It does have that unique look, but I would probably get rid of it because it is right in the middle of that space preventing you from using that space better.

A month later, you're probably right.

If loan balance is $300k and it's worth $400k and an equity partner puts $40k to bring it current then they have about 40% of equity in the property - now they would not take straight $40k as probably more costs involved.

I started my Career in Lake County Ca. and half that county burned down over the last 10 years.. probably 2k homes got destroyed so not as epic as say the fires in Napa and Sonoma. 

Honestly, unless you’re in a high-end market where buyers or renters expect it, dropping thousands on a sprinkler system probably isn’t your best ROI move—especially if the property has been sitting for months.

Since you are showing EXACTLY how to play this game, it seems you would include terminology that would point me EXACTLY to the call to action that you are trying to market.I'm probably missing something here.

Looking back and seeing that they came back so quickly we probably could have stayed at that number, but I did raise the new offer to $152,000 net to HUD. 

You will probably need to find a small team / indie broker.

You will probably have more of them here than most places so ask them what was involved and how long it took.

If they have the money they pay. if they don't have the money an automatic payment fails and probably charges them an overdraw fee making them a little LESS able to pay you.
