Regarding negotiating w/ the bank;  very rare nowadays for the banks to accept a price reduction but there's nothing to lose in asking

Feel free to give me a buzz if you would like to get together and talk about RE.

Nowadays they would call that child abuse.

My first apartment in Wicker Park is probably a gold mine nowadays.

Very first one I did I had to stay in and do the rehab because Freddie Mac slipped in a deed restriction the title company didn't catch until we went to do the second closing (they weren't same day, I was doing the loan and the lender was dragging their *** so I funded it for my borrower)You used to be able to double close, but its limited nowadays. 

It seems as a safe and good plan in long term... but what would happen if the economy cracks again (I dont see the economy such an stable thing nowadays) a % of people loses their jobs, the vacancy rate rises, and the values of the property goes down and you still have a big portion of your mortgage to pay?

Feel free to give me a buzz if you want to chat about how we structure things.Remember, the game changes greatly when you can do houses with 100% other people's money.

I'm excited about doing more short sales, seems like lenders are being more willing to move on numbers nowadays.
