I'm continuing to build cash reserves until one of two things happens - either I run across a screaming deal that is too good to pass up, or I have enough cash to pay off both units and still have a substantial cash cushion in reserve.

I have a question...what are "influences"?

And in countries where the poor resent the rich and feel that the rich do not deserve their wealth or respect, growth seems to be poor.Do you guys agree with me or do you think I am under the influence of the Chardonnay served by the cute girl at the bar?

If within 90 days - you will need 2 appraisals (usually borrower only pays for one), an inspection report that meets guidelines, be prudent if the seller could show/say what was done on property to substantiate value.Depending on price range but opening up the buyer world to folks who need/have financing surely increases this pool of potential buyers.I am in South Florida and values as you can imagaine are all over the place.

Other email that is just a bunch of promises with nothing to substantiate them goes in the circular file.

Does the amount being shorted, the lender involved or other considerations influence the bank's response?

It could just be a bug in the site's software; Josh will probably have fun digging into that.Now, if I were to make the rule for what is required to post in the "Bulk" forum, I'd add that the influence score must be zero or higher :oops:

And a property with substantial equity in it will often get bids from second position lienholders so that they protect their interest.Champak is right that state income tax liens get wiped out (at least in AZ).

I highly doubt he has a male influence in his life, so maybe some good can come out of all of this and we can get him headed down the right path.

It can be quite substantial, I'm hearing average settlements between $3000 - $5000.
