Find a nice, fresh list of properties expected to be sold the next day. There is bid services available to represent you at the courthouses. Cash buyers though.

I can tell you that you would want to confirm that your Owner's Policy of Title Insurance covers these issues and that the proper paperwork has been filed. I have had clients close before a Proceedings Subsequent has been completed. It's best to speak with an attorney, your agent and your title closer.

Before closing, we found out that they haven't completed the Proceedings Subsequent. It's been 2 months since we signed the purchase agreement. The attorney that's handing the Proceeding Subsequent told us it's very normal and there is no risk. They wanted us to close the deal now rather than wait until the Proceeding to complete. We would have to sign an acknowlegment that we're aware of the situation. What would be your advise? We don't mind to wait but the bank has been pressuring us to close. Are there any risk if we close before they're done with the Proceeding Subsequent? Thanks, - Hang Hello,

Are there any risk if we close before they’re done with the Proceeding Subsequent?

There are a number of brokers in Minnesota that won't allow their agents to list homes for less than 6%, essentially eliminating thousands of potential listings for their agents. Those brokers that want to stay in business had better loosen their rules if they want to be around in five years.

Homeowners think I should keep the fraudulent value of their homes propped up just because they were part of the greatest criminal conspiracy this country has ever seen. I didn't realize renters were treated as second class citizens in this country. You steal my money to give to people that work at Taco Bell, so they can keep living in a $300K house. Corrupt homeowners think that just because they WISH their house is worth so much - that makes it true. I hope the day comes when stupid publically school taught renters finally realize they are getting r**** on a daily basis by these Yuppie Scumbag Trash & rise up & fight to take back this country from the criminals that run it!

A real lack of common sense. In fact the whole Bank bailout lacks common sense in my opinion. It amazes me that Countrywide do not seem to care if the get their Reo owned inventory off their books.
