It would appear that repossesions are a good way to get a property under current market value, however how would you find out about them ? Is this information available to all of us ? Is the purchase any different because it's a repo ie are lenders a bit more wary ? Solutions : If it property is being reposessed the seller (mortgage company) also considers the speed of sale - if they "could" get a higher price with another buyer they will also consider how quickly the sale could go through. Therefore some latitude is given to agents in what offer is accepted (eg an agent can say that buyer "x" is well known to them and can proceed quickly. Buyer "b" offered 10k more but is an unknown quantity.

The key plank of the reforms is raising the minimum debt required to trigger bankruptcy from $2,000 to $10,000. 1966 was  the year the bankruptcy laws were introduced. At that time, someone owed money could begin bankruptcy proceedings over a debt of $500 or more "The Government has basically said this is to protect the battlers with their credit card debts from the big bad banks, but we're worried about the impact on small business."   He gives the example of a tradesperson who has done $7,000 or $8,000 worth of work for a private individual, only to find the customer has not paid up. "That is a big financial impact on a small business and to restrict their recovery option because it falls below that $10,000 threshold is an area of concern. The small business that might be caught with a string of debts below $10,000 is an even bigger concern." The attorney general says the act needs refreshing because most bankruptcies now relate to consumer

Property management is the operation of commercial, industrial and/or residential real estate. This is much akin to the role of management in any business. There are many facets to this profession, including managing the accounts and finances of the real estate properties, and participating in or initiating litigation with tenants, contractors and insurance agencies. Litigation is at times considered a separate function, set aside for trained attorneys . Although a person will be responsible for this in his/her job description, there may be an attorney working under a property manager. Special attention is given to landlord/tenant law and most commonly evictions, non-payment, harassment, reduction of pre-arranged services, and public nuisance are legal subjects that gain the most amount of attention from property managers. Therefore, it is a necessity that a property manager be current with applicable municipal, county and state laws and practices. Property managers lease and
