City Contemplates Lawsuit Against Lenders For Foreclosuresby Pam SimpsonThe Kudzu Vine
Blight, due to a high rate of foreclosed homes is rampant in parts of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee. One source estimates there were almost 12,000 foreclosures in Shelby County between January 2007 and September 2008.
According to a local TV station, City of Memphis and Shelby County leaders are contemplating a lawsuit against unnamed (as yet) mortgage lenders. The government officials blame subprime home loans for Memphis having the highest foreclosure rate in the state of Tennessee.

Before You Buy That Foreclosure...by Pam SimpsonThe Kudzu Vine
I came across an article the other day - Top 6 Mistakes of Foreclosure Home Buying - by Luke Mullins of U.S. News the other day. I thought it made some excellent points, especially about factoring in the costs of repairs to the purchase price.
When I am representing a buyer who is considering a foreclosure, I like to take the price plus estimated repairs and compare to the recent solds in the area. Sometimes what seemed like a steal at first turns out to be not such a great deal. You have to go into the process being INFORMED. That … (1 comments)

5 Surefire Ways To Let That Foreclosure Slip Through Your Handsby Pam SimpsonThe Kudzu Vine
This blog article is prompted by something I saw at Trulia Voices the otherday. A buyer was lamenting the fact that he had lost out on a foreclosure bidding war and of course, blamed his agent. Not knowing the specifics of the situation, it could be that his agent was inexperienced in REO bidding. But I find, more times that not, the buyer has unrealistic preconceived notions about purchasing a foreclosure that proves to be the real problem - too many late night "get rich quick" … (17 comments)

Realty Bid - What Am I Missing?by Pam SimpsonThe Kudzu Vine
I've noticed over the last couple of months a significant number of bank foreclosure listings in my area being placed on Realty Bid. Realty Bid is an on-line auction service. Their banner says "Benefiting Buyers, Agents & Sellers Alike".
Since I have represented a number of REO buyers, I decided to poke around a little on the site. I saw that a few of the properties up for auction in my area had bids, but apparently there are 'reserve' prices which had not been met. I also noticed items labeled 'Fees' … (5 comments)
