It's possible I've just gotten good negotiators or asset managers, but my BoA short sales have actually been going quite smoothly recently.That said, historically they're very difficult, and we've been struggling with them over a bankruptcy issue for one of our sellers recently, and they are being ridiculously difficult.

I do feel an experienced agent is the ticket to making a fast/smooth sale, I was only curious to see if it were worth the extra work to do it ourselves soley for more profitable intentions.

I have been working with the family to allow a smooth transition for all involved.

Knowing that ahead of time and letting him know you know it may help smooth the situation over.I'm quite surprised there is not a 30-day notice clause somewhere in the lease as that is pretty standard, but if it isn't there then what you've provided points to you not owing him anything past 12/16 in my opinion.

Everything was going along smoothly, until just before we were scheduled to close I was told that it would be delayed a couple of weeks for the seller to obtain the Foreclosure Due Process Certificate which was required by the title company.

After that let dry for 24 and sand nice and smooth for painting.All the sludge needs to be disposed according to law, which can get pretty expensive.

Make sure you spread either of these smoothly and evenly to minimize final step because they are much more difficult to sand than drywall mud.Post back if you gave any more questions.Good luck

Has anyone used America's Auction Network to purchase property and how smooth was the transaction?

Starting with the moment a seller calls and is interested in selling their house.I know there are plently of scenerios, but I'm looking for what the average, smooth deal would go like.

No wonder we are in a RE meltdown.Too many people are trying(& buying) that have NO money.Bad things happen guys.You need cash to smooth out the unexpected.2.I'm guessing 99% of the people here own NO RE.I have read only a few posters who i'm sure have real world experience3.Too many people jumping into RE blind.4.People who buy books,cd's,dvds & attend seminars are idiots.A few final thoughts...Bad things happen.You WILL buy a property with a HUGE unexpected problem.Plan for it.You will have a renter smear feces on the wall the day before eviction.You are the ENEMY in almost every tenants eyes.
