“Well if you don’t believe me, you can check with blah blah blah…” I don’t have to check, a habitually honest person would not protest that much.

But you've increased the odds significantly in your favor by properly forming and maintaining a corporation or LLC for your business rather than going out into the world alone, unarmed, and unafraid.

Try to cut expenses by protesting taxes, modifying your insurance coverage, etc.

I'm not sure the bank would even allow you to charge the seller the difference -- on the HUD, the bank would protest, and POC you'd be breaking the short sale affidavit you signed saying there were no financial agreements other than what was disclosed on the HUD.It's all well and good that you take a hard stance with the bank -- and it's great if they cave and you get your desired commission -- but arguing that you have any legal right to a certain percentage doesn't make sense to me; and implying that you'd forego the transaction or charge your client the difference seems flat out unethical for a short sale.Again, as a licensed agent myself, I'm thrilled if you can get every possible penny from the bank, but your stance seems a bit too ideologic here, as opposed to doing what's best for your client.Just my $.02...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I'm not going to attack your equity or investing strategy :protest: The problem is that FNMA has a rule (and they are really the only ones buying anything in the secondary markets these days) that says you can own a max of 10 properties.

Maybe we should be protesting the election of Obama or the magical votes now appearing in the MN Senate race.BTW, this whole mess exists because government stuck its nose into the issue of marriage so they could tax it through licenses and then give tax benefits in the interest of promoting "family".This is all just so silly.
