A fellow member of the local Chamber of Commerce handles investment property loans and refi's.

This service is designed to handle customer inquiries, as well as technical problems.

A lot of REO agents are no longer allowed to double end deals, so they set up their own buyer's agents to handle a walk in or sign call.

I don't want Government Sponsored Entities to begin with....never mind, ones that are trying to do a function that they are not equipped to handle.

No one seems to be winning in this foreclosure game and as people have said, you are lucky the banks didn't kick you out earlier.I have heard of it being possible to rent directly from the bank... more and more banks are setting up divisions to handle this.

Many of your replys were from agents so I would take that into consideration when reading their responses.In my experience, I have had agents scew up and cost me money on investments in the past, no one is perfect of course.My advice is this: If you are doing the work and research, are experienced enough to handle contract negotiations, etc. you can absolutely use the negotiating technique with the seller that they do not have to pay the additional 3% to a buyer's agent and as such, can reduce their price by 3%, or by 1% + 2% cash back to cover some of your closing costs.

On the flip side, the auto industry does support a lot of other businesses (not to mention a state) and right now, is that collapse something our economy can handle?

How do you handle the vent since you no longer need it?

I have a 800 number and I get more calls than I can handle and that is why I got the 800 number.

Since then I've been reading many RE books (so many books) trying to get a handle on what's involved.
