Sorry... I can't edit this so will just add more here:
A Realtor told me this important tip for anyone putting their home up "For Sale By Owner" FSBO --be sure to advertise it as One Year Home Warranty Plan Available. (What most people don't know is that if the buyer does want it they can get it...it comes out at closing and the buyer pays it! At least it is that way with AHS American Home Shield | Home Warranty | Homeowners Warranty | Home Protection Plan | Selecting a Home Warranty | Purchase a Home Warranty | Home Protection Options and it is not expensive --like $356 to cover them for the first year in case the whole air conditioning unit would go out or some other thing. Neat deal and not just something Realtors can do!!!!
Just be sure if you are doing a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) in the Springfield, MO area* and your buyer wants it it should be on the contract but do make your title company aware of it.
*Nixa, Ozark, Willard, Republic, etc

Look at the Springfield Realty (Springfield, Mo) Multi-List
HERE IT IS!!!! ---> GSBOR.COM - Realtors
DID YOU REALIZE THAT THERE ARE FSBO HOMES LISTED ON THE MULTI-LIST? [SIZE=1] A HOME LISTED ON THE MULTI-LIST (MLS) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE A REALTOR!!! -- where as Realtors like to say " 80% of home buyers begin their search! "
There are now numerous FSBO companies charging as little as $89 for one month to get a home listed on the MLS (which sends it to Realtor.com with pictures).
$89 is much cheaper than paying a Realtor 5-6% of the selling price of their home ($11,940.00 on a house selling for $199,000!) -- even before the poor seller pays closing costs and other fees, which in today's real estate climate, might also include some of the buyers fees
A seller can put pictures or a visual tours on Realtor.com. NEAT FACT: Realtor.com sends the listing automatically to AOL MSN, Netscape, netzero, moving.com move, homestore.com, iwon, compuserve, juno, yahoo, lycos homeseekers.com google ask
Google Forsalebyowner or see List of "for sale by owner " sites
P.S. Check YouTube where many homesellers have found they can put their home for free and many times have a much better visual tour....FOR FREE!!!

Foreclosure Procedures by State Missouri
TYPE OF FORECLOSURE Primarily Non-Judicial
MONTHS TO FORECLOSE MINIMUM/EXPECTED 2/2
DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT Possible and Practical
A deficiency judgment is when the house sells for less at foreclosure than what was owed, creating a deficiency for the difference between what they made on the sale and what was owed. The homeowner who was foreclosed on would still be responsible for paying the difference
REDEMPTION PERIOD None

To see pictures of the property do this
http://www.greenecountyassessor.org/OwnerSearch.asp
If you don't know the owner's name simply
Click on property search
Choose address.
On the left click on photo
Click on sketch if you want to see how big it is. You will want to check this every time as some houses will have extra square footage included that are not year round living areas. I made sure mine is correct so that I do not pay taxes on anything I should not be paying taxes on.
When you go to buy a house you will want to make sure they have not figured in areas that should not be included as it might not be nearly as big as you thought.

I will put this here.I bought some property for back Taxes.The Taxes hadn't been paid for 10 years.Well I got a Tax Collectors Deed from the Courthouse.I asked them if I could do whatever with this place or would I have to wait? They said no the Taxes hadn't been paid in so long I would have no problem.
Well this was 3 years ago.I just found out they told me wrong,that in order to get things right I would have to go through a Lawyer which would cost more than the property is worth.If I build on it I take the chance of losing it if they want to come back and take it.And this could take up to 25 years.
My wife keeps trying to get me to go ahead a build on this property and take my chances.Which she is right they probably will never come back and try to get it.
