I should have been clearer, the $17k fee is the interest rate differential calculated by the bank. 

PMI, sure, why not, i would try to include it in their payments, just like the banks do.

All I need is 3 months business bank statements and a simple one page application.

I've been trying to find ways to contact the owner or find the bank that may own them to try and get the house but have been unsuccessful.

Who do you know who would like better than-than-market returns on their investments and/or better-than-bank returns on their savings?

With a WordPress site, you own the hosting and most of the content you just use their CMS (Content management system).This allows you to be a bit more flexible with the places you host and how exactly you market you site, unlike the sites like Wix or SquareSpace.WordPress also makes it extremely easy to manage any leads, integrate new plug ins and really add valuable features to your site.Here is an example of breakdown costs:Wordpress Theme: $5-$50 (One time)Hosting from HostGator: $5-10/moDomain name - Namecheap: $14/yrCustom email address - Google Apps; $5/mo.MailChimp - to collect the emails and allow you to send out emails to a mass audience: $10/mo. or FREEYou of course don't have to do everything here, but it's a good example of the costs.

It also tracks your expenses and income, either by snapping a picture of a receipt or by linking your bank information/credit cards and importing the data.

Does the court need a probate referee, if the house in the estate is a shortsale and bank does their own appraisal?

@Barri GriffithsNegotiating a price on a short sale is more about who's willing to fight for it; having comps and learning to use deviation is great, but if you go in with just data, hoping the bank will see things your way, you've already lost.

The reserves that the bank requires are there for a reason, thanks for pointing that out.
