Open Question: How can I get rid of water in a basement that is coming in through the wall?
I am considering putting an offer on a home that has a problem in the basement with water coming in through the wall. It happens whenever it rains or snows heavily. The current owner has disclosed this information to us, we will obviously have a home inspection done if we do go forward with the home.

I’m wondering what can be done and the approximate cost to fix this problem. Thanks!

Open Question: Buying a foreclosed home at auction In Northern California - advice please?
My husband and I have been following a house that has just had its auction date listed for later this month.

It was originally on the market for $479,000.00. We went to look for a laugh and it was WAY over priced. This was later reduced to $419,000 which we discovered was the amount owing. We started working on the owners and the bank with a short sale - the bank valuation came back at $319,000. We offered $300,000 and it was accepted. During this time we had a full inspection done as our families are builders and contractors and realized that the house was a tear-down essentially as it needed new ceilings, roof, foundations, flooring and had wood rot and mould. We retracted our offer and the property moved into foreclosure.

I still love the land it is on, and so if we can get for a good price we would like to tear down the house and rebuild. Our family is helping us as this is our first house and we have a line of credit available.

1) Do banks set a minimum bid or does the lowest bid get it. They have not posted an opening bid yet. (we have a figure in mind that is market value for a comparable piece of unimproved land)
2) Can you speak to them beforehand and make an offer so to avoid the auction day? (this is not a property that is likely to have more than one bidder)
3) We have been told we need to pay cash, but when? If it is on the day then how do we know how much to get a check for? Can we put down a deposit on the day and then pay the balance?
4) Does an auctioned house come with free title? That was one thing we couldn’t make sure of before bidding.
5) Someone told me that the owners have a certain amount of time after the auction to pay up and get the house back - is this right or is the house mine from the time the money changes hands?

Thank you very much for any help you can give us!
Mike - In the case where a house is ‘upside down’ do the banks still do the same thing?
