New Mexico Home Foreclosure is Final

New Mexico home no more… The original foreclosure sale was rescheduled due to a fairly rare snowstorm. I was happy to get extra time to get the short sale approved. The lender wasn’t willing to talk to us though. So the home went up for sale at the foreclosure auction yesterday. Today I found out […]

Dallas Finally in Escrow… I Think

Wow… this took a lot of back-n-forth but I finally have a cash buyer for the Angleridge Dallas property. It went into escrow today, but there are still a couple of issues. I will have to tell you the history on this deal another day – why I bought it, what went wrong, how I […]

Stop Modesto Foreclosure via Short Sale, But No Promissory!

Spoke with agent working to stop my foreclosure in Modesto, California. We spoke about the status of the short sale offer. The rep at the bank finally got back to my short sale agent and said they may want me to sign a promissory note in order to get this short sale approved and stop […]

Pool Maintenance in Foreclosure

If you’re facing foreclosure, you know that sinking money into any kind of maintenance is the last thing on your mind. Especially when you don’t live in the property and the property is 75 miles away. The last time I visited that property was sometime in October or November of last year. Here is how […]

Foreclosure Help and Hater Comments

Here is an email I got today: Subject: Listen, you gotta start deleting those hate comments Those haters are ruining your blog. It is because of their rubbish, that your intended audience (people who are genuinely interested in what you’re doing) are slowly slipping away from your blog. That’s why you’re getting less and less […]

Last Foreclosure… No Houses, No Money, No Stereo

Today I lost my last property to foreclosure. The worst part is that BOTH the first and second approved the short sale but the first (Countrywide) refused to give the buyer a small extension to close. They had a solid offer for $300,000 on the table! The pool and spa is still a mess as […]

Short Sale, After Foreclosure, Book, GSPG, Etc.

Facing Foreclosure – Activity Log

I’ve been trying to “take care of priorities” for the last 24 hours. Here is a log I kept on my notepad as I was working (this is a quick-n-dirty post, please pardon the grammar / spelling) Monday (yesterday) woke up late because I was up late last night responding to emails, installing a plug-in […]

Avoiding Foreclosure via Short Sale and/or For Sale by Owner

A quick update on my California properties. Burdett… I hired my realtor to do the short sale on Burdett property because she has been doing such a great job with Larchmont. If you remember, I already have a verbal approval from the lender to short sale at 248. An investor who I was working with […]

No word on Short Sale… Remaining Homes Going to Foreclosure Today?

Just spoke this morning to the realtor in Rio Ranch, New Mexico. He has been unable to get a hold of the lender to get a status on the short sale package we sent in a long time ago. The real estate agent said this particular lender (Aurora) is known for being very hard to […]

Will I Stop The Last Foreclosure via Short Sale?

We got approval from the bank to allow short sale of the Modesto house at about $300,000. I have the approval letter but my short sale real estate agent didn’t want me posting it quite yet. Now that the 1st is willing to do the short sale, the agent is negotiating with the second to […]
