Enlist your Real Estate Agent to look up the comparables in the local MLS & make sure the appraiser is not using REOs that have been torn apart.Then look for Comps that are in similar condition to the properties that you are attempting to buy.

I've run into this and I've just enlisted the help of a realtor that is willing to accept 1% commission.

Trust me, I've been there.I've been in the Army 7 years and before I enlisted my credit stunk.

John no, but if I ever dabble in deals on wheels I'll probably enlist Mike Matthews to get me started.

Or maybe the wars we've been fighting are so unpopular that the military is desperate to sign up anyone who will enlist...even if they side with the enemy...

I've spoken with servicemen who despised fighting along side forced enlistments, men who were forced into service instead of jail.

I might look at stretching the balloon payment out to six years, two years left on his enlistment so that he could still qualify for a conventional loan.

Enlisting the listing agent is a good way to make friends.

Should I explain the situation to the BPO agent, who I don't know, try to enlist her as an ally?

I have a total of 5 years enlisted time here, and 4 years as an Officer.
