This revelation of the true depths of the crisis bodes well for the bulk investor, it gives ammunition to the skilled negotiators out there who are doing short sales and single REO purchases, and it reminds us all that groups like the National Association of Realtors, that had an affirmative duty to protect us all is finding it increasingly difficult to spin their failures.

love all the naysayers trying to spin this great deal in a negative light, or at least diminishing it. 

My heads spinning, please help. 

Your family won't be purchasing it either unless they pay the total debt owed, cash or not.It's a spinning of the wheels to think you will be able to talk sense on the phone to a servicer.

Yes, I had to do some extra wheel spinning because I didn’t have 2 years of job and income history, but as long as your finances is in order - which is not a problem in your case, it seems - you should be good.Maybe it’s going to be easier for your wife, because of the W2 job.As far as the first 6 or so months go, as others suggested, you can be a hard money lander for other investors. 

You can spin it any way you want and you can add all of the caveats you want after the fact.

I apparently think it's not wise to be a SFH owner and you think it's not wise to do Airbnb arbitrage, and that's what keeps the world spinning I guess.Thanks!
