@Peter Hammer welcome to the site.

I'm leaning towards doing it this way, it shows them that you have a heart, and then when the hammer comes down on month #2, they really have nothing they can say.

If I buy hazard insurance, then set a fire in the house or take a sledge hammer to the pipes, no insurance company is going to pay because I caused the damage intentionally.

Figure out where you stand now and then you can hammer a plan together.Do take a look at www.naca.com.  

Sure, but nobody ever took a hammer to the drywall.

@Tyler Libby just remember, every time you pick up a hammer you're only worth $25/hour (or more depending on the Tradesman but no where near as much as a RE Investor can make).What message do you leave when you call 20 people?

Point is, the world is not a big USA fan, and as we've had the sledge hammer of the USD to beat them into submission with, we did.

Foreclosure Moratorium panic, mid-term elections distraction, hammered with mailings, etc - could be a lot of factors.We're also coming into Holiday Season.
