And can Simone help with thinking through the numbers?

@Simon Campbell : what is the difference between a BPO/Brokers Price Opinion and a CMA/Comparative Market Analysis, which I can get from a local Realtor?

Originally posted by Simon Campbell:the seller's pay the agent's commissionI hate it when I hear that statement.

I don't do section 8 but 1 of my places has some neighbors who are. on the program. last summer, 1 evening, i was trying to rent out the place; there was a nice couple w/ a baby coming over to look at the unit. they were outside & I met them. the neighbor, section 8, with her door wide open, was singing (very badly i might add) at the top of her lungs. maybe she was hoping simon cowell was stopping by?

Simone Cole makes a good point.

Thanks Simon for the tip.

Hey Simon,You're right, the 2nd rarely bids because the 1st is usually way above FMV anyway.

Hi Simon,What size building are you looking at??

Hi Simon,Thanks for your reply.

John, I believe Simon is referring to REO's already listed for sale on the open market.
