Just go to flippingamericanetwork.com and click on the FAN. On this show I keep a pretty narrow focus on real estate and small business development. But if you subscribe to my FAN premium blog you’ll find out what I think about a wide variety of topics. I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I’m going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests.

Not a question but more of a sneer: Don’t you feel great preying on other people’s problems?
Your Questions:
- Warren, Duluth, GA, “How can I get a list of foreclosures in Georgia?”
- Peter, Tampa, FL, “What are the financial arrangements for buying at the foreclosure auction? How much money do I need to bring?”
- Connie, Decatur, GA “The ad says cash or certified funds. I guess that means official checks, but if I don’t know how much I’m going to bid, how do I know how much to make out the check for?”
- Demetrius, Macon, GA “What type of Deed will I receive? Will it be free and clear?”
- Presley, Milwaukee, WI, “From a list of more than a hundred properties being sold — and I can’t believe it’s so many — how do you begin to sort it all out to decide what to buy? Do you look at all of them?”
- Collette, Douglasville, GA “How do you get into the houses to see what kind of work they will need? I’ve driven by a few and it looks like people are still living in them.”
- Earl, Hoover, AL “What is the right of redemption? It sounds like a reason I would NOT want to buy at the courthouse steps but perhaps I am misunderstanding.”
- Cynandra, East Point, GA “If I buy a house and people are still living there, what do I do with them?”
- Cash for keys
- Eviction
- Sell back to them for better deal?
- Jennifer, John’s Creek, GA “I just heard that it takes 30-60 days to get the deed from the foreclosing attorney. What is my legal status in the property during this waiting period and what can I do with it?”
