So what if Chicago Cubs can't win a World Series, we beat out rest of the country when it comes to home price drop..lolAnyway, interesting article..I wouldn't have imagined Phoenix will be the one with price increase..

January was not an excellent month if it is only looked at from an income situation.

If someone brings me an excellent price lot in my area, I will purchase it to use myself not to flip.

Its a win/win.

Buyer is pre-approved for well over 140K from the bank because he has excellent credit, good income, with 6+ months reserves, <45 DTI, but does not have the 28K to get the deal done.Is there a creative way for me to sell this thing to my buyer with him not having to come to the table with the 20%?

Low balling the offer was an excellent way to go!
