First you need to know if in fact the foreclosure process has been completed. If so, a certificate of title has been issued. By going to the local taxing authority in the county in which the property is located and asking for the name in which the title is held...You will then be able to track the new owner by name and address.

So sorry you experienced this. Surely it was not intentional; It can probably be explained that the agent or agency started entering the data and perhaps had the Internet go down or the lights flickered resulting in lost programming. It is also possible that an inexperienced assistant entered the data and did not know how to proceed but had already started uploading info only to discover it was for another listing and did not know how to fully delete or stop the transmission. What I am trying to say is that no licensed real estate agent would sit down to enter valuable data and intentionally leave all the most important details off. Something went wrong. Call the agent and let them know you discovered a blank listing with omissions and they will get it corrected.

Your deposit should be dependent upon the purchase price. A lot of agencies will look at ten percent of the purchase price being a normal deposit amount. Of course, this is relevent to the amount of financing you are needing as well. If you are looking for 90% financing then ten percent is the down payment amount and would be needed at the time of closing any way in addition to closing costs, You can negotiate thie deposit and ask that a portion be placed into escrow at the time of the offer and then upon receiving your committment for financing you can place the balance into escrow. To further clarify the question regarding how much deposit do you need, even just a simple $100 can make the deal perfectly legal. Most agents will frown upon this amount since it won't cover expenses in the event that you forfeit the money and walk away.

Call your local Chamber of Commerce. They usually know who the hot agents are in the area. You will want someone who deals in rental property management and has done so for several years minimum. You could also get some ideas by googling the top agent in Danielsville. Even if that agent does not handle rental properties, they will know who does that. I wish you much happieness in the new chapter of your life in Commerce.

It depends on the offering status. If the listing is open only for owner occupied, then anybody anywhere can place a bid on a HUD home so long as you are going to occupy that home yourself. If the offering is open for investors, then you don't have to live there and yes you can be from any where to place a bid on it.
