I just finished a rehab this weekend and now have several deals on the table.

hi, i am Midas from northern california. i own a mortgage firm called Midas Financial Group with 50 state lending and 13 state real estate capability. i got into this business by accident due to a near fatal injury and it was the best thing that ever happened to me besides my wife and 5 kids with another on the way. i love this biz and i am now getting into buying large reo portfolios which is a great way to meet some unique people across the globe. i hope to learn alot from you pros on here and if i can i will be glad to throw out any help i can.

The other half are generally local folks, panel discussions, round tables, etc.

check out the threads and the responses to get a little bit of insight, then see figure out which questions would be best for your unique situation.

And we would sometimes get "table talks" or round table discussions on different subjects.

I realize that every property is unique, but is there a rule of thumb?

Well I happen to be in a unique situation actually.

He smugly disguised it as an ethical way to compensate a seller in a short sale.I will now stop my grandstanding on the subject but I hope you and anyone else reading this, will see my point.....The homeowner cannot profit from a short sale on the HUD-1 or under the table or anywhere else.

Get a partner or find another way to do deals even if you can not have your money on the table.

Maybe a little bit as sort of a good faith thing to the seller.The more you focus on not having money the more the sellers will notice that you bring nothing to the table.
