(assuming they don't look to busy or come off as angry or irritable) I tell them I am interested in buying property in the area and then just chat for a minute and give them my card.

Ok, here is a question I know that many of you would love to answer. But, here is the deal...

Why are Realtors such a bad thing, and is there anyway I can turn the tide? Can I become the exce...

It looks like with every passing day that it is getting worse, in my opinion, as the congress tries to set prices in the market for these terrible securities.I feel like we are so close to getting to the bottom of this and being able to figure it out.I mean here I am, about to buy a condo that probably has one of these "toxic" mortgages associated with it, where there was no income verification, no money down, etc.

We could not have this converasation in the open in Russia, China, Berkley, :lol: CaThis thread is a bit toxic, why focus on this part of the correction?

just stop making payments; it will take them 3-5 months to initiate foreclosure ( it starts with " notice of default"); but in the meanwhile congress will passs the BAILOUT; then uncle sam will buy your " toxic" note for something like 30 cents on a dollar; after that - most likely - uncle sam will " modify" your loan ( how'bout zero interest plus knocking off 65% of principal - would'n you make that kind of payment ?)

Assume it will happen, account for it in your math, and it will be a irritating situation instead of a devastating blow.And yes, when your rental (and lease options are really just rentals) is vacant you still have to make your payments.

I want to go in at 80% but my agent wants me to go in at 95%. secondly, i'm getting irritated at time wasted from going to many properties that have NO appeal to me.

Russia's northern coastline has begun producing huge qualities of toxic methane gas.

Don't mean to alarm you, but there are some molds now that are of the toxic variety.

The realtor seems irritated that we have to work with an FHA loan since I have to ask for up to 6% back in closing costs.
