The best and safest way to get this answered, is for you to tell the Property Owner to talk to their CPA/ Attorney. You really need to be carefull offering tax/ legal advice without having the proper licenses. If you happen to give out the wrong advice you open yourself up to lots of trouble.

Too many people are out looking for someone to blame for their troubles. So, your well intented advice, might just get you into a world of trouble.

Michael,

Great job so far. And keep up the great work! When I decided to quit, it was very very hard. But, now that I have several years of not smoking, I am so glad I quit.

Tim,

Be prepared to talk to lots of Realtors. You will find more that do not want to work with you, than those that will work with you.

A great way to make sure everyone is on the same page, is to use a form that states all actions in the Short Sale and who will perform those actions. Have the party that is responsible sign for each action. So, if questions arise later on, you will have documented proof that all items were discussed.

Remember most people that work on commissions, can figure their "profits" quicker than you can say "go." Those same people also look at the fact that if they do not get that $ amount, someone is to blame. (That is why so many investors have been told that they cost that person commission, by buying low.)

I guess that I will be the only one here, but I personally thnk the Newsletter is a bit too long. I think that it containes a little to much info.

I am not sure how to "fix" it. I will have to spend some time and actually think.

I do like that Author Pics. That was an interesting add.

I will return when I have a constructive reply on how to "fix" things.

I had the same issue as Jackie. When we downloaded Skype, it slowed down the computer. So, I looked and saw that I reaily never used it, so I removed it.

I play around on this site all the time from my Blackberry. And yes, it does help pass time while I wait.

Yes, most Lender will want to see the LLC Docs. Also, the Title company will usually also want to see them.

I'm beginning to think people don't know how to vote to save their own skin, or they must be afraid to have to "register to vote" (well, ya, they do have to be registered users on BP to be able to vote, but ...)

Or maybe they are just plain tired of voting for Nick.
