I am almost thinking of a strategy where one routinely offers massive low ball buying prices in hopes of getting a small percentage of the deals.  

To be honest, I've just got the ball rolling on this project.  

Listen to the podcasts and check out the forums daily and I am sure you will find exactly what you need to get the ball rolling....P.S.

It seems to me your dissatisfaction is a bit unbalanced as it seemed both these agents dropped the ball.

Trustee seems to have dropped the ball.

Thanks Bill, what I meant was could we discuss a price where she would exercise that right.  

But I know BP is on the ball.

Of course being agents they earn a commission on the sales so its in their best interests to get the highest price possible and the banks are not accepting too many low ball offers.

How to best accomplish that will depend on your situation and goals, and the type of self directed plan that will work best for you.Caution must be exercised to establish the right plan structuring and track the individual participation of each IRA into an investment carefully.  

I understand it will vary but wanted a ball park so I have a better idea and can present this to a lender and I look educated.
