I looked at a 2/2 condo today that was in decent conidition for 89,900 (looked like a buy and flip type deal) and they accepted an offer yesterday. tsk tsk tsk. 

Thus allowing me to focus more of my time and energy into investing in my brand/ building my own businesses.Obstacle: Currently I am on the hunt for an experienced FHA lender who accepts credit scores between 600-620 (due to having less than 2 years of established credit history and 2 accounts in collections, one is completely paid off but remains on report, the other is from school and is only $991) To build my credit I have 2 credit cards, I only utilize 10% monthly and pay in full & on time.

I have contact with a few local investors who I call and accept mentorship from whenever I can .

If your offer is accepted make sure you get a escrow company, closing agent or lawyer or whatever is used in Illinois, that is familiar with probate.If your PR has limited authority and needs court approval to sell assets make sure you understand the court confirmation process and auction if there is one.

When I buy a home Should I accept the 3% buyer agent side of commission and split it with my broker or take no commission and ask seller for 3% reduction in purchase price?

@Jeremery Jett, you mean, you put in an Offer which was not accepted?

Isn't the bank just as likely to accept a short sale vs going through a FC regardless of the equity?

I know that many asset managers will do a quick property check on buyers before accepting an offer to see if they own anything else and confirm that the buyer is not an investor.

So far, our buyers are accepting this offering, but time will tell.  

I believe a decent advisor can find a new home for a significant portion of the cash in equities that will give them an acceptable principal protected return with low fees.
