How can I find out if my neighbor bailed out on their mortgage?

well if that's the case, have her do the work pro bono.

and you can tip her for her time/services, pro boner  

H8R, this site isn't very reliable, but it's the best you'll get for free, and it's kinda fun to poke around if you have some spare time.

zillow.com

 something me and you can agree on.

except lose the spanish, you're saying all is fire

MIght as well capitalize on the situation

Here in PA, there's some funky law about 'common usage' or something, not sure what it's called, and really find it hard to believe, but i was told if i use land adjoining mine for 7 years as if it were mine, it becomes mine

I have a kickass exMark commercial mower, and i've been widening my property for 2 years . Gonna plant some peach and apple trees on that extra land, what's the worst that could happen?

Happens ALL the time.  In residential land, nobody every wants to spring for a survey so it hardly comes up unless you are in a fancy neighborhood.  In commercial land, it is a daily thing.  A an old vacant piece of property and let's say a driveway, or gravel road gets moved for convenience.  Ten years later, nobody knows where the line is.

Surveyer's do though... for the most part unless you are really in the sticks.

As far as the 7 year rule, check on that.  I don't think that really works.

My clients would argue with you that I bring quite a bit of value to the table. Not all have the knowledge that you do. I have helped many avoid foreclosure, and am out busting my ass to get young people into affordable foreclosed homes, and to put investors into the market to absorb the existing excessive inventory to help ensure neighborhoods have people living in their homes. I give speeches at the local high school advising on the importance of good credit, volunteer for community suppers, go to Board of Supervisor meetings to make sure private property rights are protected, and on and on. Give us a break man, the market is really tough. It's not as easy as it seems to be in real estate. Cheers

Not trying to be a dick, because i'm sure that some have good intent, and you sound like you might be one of them

just sayin'

So, Is now a good time to buy?

Would rather be buying than selling right now.

If you buy a house today, it will be worth less tomm.

If you sell a house today, it will be worth less tomm.

Why would you rather be buying than selling

I know the ridiculous over-supply sucks if you are selling, and helps if you are buying, BUT that's about the only thing that i can think of that's advantageous to buyers and sucksdick for sellers.

Other than that, it's falling knives, and i'd rather be throwing them than catching them
