To be direct, yes that would totally influence my decision seeing as it's about a 20% difference in both my payment and monthly cash flow.

Don't let future scenario influenced you too much, because it may not play out.I personally try to avoid any investment that introduces an increasing cost (such as coop fees or HOA fees).

World events, the Fed's position on MBS's, and a variety of other items influence them as well.That being said, there are still, and will still be deals for investors both on the market and off market.

Otherwise, I would say focus on direct mail and networking with people of influence.

It may just be that the FHA has specific influence over banks and credit agencies to stonewall borrower attempts to dispute claims.

Just throwing out a thinking point that influenced my choices.

People generally know where that person falls in the structure and how much power and influence they are likely to have.Once outside the confines of a corporate structure where people can give themselves titles then I don't think it matters much if at all.

In my opinion, it's important not to let irrelevant variables such as back-up offers or the fear of a seller not accepting a counter influence your valuation process.

Predicting the real estate market is difficult because it is not only influenced by the national economy but the state and local economy.

Like children of the Depression, the traumatic events of their youth will influence their attitudes and behavior for a long time.
