How to get a cheap Bank repossession properties ?

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.

what’s new with Bankruptcy law changes 2009

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.

The attorney general says the act needs refreshing because most bankruptcies now relate to con...
