Sorry, I have been looking around the site and just returned.I am located in North Eastern Iowa - the heart of corn country.Twittering and Facebook are on my agenda but I just keep placing other thing ahead of those things.I have so much to learn!

My heart goes out to them.

Be very careful.It's even more dangerous negotiating thru a middle man who is surely motivated by profit and does not have you are the home owner's best interest at heart.

MikeOH - Eat your heart out :wink:

I love a heart pounding, thrill seeking, pee in your pants ride as much as the next person, but really, the older I get the more I think do I really want to have my life in the hands of a 16 year old ?

Yes, a true CO girl at heart!!

So for $20 a month I can fax and receive as many faxes as my little heart desires.

hi ivanI can only give you one piece of adviceif you think its fraud and you are willing to do that you can find lots of ways around and getting the deal done the question for me are you willing or wanting to do that.the most important thing in busiess and really the only thing in business is your own intergretty so if you are will to accept a deal that on the face of it would for me damage mine I would not do the deallegal or illegaleven deals that are legal that damage that respect I would not dobecause at the end of the day no matter how many deals I dothat respect or that reference of clients or even agents is some thing that i want.so for me is this dodgy as I say and is it going to damage my core valuesand if this one does not yours it does minebut that just meif you are going to try to undercut a mortgagee or funder is going to the heart of investingthe person group or company that you are undercutting is the same group I have to try to find funding from.a bank can and does make a loss and they sell at a discount.but it make the job of a negotiator hell of alot harder to do when things like above turn up as funder think that these are not arms length transactions.so for me if the property was going to you and only you and the vendor was getting zip thats fine by me.as soon as you get to giving money back and not disclosing to a funder that will come back to bite you not the vendor on the rear endas you will want funding at some stage in your live and funders don't like that sort of this and tahts why I say in all your dealing my view is honesty is the best policy

It nearly gave him a heart attack.

I must find an end buyer before I get an approval from the lender or I will give myself heart attack.
