Short sales are not for the faint but you will do fine if you learn from every deal and pay attention to what is happening on the other side of the table.

I may also finish out the basement a bit, make a nice office and a pool table room, and there is already a place to put a staircase from the top level to bottom.

Closings are being held off or completely blowing up at the closing table due to the lenders.

What do you bring to the table besides a contract?

Have a look at the tax tables.

But that all depends on what you bring to the table for the lender that approves you for the loan.

And for those of you who don't know what it is then here it is in english: Table Pool!

If I have to fool anyone, this strategy won't be for me.My goal is to do this the way John Corey mentions above - by officially alerting the lender immediately so that everything is on the table.

gordo,Are you saying that in a double close you don't go to the table with any money??

I heard that double closing you(the whole saler) have to bring money to the table. correct me if I m wrong.
