Now my list includes all the evictions within the past 3 months Code Violations: I have a pending list of all the code violations within the last year.

If you are still seeing homes go pending quickly, then it's probably for a reason. 

These items were corrected over 3 weeks ago and the lender notified me the buyers are ready for loan docs pending the final inspection by the appraiser.

"CoreLogic Expects Short Sale Fraud Prevention Tool to Catch On"http://www.biggerpockets.com/links/6844Excerpt from this link:To prevent short-sale fraud before closing, the new tool matches loan details against other pending loan applications in the consortium database and public records for the same property.

If the property has been foreclosed upon but has not yet been auctioned, you could attempt to track down where to make the offer whether it is directly to the bank, unlikely, or pending at a real estate office, more likely.

In order for that to be acceptable it must begin with a written notification that states the pending sale, and that the LL may later request specific dates verbally.

As an added bonus the listing agent (also a very well known, familiar face in the local RE market) has been fined in past for poor practices such as posting a house as "Pending" before it hit the market.

The last thing they want to do is take back a project they have to finish to get their money back.For me at least, they still did a credit check to confirm no recent foreclosures, pending bankruptcy, or tax liens.Good luck!

I went ahead and added the pending house for $145/sqft into the equation which ends up making the 7 sold properties $111/sq ft.If you click the pictures in the CMA of the SOLD houses you can see the images of the interiors.
