This reminds me of the saying buy when there's blood in the streets.It has been slim picking.

Honestly, I'm not interested in paying cash on this deal, it's too slim considering the local market.

Rarely is there a bidding war on a short sale but with the overall housing market so slimmed down on inventory, we are seeing a few more offers thrown into the ring.  

Seems slim.

Also if all the water is out of tank and it is dry, the odds that it all evaporated are slim, the odds are very high that you have a cracked tank, and my inspector would fail the system.

Here is my issue: The property is REO - so the odds of me getting the bank to agree to remove or pay for the removal of the tank is slim to none (closer to none).

The returns are too slim on flips for my liking, especially when you're putting down $500,000+ for a junker home an hour plus out of Sydney, sell it for $600,000, only to have $90,000 chewed up in contractor and local government costs.  

@Steve Miller I think your chances of achieving this are very very slim - it all starts with a call to the city planning and zoning department.

Margins are slim around here, and this is as nice a property as you see here. 

Didnt want everyone on the board to think all of us rural KS and plains states folks are all unstable living in squalor....ha.I agree - hard to make money when your margins are that slim, would make more sense if you lived close by and could own a handful of the homes and create some economies of scale.
