Last night was different - we did a bus tour of 7 homes that have been foreclosed upon. These were in Woodbury, Syosset, and Plainview, Long Island. We had members of the BBC filming us for an upcoming special in Europe, and we had fun too!

Some houses were water damaged, others were nearly move-in ready, but all were a real good deal. If you get a construction-type mortgage you can have the money set aside to pay for repairs. All of these homes sold for much more that the current asking price by the banks. We had several agents from Remax Village Properties (thank you Sherri Cambereri, Tara Downing and David Farrell), as well as Rob Morandi from Wells Fargo as our mortgage consultant, and yours truly as the on-board home inspector.

We were able to answer all questions put to us, and we had real buyers, not the 'tire-kicker' types you sometimes get.

So don't make a fuss, just get on the bus! -Ray
