Returns can be much higher in your home state of Georgia.Why do you ask?

This year we sold our only rental property (thanks to those who advised me on that topic) and sold our own home to move into a different one. Now we're sitting on some cash and would like to reinvest in a new rental. ...

For example Texas is 30 days from the date of surrender AND being given a forwarding address-I believe @Linda Weygant is talking about bring a small claims(or the Colorado equivilent) to which the amount does not need to be accounted for within the deposit return timeline. 

Borrower makes request to lienholder to consider short sale...lienholder provides borrower instructions on what to do for the lienholder to consider shortsale request...borrower (Seller) does what lienholder tells them to do and when they have all of their stuff (Purchase agreement, MLS listing, bank statements, tax returns, and/or whatever else the lienholder needs/wants) they give it to the lienholder to review and either approve, counter or deny the shortsale request.Your purchase agreement should include as much protection as possible for you in case the deal doesn't close.

I am just finding properties with much better returns right now on that side of town versus the NW and W side of town.If you have other questions about SA feel free to reach out.

Your same purchase $ doesn't buy you the same $'s or rent in return as in other markets.I would recommend attending the local REIA meetings (there are quite a few).  

This would increase the overall raise amount, address our challenges of raising capital per project and the returns would be shares of all the projects.

[Just try to ensure that the returns still work in your favor, even at 100% leverage!]".
