I don't know if they are online, but IFREC was pretty good. The owner of the company is on the real estate board, so that adds some legitimacy. 

Post: Florida Foreclosure Investing - Refund when Redemption Occurs?

Quick question as an aspiring foreclosure investor:

In the event that you purchase a property at foreclosure sale in Florida and the homeowner redeems, what happens with the money you bid? Does RealForeclosure issue you a refund? Does the clerk of court issue the refund? Is it a full refund?

Thank you!

Lots of exemptions w/ insurance policies. GL will try and find any loophole they can to not actually pay out on a claim (e.g. owner's negligence); leaving you holding the bag.

Post: Student Housing Impact on Surrounding SFR Property Values

Greetings all,

I was hoping to get some feedback on the following question. Anecdotal evidence is welcome, but if you could point me to any relevant sources it would be much appreciated as well.

Low-value SFR properties ("ghettos") tend to surround major universities. When a big student housing project sprouts up next to campus in the midst of these SFRs, what is the likely impact on SFR properties which are immediately adjacent to the project?

Presumably, gentrifying the neighborhood would lead to higher rents and property values? Or would the additional inventory push rent prices down, and thus, home values?

Bonus question: opinions on rezoning/repurposing adjacent SFR to commercial uses which are catered to students?
