This is especially true when there are a number of players involved. 

Memphis's downtown area is being redeveloped by several big out-of-state developers, and that shows that major players have decided that Memphis is a market worth pouring money into.

Which I personlly think will be a win-win situation for both the community and myself.

I will refi/ cash out next week and pay him off, the familes have homes while I work on their credit "win, win, win, win".

I think that a lot of people and institutions are waiting to see who wins and in which direction the country is going to go.

You cant win if you dont shoot the ball!"

You can waste a lot time on this or you can actually do real estate :)Banks are not going to talk to you unless your a HUGE player and even then you would be buying on QCD - the fact your asking this question tells us your not a huge player - and when I say HUGE player like your one of 10 people in the country who can do this.Auctions are your best bet or pre-foreclosures lists but your not really going to be chatting with the banks much.You can try to create a relationship (which means buying from them over and over) with a broker who handles them.

I fear that the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the White House may decide who wins and who loses in the capital markets over the next three to five years.

Win-Win!
