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.

From the “Publisher” of Casey’s Foreclosure Book…

[Begin guest post from the “Publisher”] Warning: this will be a lengthy post, but will answer many questions people are dying to know. In light of Casey shutting down his blog, turning it back on, his last several posts and people’s comments, the need for many clarifications are apparent. Casey had asked me to create […]

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 […]

Casey Serin / Foreclosure Mention in Stern (German)

I was mentioned in Stern, a German magazine. The reporter that interviewed me sent me a copy. I got it a few days ago and wanted to share it here. [The reporter sent me a package with Stern and two accompanying publications, see above. One looks like a TV guide.] The problem is I can’t […]

No Judging! Just Surviving and Helpin’

Casey Serin Facing Foreclosure on Wikipedia – a Defense

I’ve been watching the Casey Serin entry in Wikipedia get written over the last couple of months. It’s obviously written by my critics but they say they are trying to keep an “encyclopedic tone” (see the discussion tab). The problem I have is that the entry is highly skewed toward making me look bad. So […]

All You Have to Do Is Ask. Sweet!

Wow… I’m blown away! What a blessing! After last post and the email blast to my mailing list I received an overwhelming positive response! I already had like 700 emails to process, now I’m going to have several hundred more to go through. But there is gold in my inbox… so it’s all good! Sweet […]

#6 Foreclosure Search on Google, Talking Foreclosure Book

And it’s organic! Don’t have to pay a penny (dirty or not). Now I just have to do something good with it. Like figure out if people are looking for how to stop foreclosure, or to research foreclosure process/laws or to buy foreclosures. Probably a mixture of all of those. So the demand is there. […]
