Some trusts even have a "poison pill provision" which you can use AGAINST the plaintiff if neccessary.To no name in Manhattan.

Honestly, I'm not interested in paying cash on this deal, it's too slim considering the local market.

If this is a large institution the odds are slim versus a local bank that owns the loan.You just have to walk away sometimes onto something else.

This reminds me of the saying buy when there's blood in the streets.It has been slim picking.

Rarely is there a bidding war on a short sale but with the overall housing market so slimmed down on inventory, we are seeing a few more offers thrown into the ring.  

I've heard some people on here talking about doing flips in L.A and having pretty slim profit margins .

Only way I would do that is if YOU HAD flood insurance and they were denying it.. but if you do not have flood insurance and fema does not have a responsibility to cover non owner occ.. then that's the risk of being an investor.. you have to deal with it as bitter of a pill that is to swallow.

Even that seems like such a slim margin given the amount of risk and capital.

Factor in rehab and assignment fee and this already is a slim "deal" or really a no deal.

@Daniel 50k in remediation expenses on a deal worth 1.4 million seems like a pretty minute hiccup on that deal I can't imagine the profit margin on that deal would be slim enough to collapse a deal over 50k... but I understand what your saying for sure and is a very valuable point.
