I'd suggest just writing in any offer the right to do an inspection, which you can then do yourself and then sign off on it / wave it.

So, as they haul the perp way, he waves at you, saying, "See you next week!"

It is very efficient, much less cost that traditional electric heat and is heats with far infared waves which heats objects not air. 

If a seller thinks you’ll take forever to close or give them a potential headache over a repair or beat them up on the price ..they’ll go with who has the first benjamins waving in the air instead

Though I can probably get a couple more portfolio loans right now, that only further ties down my ability to get a larger primary residence DTI-wise.I'd like to come up with a mechanism by which I can buy properties Freddie/Fannie, then "bank" them into a corporation every few years and start anew with another wave of purchases.

Current lender can wave appraisal fee, lender I worked with on another loan can give me $500 off the next one, etc. etc.   

Bryan not a chance.In some micro markets things have always been stable and have the least problems to work through and are the first to recover.This has already happened with markets that didn't experience much of a dip to begin with.With 700,000 properties of shadow inventory and 4 million more foreclosure filings in the works I don't think we are anywhere close to being out of the woods.What would create a partial turn around is if the interest rates started rising and went into the 6's.That combined with the summer months would make many buyers jump off the fence because of fear of not acting.That would make the banks release more property in slow waves and get rid of some of the backlog in many areas.Most home builders won't start new ground projects and get permits until they see the bank supply going down.They will just work on custom one off builds for buyers who have cash.In my market I think we are a few years off from recovery.

@Xing Zhu.....As for a stock trader, I think it is prudent to allocate 1/3 of his capital in real estate, and the remaining 2/3 in stock trading....I'm on similar wave length minus the stock trading.

Tattoes on the butt - that's the wave of the future!!!

They can come begging to me with their money waving in their fist all day long.
