One brand has lower UL-rating but touts their manufacturer rating - compare based on UL-ratings only is what I'm getting at.

I wonder if the hedge fund is the same one that is touted to invest in the bulk REO deals that are being pitched by various fee-based REO guru sites on the web.

I didn't know lawyers were here to scare the sh*t out of us lol.

I almost despise my spreadsheet format that I use to track my deals, but this is the most highly touted method for managing deals in the pipeline.

If she is getting 17 to 1 letters against the Health Bill and still touts the Health Bill, she is the one who doesn't get it.

The City Center project had been touted as the savior of Las Vegas for a couple of years until recently.

Today the Realtor touted, "I work for the best interest of the homeowner and you don't" - I'm really ready to throw in the towell on this one.

The bank or investor who owns the property wants the report to meet certain guidelines or controls such as comps within a 1/2 mile radius.In many cases though there might not be recent sales that close unless it is an urban market but many of these bpo's are in suburban to rural markets.So what usually happens is you go back and forth with QC who is an hourly paid employee for the mill and after putting in a ton of remarks it gets passed.From there the BPO mill puts everything in a nice little package and send of to their customer.I will try to make the rest of this post short but can take this much deeper in detail if anyone has interest.Usually from the time of ordering the BPO it will take a few weeks to get back to the bank.Banks use BPO mills because they do not have the time to locate agents all over the country.Instead they pay a certain amount per order to the mills and the mills pay a reduced fee to the brokers/agent completing them.There are hundreds of mills out there to work for as a broker/agent and you are an Independant Contractor cutting checks every 2 weeks to a month.With BPO's you will here these investor guru's touting these strategies that they will work and the BPO can come back in plus or minus ten percent which on a 400k property could be 440k or 360k which could be an 80k swing in value when the bank makes a decision.The reason you hear off and on information is because of the following.When the market was hot 5 to 6 years ago banks and mills had to beg brokers/agents to do bpo's.Most brokers and agents were doing many sales and didn't have time for them. sales and comps were easy to find.I could do a 24 hr exterior rush on a new subdivision home sale and get paid 130 to 150 bucks.

They pull this (pun fully intended) on every political thread and then later come back touting their "influence".

I was always wondering who was the evil owner next door, he touted the $100K purchase price the $50k of renovations, the 50K cash out at the refinance of the property with an appraisal showing $50k in equity left in the deal.
