Greetings,
If you are sincerely looking for someone to help you Google my name.

I have been listing REO property for many years. My profile can be viewed on REO Network, Ocwen, Wachovia, and many asset management companies.

The hardest part of working with investors is the requests for comps and photos where there is no discussion of a retainer for expenses, time and trouble. I do not drive around town taking pictures or producing comp reports for groups who are simply looking for an admin assistant to handle paperwork for unrealistic contracts.

If you all are sincere and you like my profile, contact me. I can provide you with a list of referrals to use so that you can check me out with real people who are getting real results.

Good Luck!

Greetings Melissa,
Fabiola did an extremely eloquent job of expressing the FACTS regarding the risks associated with speculation and the 30315 zip code.

If you are purchasing a property that you like, it truly depends on the street. If you are looking to buy a home for it's appreication potential, there may be other areas to be of consideration. I live in, work in and love 30310. I also respect that there are some streets that I don't want anything to do with.

You will be best served to observe the area and make a decision for yourself whether or not it is right for you. I've met people who take no offense to issues that may make others squeamish. I have a girlfriend who lives in Lilburn who doesn't understand why anyone would want to live in Atlanta, and I can't understand exactly who is in Lilburn, so there you have it.

What is around the house that you like? Are there a large number of boarded up homes or vacant properties? These issues are directly related to whether or not the area is going to "come back" and your safety. In this market, vandalized properties will bearly qualify for financing and if the buyer can't get rehab money few of the truly distressed ones will be picked up unless a group comes in and does exactly as Fabiola has described. Get the whole block, rehab and revitalize a community.

Be careful, work with a full time real estate professional who is somewhat educated on where you want to be. Visit the property in the am, afternoon and pm to understand the goings on of the neighborhood. If you like what you see proceed.

Greetings,
You can get quotes for services from http://www.servicemagic.com. Contractors will come out to the property and provide estimates for the job.

I personally used them to complete a roofing job on my personal property.

Greetings,
Go with your instincts. In the end it will be your decision whether it's good, bad or indifferent.

Finding out what other people have been through is valid and I also agree with Josh. At the same time if it's big enough, cheap enough and convienent enough for YOU, it may not matter what anyone else has to say.

Human nature is to tell everybody you can when you have a bad experience whether it is with the mailman, your hairdresser or your dentist. For the bad experiences, and I've had a well documented bad experience with a Legacy Community, there are equally, if not more people who are very satisfied with their product.

My client is very happy with his home.

Greetings Latasha,
The home has not sold as of yet. It is Under Contract scheduled to close 01/21/09. If you are interested in the home enough to submit your bid to be held by the seller as a back up offer, have your agent submit your contract in writing to the listing broker.

Simply ask for your bid to be of consideration in case of default. Some brokers will accept it and hold it, some don't want to be bothered until the contract falls through. With the rate of default on bids I would encourage you to pursue the property, at least keep an eye on it.
