My friend @Dion DePaoli, you just gave me gold!

Whatever the equity is, the REO status is ruining their ability to loan new money.what the FMV is for this house.I would make an offer ~= there equity, have them pay all costs, get you a clear title and title insurance. 

list price is just a suggestion.....you can offer what you think is a fair price....get an investor friendly agent....drive your neighborhoods for deals look for vacant homes then research status of homes...time consuming for a pro but as a newbie this is what I do....I just put my second flip on the market...first flip was before it went on the market agent recommended second flip foreclosure I found on mls...

(not the same as "dealer status", BTW).  

For example, a duplex by where I used to live had a for sale sign in the yard, when I went to the Real Estate company's website, it didn't say it was pending, so I called the agent and it had been in Pending Status for several months. 

Also, most podcast guests mention Rich Dad Poor Dad as influential.

.) - i.e: your tools talk to eachother and share information automatically as you specify; automation is gold.

I'm pretty sure there is a nominal fee for guests. 

What's the status of the neighborhoods - is it in decline, stagnant or rising?

I am currently a realtor, but in a referral status.
