I am a systems administrator so hard work and determination are second nature to me.

Plan administrators?

I was told by the administrator that i could not use real numbers unless I was pro.  

After studying business administration in college I was drawn to real estate when I was reading and trying to gain knowledge in the field.

They can also submit an inquiry to HUD who can take various actions and administratively bar you from mortgage activities.

As far as the actual bottom goes, that is going to depend upon how hard an administration makes it for those who would like to put money into the economy.Governmental laws (local as well as state and federal) that require investors to loose money by waiting longer in order to do something will force some of those out of the market that would otherwise invest and this will prolong our reaching the actual bottom.

However, I will quote what it says:"American Home Mortgage requires the purchaser to pay a short sale administration fee of 1% of the purchase price."

I also work part-time as a restaurant management consultant and will be graduating from Cal State University, Fullerton next year with my B.A. in Professional Business Administration. 

The first time I met him, I knew he was full of it in the first 2 minutes of speaking to him.The process for choosing tenants is that I forward their applications to the administrator of the company I work for and they process the applications without ever having met the applicants.

I was Commissioner of a large PHA here, the ED is a full time administrator of day to day operations, a Commissioner is much like the board of directors of management.I'd say your approach is not a good one, if you went to my old ED you wouldn't get in his office, certainly couldn't get to me.
