Also, in Georgia there is an (again, IMO,) excellent teacher, Tony Youngs who specializes in teaching about the Hidden Market - foreclosures, bankruptcy, buying junior liens, etc. 

Mike M Do you really believe the stuff you write or is it just cliché gibberish you have copied from the back of a Tony Robbins book flap?

@Joe Gilroy it's almost impossible to set the standards for the property you will close on...the availability of inventory will dictate what you buy and where it's located...the odds of your "dream" property" actually existing are next to zero...and if you can locate it, maybe the condition or location is not where you want to be...I would keep more open criteria and when something gets close to your standard, jump on it.Your insurance provider should be able to draw an estimate from your "ideal" property you can use as a template.Best of luck

I do although know some banks that would potentially be willing to help you with the refinance part.Best,Tony

The original agreement predates Dodd Frank.Where can I find out the details as they pertain to NY and VT?

Interesting read fron agents Tony and Suzanne Marriott, on ActiveRain I recently completed an analysis of ARMLS (Arizona Regional MLS) data for 12 months of Short Sales.

Quote from @Tony Davis: Quote from @Taylor L.: It's all about relationships and off market deals.

Good point, Tony.
