When you hire someone to mow your lawn, it makes ending up with a cut lawn cut pretty easy. I don’t think hiring a financial planner makes reaching objectives any easier unless you don’t know how to create objectives. If your troubles are discipline related, then you can hire a disciplinarian for much cheaper. Saving money should be pretty easy, it requires you do nothing, nothing that costs money ;} Doing nothing with money though I guess is pretty hard.. but if you have a plan and you’re not hitting your targets, you probably only need to adjust/refine the plan or your level of discipline. It doesn’t seem like you need a FP for a basic/personal plan but maybe a drills sargent could help :} I think focusing on either discipline or plan results versus any temptations for a magic bullet will help alot – just reflecting my own experiences. One of the area I do business frequently has newcomers many who will ask “how much money can I make if I do X?” They usually dissappear shortly after.. the ones that don’t ask that question and just try their hardest seem to end up on a better track.

Can I take pictures of all the major house flaws and put in a pamphlet and give to all the bidders at the auction? Or would that be not allowed? I would be really excited to do that, but wondering if that would be considered interfering with an auction or something…

August 25, 2009 at 2:45 PM in reply to: What happens to things on the property when house auctions? #448817anxvarietyParticipantAlso have another question –
His house looks good on paper, fairly high sq. footage, fairly large lot – but the house itself is old and has major issues – like cracked foundation in multiple areas/leaking pipes etc.
I am hoping this gives him extra leverage with the bank? If someones looking at this place on paper – if they assumed the house was in excellent condition the loan due is still pretty high. Like the property itself is probably worth more than the house, but no way is the entire package anywhere worth what is owed. When bidders decide on these properties – do they just do a drive by and look at the facts on paper? I really don’t think someone would want to buy this house for for even half what the starting auction price will probably be(but i have no idea how these auctions work) – and even at that price my friend could have probably come up with the money + a premium via family to buy it if the bank would have just worked with him. I know it’s a complicated scenario, just wondering what your thoughts are.

August 25, 2009 at 2:34 PM in reply to: What happens to things on the property when house auctions? #448812anxvarietyParticipantIt is occupied by only him.
What do you mean by time to clear it out? The auction date is middle September. Is that BS? Assuming the auction happens and someone buys it that day, is there a mandatory period for him to be able to take his stuff out? Seems like I will need to go pick up my stuff soon.
Friend is just completely worn down, so he has little information and I think is just shellshocked (he’s been in the house for 10+ years). So if there’s anything that he should be doing I would appreciate that advice to pass on too. He still thinks he will get assistance from whatever the relief program is. He is a business owner and just bleeding everywhere and they already denied him once because of something to do with this expenses? He said it didn’t get approved but he believes their information was incorrect since so re-applied.
