Unless the trustee wants to show up to the closing table with cash for the difference.If the estate has to go through probate, that will delay the ability to list the property.If the trustee isn't making payments, the property will never make it through a lengthy shortsale.If this was a reverse mortgage, the trustee will only have a year to figure something out or else the bank will just take the home.

hey @Shaun Morgan , I don't have too much experience in this field so DEFINITELY take my opinion with a pound of salt, but from my education in entrepreneurship and from what research on the topic I have done, when it comes to private investors it is less about what info you bring to the table on the first visit and more so how you approach the situation.

They are currently fighting tooth and nail with the lender to use the last appraisal (the appraiser is an accepted on for the lender) in an effort to keep the deal alive.Just tossing out my opinion from the other side of the table with a low appraisal.

@Braden Smith @Taylor Murphy @Jason Watson @Sam BrooksI have a few deals on the table.

I bring lot to the table and don't just talk, I walk.  

I have a unique situation wherein the property is owned by 5 siblings and they all agreed they want the oldest sibling to sign everything on their behalf, so they want to complete a power of attorney form to give him the right to sign.

HELOCs do not cost much to set up, but give you the ability to bring cash to the table in a short period of time.

@Robert WalstonI haven't put down anything as yet...listings are going quickly here, before I can even get an offer on the table, the listing has multiple offers.Not joking, today, July 6th, received an email alert from an agent for multi-fams, texted realtor at 8am to put an offer on a duplex, she calls me 8:15am & says their deadline for offers was 5pm yesterday.

Greetings BP family.I have a deal on the table from a wholesaler. 

Go luxury sooner, so your commissions are higher than the sub-$300k stuff that a lot of Realtors are more comfortable doing and if you land a big listing, you could always partner with another more successful luxury Realtor who would be happy to co-list and cover the cost of the luxury marketing if you're bringing the listing to the table...Hope this helps!
