:)I also ask what the BPO is everytime I get a Short Sale Rep on the phone, even though they aren't supposed to tell us...Eventually....Loose Lips Sink Ships.

So I will continue to work hard everyday and my "perfect mentor" :blush: will come in time Many have told me that the area I live in will be a difficult one, and they were not lying.

Ok, this is weird but I'm actually kinda nervous just introducing myself to the board :blush: lol.

Many times you will be prompted to give out your contract price, but keep tight lipped because you will often times receive a price very close to your contract price.

Although MikeOH used the words "moving their lips" rather than "talking" ...

The non-seller-SELLER is then put on a 3-way with the non-buyer-BUYER, while the IM's happily sign the MFA and hungrily lick their lips in anticipation of their soon-to-come riches.

They will ask for all kinds of documents from your pays lips to tax returns etc and with that there would be few restrictions too. whereas, a private lender can lend you with few days with 100% purchase price and rehab costs as well and there are few who will help you through the whole process as well.

Ironically, Lowes can typically beat a lumber yard with a "First blush" quote on commodity items like 2x4s.

At first blush, many of these expenses do not apply to my situation.

If a tenant's lips are moving - ASSUME THEY'RE LYING!!!
