I don't think it's that they want to own the real estate, Steve.  I'm sure they would rather have collected the interest due on the contract.

And furthermore, I have little doubt that the numbers Infinity is spouting are truthful.  If you figure, loosely, 35,000 divided by 20 business days =  1,750 orders per day, further divided by 3,000 counties (and parishes) it amounts to 0.583 orders per county per day. 

I don't know who controls Infinity, but I wiol bet your paycheck that they are controlled by a U.S.A.-based company, or a U.S.A;. consortium, that has access to a lot of business here.  This is not the result of a couple of guys in Bombay sittin g around over a couple of beers thinking how great it would be to get into the American abstracting racket.    I know that you knew this already, but maybe a reminder was in order.

P.S.  My math may be fuzzy, as it is Friday night and I have had a couple of cocktails made of hops (and skips and jumps, too!)
