I am also Asian and if anyone need help dealing with asian homeowners feel free to contact me.

I have to apologize I didn't have the time to spell everything out right then so I offered some personal contact.

In a state where there is a 2% transfer tax a round trip from you to the LLC and back to you will cost you 4%In one location I know of the county waives the transfer tax when going between an individual and a trust as they do not want to tax someone organizing their estate (estate planning many times involves transfers into or out of a trust).Pull out an old closing statement or contact a closing attorney if you use them in MD.

We'd like to get to know more about you, but if you are here solely to promote your business, contact me and we can discuss your ad options.Otherwise, I hope we can see you around the site as a contributor to the conversations going on!!!

Some will require that they verify your cash before you can start bidding or even enter if the auction is in a room.Better would be to contact the specific entity running the auction.

I spent $800 the first time I did it, then I copied what the attorney did and replicated it 14 more times for nothing.If you contact the county recorder they may give you enough info on what the form looks like to do it yourself.

Surely someone must know....Like I said I'm not sure if its a foreclosed property or not but where would I go to find out why this property has simply been abondon and if it makes sense to contact the owner to see if he/she wants to sell.Any suggestions would be great.

thank you both for your wise words, well anyway i guess i'm just so anxious to do my first deal. especially a deal like this were the homeowner is in distress and states to you how much equity is in the property (i know i'm a beginner, but i don't see how he'll benefit by lieing to me about the amount of equity in the property, because he already stated he doesn't want to sell the property, and i already stated to him i'm gonna view the property/mortgage paperwork)well anyway i must say i agree with you both, from first look it seems the best way to do this deal (thats if all the number are right) will be to purchase the house for the amount left on the mortgage, and give them moving cash and etc (this way i'll have alot of instant equity within the property, which i could either wholesale to another investor or put it on the market at a small discount and sell it retail because of the properties perfect condition, then i could even try a short sale to build up more equity to make the two above tactics more profitable for me)now the only tactic i can think of that would work, were they will get to stay in there house and will be profitable/beneficial to me as well is to then purchase the property real cheap (whats owed on it) and offer to lease option it back to them at a higher interest rate and at a higher property price, but i think this tactic will be risky with this individual because of his credit and the nature of work he's in (construction were some parts of the year your without work and tring to collect unemployment) so this is what i plan on doing, i first plan on putting together a list of questions i must get answers to at the tuesdays meeting i plan on having with them, then i plan on explaining the whole foreclosure process to them and the uphill battle they face (which i hope will change their position about not wanting to sell their house under any cumstances), then i plan on making a smooth exit and letting them know i'll be back in contact with them to let them know what i think their best solution is to solve their problem (this tactice is to buy time, so i can really cruch the numbers and speak with others to really figure out the best win-win for everyone, thats if their is a deal their)if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know

Making contacts(via the internet), drafting a plan, getting my credit in line, securing funds, but I am finding I keep coming across a common road block.
