Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Real Estate Properties Needing To Get Rid Of

I have several investment properties that I can no longer afford due to being swindled out of over $100,000. What do I do about getting rid of them? I have tried to sell them but have been unsuccessful to date. I cannot seem to find an attorney who can deal with this situation. Thank you for your help.

You may wish to consider personal bankruptcy if the situation warrants it. Alternatively, you can consult several more attorneys and you should be able to find one who can work with you to try and resolve your situation either by negotiating deeds in lieu of foreclosure, extensions of time to pay the loan, refinancing the debt, or simply allowing the property to be foreclosed upon.

A qualified real estate attorney should be able to advise you regarding your situation.
