Good point Charles, you need to get away nfrom work and clear the head at times.

You never know when some hopped up meth addict will be walking down the street and decide that he needs your money.I carry a Baretta 3032 (32 cal) Tomcat with frangible rounds for added safety in apartment buildings and other close quarters.

My offer is cash.No magic #, however from experience:When first listed, bank wont take less than 95% of listIf the asset is aged, 90-120 days, you can get away with much more, usually it has gone through 2-4 price reductions by then.Auction, try to pick up PRE auction if you can, less competition.

How much you can get away with may have to do with how good your legal department is and what politicians you know.

I used to pay 12%, but you can probably get away with higher now.

Imagine if you will for a minute how a newbe might view REI.The newbe reads all over the Internet that RE is one of the few tickets available that will allow them to ride the train to wealth especially in todays market with prices and interest rates at their lowest.

Everyone is looking forward to a break to get away from their daily life and spend time with their families.It's around this time of the year that people start looking forward to next year and start coming up with ideas and goals for the following year.So what are your goals for 2011?

If you could get away with charging a point for 2-3 months of seasoning nationwide you would be killing it (as no one is doing this).

Some big ticket items are less predictable still.
