Current online programs are VERY LIMITING....most PM pros who manage SFRs use PROMAS rental management program....it can integrate with HomeRentals.net website for rental marketing, posting owner/tenant statements, ACH AND next spring it will allow for tenant screening...It has contact management capability AND can install copies of word documents

Many companies would consider modifying the loan terms if the mortgage allows in case of hardship.If you sell the home to a friend there is no guarantee that you would be capable of buying it back in two years.

Tourism here is in it's infancy and has been growing steadily since the cruise ship industry arrived here.

I hear that building rocket ships and chinese arithmatic is hard, though I've tried neither.

It will be re-assigned to another broker/agent on their list.Listing residential REO ship sailed long ago.Many of my broker friends have stopped listing for banks and work on the buy side more as they pick up a bonus.On the REO side you get hit with BS certifications from asset companies wanting hundreds of dollars a year to be a MEMBER and POSSIBLY land a listing.When you do it's a POC (piece of crap) and you have to outlay a money with rekey and trashout,cash for keys etc. in some cases and wait for the money to be paid back to you.If you have a buyer for the property try to deal with FNMA.If you are just after a listing you need to go with a big reo brokerage already established and be a buyers broker.As local and regional banks have told me they get calls almost everyday from agents wanting to list their REO's.I am more valuable as I focus on the commercial side so they don't get as many of those specialized types.If you are the broker you can go to the local banks and offer to do it cheaper for volume and land business that way.Thanks

The key is to have the proper team in place such as a title/escrow company familiar and capable of back to back closings, an attorney, to properly advise you and construct your documents for full legal disclosures and verbiage in your documents, and a quality transactional funder.With all of that, you can successfully complete short sale transactions.

I am a Commercial Agent who has very capable residential agents.Showing positive absorption on the commercial side (office/retail/industrial)Residential market is stable with a large number or foreclosure and bank owned properties.

If you can find an agent that is capable of completing a short sale then have them do the work if the homeowner is not willing to.

There are tons of scheisters and scammers out there pretending to be capable Bulk folks.Regardless, we're looking forward to having you on board and hope to see you around in the long term.
