Tough spot to be in, my former employer had it happen. In the end, they never paid the lender anything and the lender collapsed anyway and went out of business so they got lucky. What would probably happen is that the lender would probably sue for the difference in the amount that the loan was funded for and the property sold for at REO auction. If you don't want to go down the road of hiring attorneys and paying $10000 retainers to have them charge you $75 for answering your emails, then either represent yourself in court and lose or just don't show up and get a judgment against the business. It will take a very long time for them to come around and actually collect. If the judgment is against the broker or owner individually you would probably have some more problems based on whatever assets they own. Put all rentals into LLC's and all liquid investments into family member's names and they can't get anything. This is California, the wild litagious west. - Tue Oct 28 2008, 15:53
Lead generating in Real Estate is a face-to-face endeavor. Now even more than in the internet revolution. A mentor once taught me that the only time we as agents are really working is when we are face-to-face and belly-to-belly with a qualified buyer and showing them properties that they can buy today. I say use the intraweb only as an introduction tool then get them to come into your office! - Tue Oct 7 2008, 09:47

I admire your optimism. With a 528 it will be very hard unless you have about 30% down and do a hard money type loan. Even FHA and the down payment assistance programs typically require 550 mid score. - Tue Aug 26 2008, 11:46
Congrats! Your timing is excellent and your financial discipline deserves merit. If you like Toluca Lake, but don't have the budget for a $6000 mortgage payment try North Hollywood around the arts district. There's some great new condos within walking distance of the Metro Rail station on Lankershim and there are many cute older houses around the area. As with any older house, you need to be dilligent with your inspections because old houses=new problems. Check out MLS 08-283437 It's on Denny Ave, cute house with a yard asking only $296000 (foreclosure, bank owned). And perfect for a couple, maybe even with one child. If you need an agent, you know where to find me! - Mon Aug 18 2008, 10:12
