If the trainings are well organized with some sort of support, then it easier to use them because I will know exactly where to look for information.I have done short sales in the past and stopped for little bit because it was time consuming and also the banks had so many rules of 30-60-90 day hold period.

You can look up the street interest rates for the year it closed in historical interest rates, I imagine, I just know about what rates were in my area for a long period....Rich makes a good point that it doesn't matter, if it's too time consuming, just make the offer, if you can figure it out quickly, it will tell you in a ball park what they might take.

It's not the process just how time consuming it is when starting from scratch.

It's definitely more time consuming but I actually get applications and (more importantly?)

So more rental units are entering the market, but less consumers are chasing them.

I am interested in hearing some feedback and knowing how many investor agents focus more on working with consumers as opposed to investors and how it has helped their business and their knowledge of real estate.

While it certainly is a large time consuming process, in reality, the bank approval is just one more step to generating clear title so the transaction can be closed.

There are also consumer protection issues around marketing such detail.

On May 25, 2012, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) issued a Proposed Rule (Rule) which, if adopted, would govern the process by which a "nonbank covered person" may become subject to the supervisory authority of the Bureau.

From my experience it is easy to get a judgement.It is very hard and time consuming to collect.Therefore especially on any tenant that is questionable you have to get a large security deposit to compensate.If you don't you will be sorry later.For judgements you can try the bill collector route but it almost never works,you can try an attorney but that doesn't work,you can do it yourself,or hire a judgement collector company.You have to make sure the past tenant is not "judgement proof" and will just file bankruptcy or has nothing to lose to begin with.After years you might collect some of the money.The best thing to do is either hire it off to a "judgement collection company" where they pay for court costs and collection split what they collect 50/50 with you which can take years OR you can sell the judgement to them for maybe 15 to 20 cents on the dollar and they pay you today.The judgement has to be for a certain size and they will research the debtor to see if they are judgement proof before offering the cash upfront.
