got a call yesterday, guy asked how do i know you are not a scammer? he never let me answer he just rambled, sensed he needed someone to talk to. he wanted $18000 for his house, i looked it up and he has a $27000 judgment he wasnt even aware of, said he never got served etc. not selling the house this way. anyway now i have his number and he needs cash so probably can buy his overage rights when the time comes, people pay stupid money at tax auctions,he only owes $3000 in back taxes but he doesnt have it --143.244.xxx.xx

Smells Ike opportunity. --172.59.xxx.xx

Thank you! --72.218.xx.xxx

You could then buy the place from him for cheap with the judgment still in place. --136.61.xx.xxx

Or how old is that judgement? Will it be disappearing in a couple of years? --173.188.xx.xxx

judgment is only a year old so 9 years to fall off.Yes the county foreclosure would remove the judgment provided the county attorney notifies them properly.The problem is no title company will insure a tax sale property for 2 years so i cant sell it and whatever i pay and put into it i cant refi it out either so i have to be happy with that situation if i buy it.I dont really want the house,it looks like junk and is quite a ways away from where i like to buy,starts adding up to send guys that far.I am also getting into more valuable houses so i wouldnt make enough on this one as i am looking for now.The judgment is owned by a nrsing home,the guy thinks it was related to his mother somehow,the guy is a real blowhard so i dont really want to deal with him anyway,says he is going to go to court because he was never served etc,good luck with that but not going to waste my time.My state only just started allowing overages, i believe this will be the first wave of auctions that will qualify,my attorney is looking into it to see if judgments qualify to collect or just the guy who lost the house can collect, regardless now i have his number,when he loses the house and it gets auctioned i will try to buy his overage rights,he wont know how and he doesnt have enough upfront cash to pay an attorney to do it so i might be able to buy his rights and several others all at the same time and have my attorney apply to the county for the money. I doubt the judgment could be bought,if i wanted the house i would buy it and leave the judgment in place till it drops off, i have done that many times but i dont really want the place so the overage is what i am interested in here. I mail every house on the list and take each call as they come --143.244.xxx.xx

Maybe give this one to your young start up guy? --107.147.xx.xx

zero- he is in on the overages, he will do the running and i will put up the cash and deal with the attorney. he can go meet the people and get everything signed and coordinate with the notary --143.244.xxx.xx

Got it. --107.147.xx.xx

The native cry of the bad tenant! (And homeowners that don't pay their bills) --64.246.xxx.xx

Mapleleaf, I have been getting that a lot lately, i told my wife i think i am going to start telling them if i was scamming you i wouldnt have sent a letter and we wouldnt be talking, it would simply not be in your name anymore and you wouldnt know what to do about it, my wife says you cant tell them that. so i tell them if we make a deal i will write a contract,you dont have to sign it and take it to your attorney and that makes them feel better, by the time i am done with my presentation they almost always sign it and choose not to have an attorney because i will pay my attorney to do the paperwork but they can have there attorney at there expense --143.244.xxx.xx

He did a tapdance and never heard from him again. --64.246.xxx.xx

mapleleaf, i consider that more incompetent than a scam,the vast majority of wholesalers simply dont know what they are doing and many are willing to do unethical things. once the cycle finally moves into the next phase they will mostly be gone which will be great for those of us who know how to actually do deals --143.244.xxx.xx

Is this someone you mailed to? --73.19.xxx.xx

6x6 yes a mailing for unpaid property taxes, this month i have 2 local cities and 2 local counties foreclosing for unpaid property taxes, i am getting calls daily but getting to the point i dont know if i can close them with this short of notice but i get a number and be ready for overages --143.244.xxx.xx

Thank you, Ken. --73.19.xxx.xx
