At $35/search if you buy a bulk package it won't break the bank.

If you are going through a portfolio lender, they not give you a hard time with transferring the ownership post sale as Michael stated, but the lenders that package and sell your loan will most definitely give you issue. 

If you show up in a honda civic and the car is loaded with McDonalds packages.... you will look bad. 

@ Chris K - yes - me either - I have actually had to kick people out of my yard - and it wasn't even vacant - I caught a delivery guy taking a piss in my garbage area and kicked him out made a guy trash digger leave my house cause he was leaving garbage all over and getting beligerant and telling he did this every single day and it was his job and that he knew everything we ate , drink , and threw away - when he would not stop  - I physically closed the lid on his arm and removed him from the areamade some guy drop  a package he was trying to take away from my multiplex when he could not identify himself or why he was taking it .. saying that it was his " cousins"  - made him drop the box.. he said  " i was gonna feel stupid when i found out i was wrong later... "  that never happened - it was my tenants packageI could actually go on and on .... in retrospect ..

has anyone ever worked with or have any feedback for 1800accountants packages?

All my new BP family...I am about to get a package deal of 6 houses  and three vacant lots.

Send me a package to look at.  

I also see various packages - what should be most helpful?

I'm a real estate investment manager in Tallahassee and I'm also looking to buy some wholesale deals to rehab & retail and rehab & lease up to package for our clients.

The only way you'd get a real answer is to go thru the short sale process again.....listed property, executed sales contract, short sale package along with financials submitted by the owner, etc.
