I was waiting for the part where the alarm system was installed by drug dealers cooking in the basement.

I once pulled out a Blue Book appraisal to show a dealer what they should be offering me...

I have 2 days to make a decision.On top of this, realtor is asking about $3600 on assorted fees (short sale admin fee, processing fee, document prep fee, courier fee, settlement fee etc etc etc) on top of the commission.From reading BP on various SS threads, there is not much room for negotiation because the amount was determined by BPO right or wrong and the decision to accept or reject is not a human decision but some formulaic thing - unless you can justify it with some major overlooked issues, correct?

As far as financing, it makes it harder, not easier.If you are doing flips you will want a different entity from your buy and hold, so that the IRS doesn't consider your buy and holds to be owned by a dealer.

Just make sure you pay it.You can learn something and meet some people working on a Habitat for Humanity house as well.

Either way, nobody is immune to drug dealers in a building...

One was so vile in its smell I swear there was a dead human in there as I've been unfortunate enough to smell a decomposing human before, we all gagged and ran out while the students were milling about (drunk.)

I spoke with the village inspector this morning and he tells me he can probably make the apartment "Unfit for Human occupancy" since they have food actively rotting in the refrigerator.

The site not only motivates me to help others, but also restores my faith in humanity.

I read the title to this thread and thought you were referring to a building inspector...I initially thought you were out for blood...which God knows City inspectors are not the most loved human beings on earth.
