Many in RE actually have an unspoken business model of feeding off new agents or new investors, expect to be "used" by someone someday, you may not even realize it but it's almost the dues we pay in learning.

There was a feeding frenzy last spring, good to sell our flip into, but bad to get more inventory.

You can take the 240 volt feed going to your stove and convert it to two 120 volt outlets using a common neutral, which in older homes can very helpful in small breaker boxes.

I agree with @Larry Chafe , getting a seller to contribute to "feeding a negative cashflow" but if the seller wants to avoid a short sale, with all the negative connotations of a short sale (hurts your credit - FICO, you have to declare on US Govt employment and loan forms that you went through a foreclosure, the IRS may "claw back" and say you owe money on the short sale, etc), but...It is not impossible.

While we hate to intentionally take BP offline, this is a necessary evil.Beginning tonight at 11pm PST tonight, 1/9/13 we'll be completely offline for potentially a few hours, but we expect to be back up and running tomorrow morning for everyone.If you're one of our night owls, you can always get your BP fill through our YouTube Channel or by listening to our Podcast.Thanks for the understanding!

Might as well do other investment channels at that low.
