I submitted a mortgage loan application via Chase yesterday, and their response may influence the range that I can explore either up or down.Do you feel that this is a sensible beginning strategy? 

That means you'll be able to do deals others can't.With multis, occupancy has a strong influence on value.

Does the assessment or apprisal value have anything to do to influence the offer price.

The two problems there are: (1) AB 284;(2) The price has already gone up a lot from last year.In addition, fiscal cliff issues, as a national problem are still lingering in the once traumatized mind of some investors.

My company is considered one of the top passive investment companies in the country and is one of the most respected and without a doubt, we have been influenced from many things we have learned through our relationship with Than, Paul, Konrad and JD.  

I would suggest starting conversations with people in your circle of influence to see if anyone they know might be interested in becoming a private lender.

I Read the article posted above by the Fiscal Times from 3 years ago.I also read the article from the same source 1 year ago its amazing how they completely reversed their stand in less than 2 years.Upbeat article is here--- A High Speed ComebackBut even that article is one year old and out of date wait till you see their next article.

They do it because it makes fiscal sense to them.

Perhaps you need to put more feelers out there and increase your sphere of influence.
