Learn to identify and assess zombie foreclosure problems and create best practices for handling them.
While Nevada continues its journey out of the real estate crisis, one of the many issues that has arisen is the problem of 'zombie foreclosures' and their impact on our communities. This topic will explain what a 'zombie foreclosure' is and discuss some of its causes. Moreover, this material will discuss the State of Nevada's three-pronged approach to addressing the problem of 'zombie foreclosures.' The topic will review how the legislative response impacts all of the constituencies to a home, including lenders, homeowners, homeowners associations, municipalities and others. You will gain a better handle on how to identify and assess your own zombie foreclosure problems and to create best practices for handling them.
