I am an REO listing agent and I get this question asked probably weekly from local agents that know someone who knows me. Long story short: you are wasting your time. They will not call you, or sell it to you without listing it with their agents first.

find a hard money lender, qualify with them. Get approved and use their approval to write your offers. I am an REO listing agent and see this tactics used by many investors. Legal and ethical

What companies do you use? What is the "norm" commission split out there? My current one is 60%, but my utilities bills are higher then what that check pays. Was just wondering what the going rate in the industry is.

Thank you

It's mildew and not mold, we had it looked at. She just needs to get off her rear and clean it. It's a cinderblock building. Unit right next to her doesn't have ANY issues. Spoke to him today and he was as happy  as can be. I spoke to complaining tenant and gave her an option to break her lease if that's what she was looking for. She got scared and said where will I go? I like this complex I just don't like my neighbor across from me, and I don't want him anywhere near my place.  Well sh$t that's not my problem. Glad I narrowed that down.

Her boyfriend just showed up and told my contractor that she is building a case to sue me. We have fixed the problem she told me on Friday that she is very happy, but still being pain in the butt over not sure what. He mentioned that she wants to be out of the lease. I called her and said that your boyfriend just called and mentioned all this and said that you want out of the lease. If that is the case let me know and I will be ok to terminate it for you. She said I don't want to sue anyone I just want it fixed etc.. Even though it has been fixed. Not sure what else to do here.

Hello,

I have a tenant that moved in few months ago. We fully remodeled her unit and she called me to inform that her shower is leaking and mold is growing on the wall. Contractor went out and caulked the door instructed her not to use it for 24 hrs and of course she did. Problem came back we fixed it again told her to not shower and she did. She emailed me again last night that there is "mold" looks like mildew though, and there is a bit of water coming again. Can I break her year lease? We might need to get in there and take that whole shower apart. It's a 5 day job. If she can't wait for caulk to dry for 24 hrs she won't be able to have no shower for 5 days. Also her boyfriend called and threatened me with a lawsuit that I haven't been able to solve that problem and I had my fair amount of time to do it. Any advice appreciated. Thank you
