Too bad there is not a way to speed up the process of taking a property and putting it back on the market. Do most foreclosers go through uncontested? If so, why does it take so long.

Unless I'm missing something which is possible or if things are done differently in Florida the hit list for these foreclosures in The Villages can be found where? I have put several realtors on cross examination about foreclosures and the total result is zero. I would love to catch a manufactured or regular home that's hurtin for certain and shape it up to help myself, the neighbors, & The Community. I would never consider a house that the people or person are being evicted by the sheriff and the house is available immediately. Bad Karma, not into that scenario. If you feel like it my E-mail is Muhlbach1@hotmail.com. I'll try to help with one or two properties. I just need an address a picture and a description of what is known about the property. Once I'm set, I will be living in one of them I'll help you learn how to do the same thing for free if you like. It's rough to do and at times during the process you'll think that you should have your head examined but the feeling of accomplishment and helping someone else is amazing. There should not be any properties like that in this beautiful place. With all the knowledge and time people have on their hands it should be rewarding. Making a few dollars doesn't hurt either. I am disabled and can't do any of the work anymore, my wife would be the one technically doing the lifting...she great at the whole process and handles it with ease. I have no licensed business and am just looking for a bargain to start our restart in The Villages.

It's one one hundredth of one percent. I'd say The Villages is doing extremely well in this area. No where else in this country would this be looked at as a problem.

The topic is distressed properties in the Villages. Please stay on topic.

We bought our home from the child after parent passed away. Even though there was money and mortgage was paid off, it took a seventeen months before property could be put on market. It's not a fast process

We bought a foreclosure. Got an awesome deal. Owner flat out just walked away.

Perhaps the solution would be for the developer to do MINIMAL maintenance, filing a lien on the property. This would include MINIMAL lawn and garden maintenance, and if necessary bug control.
I am sure there will be problems with this 'solution' also, but I believe this is much better then the properties just sitting vacant and decaying.

Might be a benefit if it was the only lien. A prior lien would take precedence. Probably would not matter if there was no signed contract.

I do not know what triggered this thread to reopen, however, discussion had been on foreclosure homes. I won't say where but I have been by two homes in The Villages that are occupied and in dire need of maintenance . is the cause lack of motivation or lack of ability?
