I do think if I were able to go back in time, I would like to be raised in this type of environment.

If you cannot get the deal closed in time you risk your deposit and if the re-auction it for less you may be liable for the difference.

Currently, VRM has been awarded the contract for selling VA, though PRIMELENDING has been awarded the lending contract and will in time be offering VENDEE financing again.

At that point in time, if I do not cancel, I will be forfeiting my EMD.

I've got 2 sales pending for clients right now that fit into that 2% category, a duplex pending for about 70% of list after only 3 weeks on the market (because the listing agent screwed up on pretty much all the numbers, and everyone else is apparently waiting for him to drop the price before they submit an offer), and a SFR listed at $279,900 -- the only house for sale in a super-desirable little neighborhood of 36 homes -- we now have pending for $195K, but only because we were intimately familiar with and helped shape the story.As an agent, Yes it's my job to get my clients the properties they want, but it's also my job to avoid wasting ridiculous amounts of theirs and my own time chasing no-chance deals.

You may think you're out of the deal, but I suspect you'll be hearing from the buyer, and not in a pleasant way.

But there will come a point in time, whether it is 10, 20 or maybe 1,000 rentals when the investor realizes that unclogging a toilet is just not the best use of his/her time.

A good working relationship with all of your social support entities is important, it's often better to partner than compete.LOL, I saw Pleasant Grove, my mind computed Pleasant Hope and Fairgrove at the same time, then I realized you're in Utah....Keep us posted on the progress, don't forget the golden parachute!

I would go to eLance.com, post a broad listing of what you "think" you want, and when the replies start pouring in, you can ask more questions at that point in time and essentially get yourself a free consultation from experts.Of course, "experts" is pretty subjective, but the good thing with eLance.com is that the people all have customer feedback, so if you are talking with someone who has great feedback, your confidence level in their advice can obviously go way up (and vice versa).

Thanks everyone for coming out, small intimate group again.
