Call his cell phone if your interested and tell him I referred you.

One area of concern for me is that whenever I call my agent's cell, she answers about 10% of the time so I leave a voicemail.  

The catch here is that you need to pay for a reappraisal if you think your sweat and blood have built up enough equity to qualify.  

when I was in this business we did both.. we never sent letters. we either called if we could find a number (much harder today with everyone having a cell phone) or we knocked doors..

Carriers often will run into permit issues when putting a cell tower up as homeowners will fight it through City Council.  

This is on a cash input of ~$220K and lots of sweat, a few tears, and also a little blood ;). 

Details matter in posts, none of this is what it seemed trailing in from each post.So, here is what we have that matters so far:Offer to Short Sale:  $240,000 ($80,000k cash on hand / the rest financed)First:  $700k will short at $211k (holy cow - blood bath)Second:  $75k will short at ????

There is no reason to fear living in an apartment/apartment building/MFH/whatever that's housed somebody who had Ebola (or, to be honest, who died and splattered their Ebola-soaked blood all over the floor).

(No new blood, no new money, no drive to improve the neighborhood or the schools.)What about the homeless?  

Is rehabbing in your blood- the actual doing of the drywall, pulling rotted flooring, getting in the messy of it?
