You then tell them that you will turn the file over to your 'partner' who will follow up and work on a short sale.I and a few other investors I know avoid short sales as they can be a large drain on one's time.

What can be an issue is the hidden assumptions.You also have to be clear about the fee and if it will otherwise block the deal.

Great senior only neighborhood, the worst house on the block.

Hey everyone, new here on the block and in need of some info if available.

* The investor buyer will not occupy the property.I could lie and state that I intend to occupy the property, but would prefer not to take any chance that my realtor might be putting her neck on the chopping block if this is the case.

Particularly if they buy blocks or bulk purchases.

EricRefinancing can be blocked if the property was listed for sale in the prior X days or weeks.Not all Realtors are all that savvy as to the best way to deal with a pending foreclosure.So, two valid reasons that refinancing might not have been in the cards when the listing was created with seller financing being offered.John Corey

So, I do not have much experience.I want to take the leap into Real Estate Development.A few blocks from my house, at a busy 4 way intersection, across from a small strip mall, are three un-occupied and sad looking houses, all in a row.

While even these "star" markets will be working their way through a period of price adjustments or a lengthier listing period at least their core fundamentals are sound.Those home owners who are unable to pay their upwards adjusted mortgage payments and who have not been able to re-negotiate their loan terms with their Note holders will assuredly become "tomorrow's renters".It's already started in many areas... rental availabilities are rapidly shrinking = a strong potential for investors willing to build SFRS for rental or for "sale" under Lease with Option to Purchase contracts, 2-4 unit multi-family and new apartment complexes.In Myrtle Beach and parts of Charleston (SC) developers of recently completed condos are now replacing unresponded to FOR SALE signs with "Lease with Option to Buy" signs and are now actually seeing evidence that strategy is WORKING.Savvy real estate investors are targeting "spec" builders with unsold inventory that has become a "money drain" in terms of interest carry and are buying SFRs for 10% - 20% below actual cost to complete.
