thousand to restore it to liveable condition. For banks, already on the losing end of many mortgages, the losses do not stop when the court returns the home to them.
To prevent these types of losses, Florida banks and others throughout the country have started … (2 comments)
