hello,

here in Texas, you have to own the property for 90 days before you sell to an FHA buyer or 12 months for a conventionally financed buyer.

definitely weeds out alot of conventional buyers that have interest in my property.... sometimes it makes it scary but in a market like Austin, it's hard to lose!

I don't know if it matters from state to state but that's my experience with rehabbing here in Austin....

i consistantly close about 12 deals a year from craigslist..... great place to get buyers!!!!!!

I have seached and searched and cannot find the answer to my questions. I have been trying to locate preforeclosures here in Austin via the courthouse. Everytime I get anyone on the phone or via the internet at the courthouse, they all refer me to the "tax accessor-collector". Is he the person that I need? When I talked to him he said all the only list he has are homeowners behind in taxes?!? I hear other people saying to visit the courthouse "daily" but the courthouse says that the preforeclose list is only out every 3 weeks since the auction is the first Tuesday of every month. Why would I need to visit "daily?" Can I find out about preforeclosures before the 3 week time period that they are released in the newspapers and courthouse? I am very thankful for this site and thanks in advance for your time!
