Hello George,
I just listed a single story 2 bedroom and a den home for $79,900. It was only lived in as a vacation home, so it is practically new. Call me or email me. It will not last.

Alexp,
You may also ask yourself if you want to become a homeowner in an association that has owners delinquent on their fees. I would take a very close look at the financial statements and make sure that the association has enough to cover expenses if unit owners don't pay. Otherwise you may be carrying more than your fair share of water/sewer and master insurance, let alone maintenance costs. Especially if it is a small association.
Find out why they are in arrears, if there is a plan to become current and what your share would be if the same unit owner(s) do not pay again in the future.... more
Yes Hollie, if you can't trust her then don't do it. If the seller truly needs two weeks than ask for escrow to be extended for two weeks.
Even though there is a expiration date on the short sale approval letter, the person that is negotiating the short sale can ask for an extension. I have had asked for extensions without an issue. Actually we just closed a short sale last week and we asked for an extra two weeks extension due to a similar situation as yours. I currently have another of my shortsales where the approval letter expires on 5/31 but we've asked for a one week extension due to several things that came up on the appraisal report that the underwriter has asked to be corrected.
An extension would be one of my solutions if I was you but you also need to check if that would effect other factors, like if you are getting financing if the lock on your interest rate still within the extended time and so on.
Before I decided make real estate my life career I used to be a computer/Microsoft engineer work for Lucent Tenchnologies and all I was doing was troubleshooting, finding solutions for "bugs" or issues that came up. Now, I am still doing this troubleshooting but in real estate transactions.
The main issue that I see in your situation is that it appears that you don't have proper representation so you must be careful on how you decide to proceed.
I hope this helps and not got you confused in any manner,
Sincerely,

There are both city and state programs in place to help you green your home but they still will take some money, at least initially. - Alternatively, go to a good hardware store, one that has knowleagable staff, explain to them what you're after and listen to their suggestions. You could also visit the Home Depot for that purpose. Implement those suggestions that make the most sense and fit within your budget.... more

Richard:
"Why do they list property with realty trac?"
Isn't it frustrating! In fact, RealtyTrac is listing public record information most of the time.
"I search for properties but when I have to sign up to see specifics that makes it a no go."
RealtyTrac's primary objective is to separate you from the Dollars in your wallet on a monthly basis for information most any Realtor® can provide you for FREE. RealtyTrac is not a "distressed property MLS", they are simply using Trulia to take public record notices and syndicate the information to the web. Very few RealtyTrac listings are actually for sale: http://docs.Steven-Anthony.com/RealtyTrac30.pdf
Most distressed property is sold via Realtor® websites!

"Realty trac is a scam to get money, they make money on the property sale so why hit is twice?"
Given you can get REAL 100% distressed property listings from a Realtor® for free it would not appear to be a great "investment" for sure.
Here's a quick relative risk scale for distressed property (1 being the most risky):
1) Trustee Sale (court house steps)
2) Auction Company Sale (you bidding in a pressure environment)
3) REO (reduced disclosure requirements),
4) Short Sale (primarily risk is approval timeline)
