@Augusta Owens first, thank you for your service!

I am not acting in an agents role as I am providing the service to help the owners sell their assets, while enabling the buyer to acquire cashflow positive deals that banks are not providing with current rates.

and I was just one little mortgage guy with 450 loans out.. can you imagine the banks with hundreds of thousands of loans and servicing companies.. so having mass equity or paid for keeps this from ever being an issue. then when I sold these off.. most for cash but a lot I did a 30 to 60 month ZERO interest deal on.... and boy you should have heard the cash flow cool laid drinkers..

I continue to wonder why Fair Housing has a provision for ESA which are not trained, certified service animals.

If you prefer to be hands-off with full-service management, then I'd plan on paying around 20% commission as that's pretty common.

Having a lease in place will help you as well - some lenders won't refi a vacant property.For your refi, you're usually looking at 75-80% max LTV with a debt service loan.

Make sure you have properly served the notice and you have "Proof of Service" properly filled out. 

@Jay HinrichsPre-reo was owned by AHP servicing (plenty about them on here), this platform was homes that had yet to be foreclosed on (I think they were reverse mortgages) that they would sell and manage for investors.they would also finance it at 12%+ rates.

The lender did not use a servicing company, and the pay history is being contested (which should be easy to prove)2.

A good friend of mine has a real estate related service business he wanted to scale.
