If you read this post, you know we are having a foreclosure bus August 2nd in the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. While I am certainly not the first one to come up with this idea, it is the first of its kind in the Indianapolis area. Turns out we were able to generate some interest from the local media. Take a look at the story from Rafael Sanchez on Channel 6 and no, he is not coming after me, he does do regular interviews as well:
What is crazy is the response we got from this story. I have not done any other advertising and within 24 hours of this story the bus is full, even after upgrading to the bigger bus. I am still waiting for a few call backs to confirm and I imagine we will have a few cancellations, so

INDOT and the city of Carmel are very seriously considering making US-31 or Meridian a freeway from I-465 in Carmel to Westfield. An open house last week drew almost 200 attendees to the meeting to hear the proposal and comment on the project. As to be expected, there were opponents and proponents of the project.

Many people, public and real estate agents alike, don’t know this but you could not purchase a home with a FHA loan if the property had changed hands in the 90 days prior to your contract date. This has created havoc for people trying to buy foreclosed homes with a FHA secured loan because sometimes the banks take possession and list the property in a matter of weeks. When this does come up, usually way too far into the transaction, it causes buyers to either scramble to find another loan program or cancel the contract and start the home search over.
