Real Estate Investing Attorney Needed

Christa Kirby
Posted

Good day everyone! I am looking for a real estate attorney who is familiar with the creativity needed to work on ambiguous deals in the real estate investing space.

I am looking at a property in James City County, VA that has delinquent taxes, but has not yet gone through the foreclosure process. It is quite the interesting series of events. If there is someone who might be game to hear about the situation and take on the task of helping me figure out how to secure the property prior to auction I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you in advance for your time, much appreciated.

What do you want that attorney to do?

How to get the property?  You go knock on the door and talk to the owner.  If they're not there, you ask to find them, you call them 100x, you mail them post cards and letters 100x.  You talk with the neighbors, you leave business cards and flyers at the house.  The attorney is probably not going to do that for you.

All the events usually never matter.  Sometimes it is fun to research, but in the end, you are just another investor wanting to get a great deal on a house, and you've found one where the seller may have some motivation.  There are probably 100s or 1000s on the delinquent list and this is just one of those.  Some if not many get cured before foreclosure.   Some don't.  Be prepared to buy it at auction.

Why is this deal ambiguous....not sure what that means?
