Once anything hits the market, multiple offers are submitted, driving the price up, cap rates down, and so the speculation continues.

Citibank, like most large banks, most certainly requires all offers to be submitted to them by the listing agent.

Today, I submitted 15!!!

The agent receiving the offer must then communicate the agent’s status in the offer comments when submitting the offer into the system.

You can submit your own ads, etc..do the initial tenant screening.

After she accepts the offer, you need to submit the short sale package to the lender to try to get their acceptance.

I was encouraged by two other investors, to submit another offer for $500 to a $1000 more than my first offer (then the investor told me a story about how it had worked for them on a HUD Property.

For me to do that, I have to have written permission from any buyers submitting offers that I can disclose their offer to another buyer.

Being a recent college graduate the funds (<20K) are insufficient to do a lot of deals at this point so I'm assuming that the best agents to target are those that are looking to get their feet wet and get deals under their belt as you suggested.With regards to those willing to work with me, all I'd require is for daily/weekly listings to be sent to me and for them to submit offers on my behalf. nothing absurd such as showing me every property and wasting any more of their time and efforts that is necessary.

I'm careful in the way I submit directions.
