There is lots of rejection in this business.Look at this from an investors perspective.

I am asking as I was the second offer on another REO and my offer was rejected.

There would be a day or two for brainstorming where no idea was rejected.

I've also heard of them not bargaining, and then the higher ups one day send out the word, we've got to clear out this inventory, and thenthey suddenly contact people who've made offers and suddenly arereal willing to deal.If they rejected 40%, it sounds reasonable to me to offer 35%.

I'm open to anything that seems to make sense - you can see from my first post in this thread why I have been rejecting most possible opportunities thus far.

They ususally try to put junk fees on the HUD that the bank rejects, or they jack up the "closing fees" to the buyer.

I think it where the tenant screening process is a little different than accept/reject. 

I tried to cash out but the bank rejected me.

But don't get too pushy - my "reject call" list on my phone is almost longer than my regular contact list from all of the un-engaging solicitations.

I have been stalling a bit because of fear of rejection and/or failure.
