" And -- show is online and on demand. Turned to Richie yeah Saturday is one before Sunday's nine to noon on."

" It's not. Let's go to Ed in his car and you're on 96 time Boston talks I had."

" I don't connect. Export and -- question I'm renting a house bettors go in there that's gone into foreclosure. Com and the I I've been trying to work -- which he owner to try to. Buy it or what not pitch com and I know how to load it and had an appraisal done approximately six months ago and I just didn't."

" There have been closed down before well. Okay because of this is new. Case law which makes buying foreclosed properties dangerous but -- in your case in May -- the exception. What's your question."

" Questioners it is is its top legal and auctions. And it and a few weeks here and you know what worm are living in it you know an honor to know what's owed him and I'm trying to work with. -- Warner and in good idea or should I."

" It's easier is it well it is it is in a property that you and if you weren't living there and wasn't going into foreclosure would you buy. -- visited an area that is. A lot of properties -- being foreclosed on are just happens to be yours. Or. Well if you can negotiate a really good price I would talk to some brokers and eat you up against the -- see what it's worth the and then you can go back sizzle to the -- all receipts economic job which he goes on."

" Yeah right around recently."

" I'm what do you think properties worth."

" It was -- that in -- it. 399 for a quick sale."

And it -- but you can get it for 300. Then I'd say yeah it's worth a shot but you know I can get the 300 because these give you a short sale is gonna go back to the beginning. So I I'd doesn't sound to me like like this is he gonna deal with the property like this and you wanna be able to buy and a at a major discount. And this is no there's not enough room in abided major discount now recognized if it's foreclosed on. You may have to move is also the possibility that if it's foreclosed on and they'll and and by the the entity that -- it is the lender. Then you may be able to negotiate a better deal with that. On the other flip side as they make kicked out. What what is your lease so how long -- more. Well then -- if it's. If you don't buy it and you can't negotiate with the purchaser. To buy it then -- then you're you're out of there."

" Now that did banks and a certain percent of those that they -- that are willing to take a lot on focal."

" depends on the lender depends on the bank to depends on pins and a lot of things you you keep you can't look at it that way you have to look at it from. From your standpoint is what is what would what would make it worth your while to buy it and if the lender says yes fine gentleman says no. Then move on. The --"
