In a foreclosure they can only do so much, here, (Which I think is the best run place I have ever lived), there, or anywhere.

We lived in one of the nicer suburbs of Cincinnati and never thought that foreclosure business would touch us. Unfortunatly it is a blight everywhere in this country.

When we had our house on the market last year, I personally cut the grass and trimmed the bushes of a foreclosure down the street. We had a property owners association that always made people jump through hoops but it was powerless to force a bank owned property to do anything.

Jane, who is in this business, and understands just what CAN be done about foreclosed properties, just wrote an excellent post, above.
