Some options are:Develop a strong relationship with one RealtorGet access to the local MLS by becoming a realtor or appraiser.Use one of the pay services like realist, real quests, Hains criss cross etc.

Use a property data service like RealQuest or Haines Criss-Cross for your comps.

I guess cross-checking is a lost art.....

This sounds about right...Binding agreement doesn't occur until all the contract is fully executed (all signatures are there, all T's are crossed and I's are dotted).

They have never cross referenced my copy with the reciepted version.

There's not enough information here to evaluate the deal, but one thing is clear -- you're bordering on mortgage fraud by increasing the loan amount above the sales price and pulling cash out.If the cash-out part of the transaction is not disclosed on the HUD (or made clear to the lender), you could potentially face some serious legal issues if you get caught.As for the deal, what are the anticipated rents?

Less available due to banks holding them.We also have more people coming across the border because of problems there.

Do what is necessary to complete this deal and you will understand what will be needed for these cross country deals.

Not literally, but I know that if your working in low value neighborhoods I would not cross any major streets, railroads, and stay as close to the subject home as possible...

I can cancel the listing B to C) and release the option (A to B) where I could just relist the property with the agent that brought me the deal , and sell it under a traditional listing and cross our fingers that we get 3/4 of our listing office commission.Any advise as to what the bank is looking for in a price where they'll negotiate again?
