They say they hire former loss mitigation folks from banks (pay commission for their work) and their hope is to do the short sale negotiating, paperwork etc.

So, I thought it might be a good idea, rather than getting "fat and happy" to mitigate my risk and hunt for additional opportunities.

The bank said they would accept after repeatedly calling to make sure that loss mitigation had it.

In the realm of tax savings strategies and methodologies that are approved by the IRS, why would anyone who owes AND pays income taxes NOT do whatever they can to LEGALLY mitigate them?

Both of these can be somewhat mitigated by selling closer to the owed amount.Therefore, it's in the seller's best interest to get as high an offer as possible, and if an agent refuses to present that offer, the agent is not only breaking real estate regulations but is also not fulfilling his/her fiduciary duty to the seller.

The answer is always the same (or should be) and that is, YES, BUT IF you buy right, know your market, and have a plan and means to execute it.The "R" word is a common word that comes up, the truth is, risk can be mitigated with the right strategy for the area and the right price for the investment.What do you want to do?

Make a web sight, some business cards, that makes it reputable. 3) Form your investment property as an LLC, because you can choose your taxation, and move it to an S-corp very easily if you later choose to, but you will have a hell of a time changing a S-corp into anything else. 4) Lend the funds from XYZ lending too XYZ properties, this mitigates all losses, creates returns, etc..

FEMA mitigation set the rates.

I'm just wondering if he had to go through some form of Loss Mitigation , but on a larger scale.

In each case a simple consistent policy helped mitigate or eliminate a legal proceeding.
