I was browsing some other message boards that I belong to and ran across a link regarding REOs.  There are a number of REOs still in my area, so is there a liability? Did any of you read this article?  This is something to be aware of.  http://www.inman.com/news/2008/07/24/lenders-stick-listing-a...
