I am working a short sale with them and they are the slowest lender i have dealt with. just curious if anyone out there has dealt with them and what your outcome was.

Is this just the slowest route?

People used to tell me that December was their slowest time… I believed them, since they all were complaining about it… So guess what?

The goal is 10 over the next 2 years;- Found out that the one portfolio lender in Atlanta (at least the only one I know about) stopped lending on rehab properties, so my major source of leverage was cut off;- Raised $150K in private money...a first step to replacing some of the leverage lost when my bank stopped lending;- Put 3 properties (to be flipped) under contract, though one fell out of contract during due diligence;- Haven't been able to get a contract on the one property we've had listed for about 3 weeks;- Despite lots of offers, haven't been able to get contracts on any of the other properties that we've had listed for other investors (one of the slowest months I've seen for buyers in several years);- Got lots of "nasty" emails from blog readers asking why I've slowed down my posting... :(- Had the IRS issue a ruling on my use of a large chunk of my retirement funds -- they determined that I get to keep my money

I agree with you that winter is the slowest time to rent. 

Lewiston feels like the slowest gentrification possible.

If you get an appraisal in Feb, they can only consider Oct-Feb sales... which for us midwest states is the slowest selling season.

The last 20 days is typically the slowest market of the year, both for sales and rentals. 

Millington is one of the slowest moving in the area.

Often, the last couple of % of the work is the slowest as the subs don't want to make the trip to the site just to take care of some finishing touches, so it drags on.
