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.

This leads to special assessments which can be substantial one time charges that can kill your deal overnight

You'll be taking substantial risk for a very small reward (if any).

I have a new goal of beating Bryan Hancocks influence by 2012.

That will be cheaper than getting a hard money loan (and I'm not sure how many HML's will go that loan for the amount financed), and won't have any loan origination fees (substantial for hard money loans).

That's great to hear . . . we should also congratulate Steve for crossing the 50,000 influence milestone here on BP.
