Wow...that is a loaded and complicated question!

As discussed above, the value that comes back is very important because on a short sale the bank has to net a certain percentage of the BPO value, but it is more complicated than that.

Obviously, you CAN receive significant positive cash flow from rentals if you do the work to find great deals.I also think that he makes things WAY TOO COMPLICATED by talking about Cap Rate and Annual Loan Constant!

This is complicated by the value (40k) here as it is getting harder for that part of the market to qualify for a mortgage under the current guidelines and the realistic chances of them improving their credit to be able to qualify is pretty low in that price range IMHO.

These people send me "leads" (not deals) - I don't make it complicated.
