I follow dave's strategy in my personal life. ( personal residence is owned outright) absolutely zero personal debt whatsoever, which means I have to drive a 7 year old truck... im ok with that. 

You might be able to use annual statement + transaction history from Dec 30th to present to make it work.If the funds cannot be sourced adequately, what often happens (as a sort of compromise alternative to "loan denied") is that the will pretend they never saw the money and subtract that amount from your current balances.

This fits for both owner occupant and investor.Experience/Education: More sophisticated home owners may be more willing to contract the work out to agents, but alternatively, if an investor owned a property in Detroit Proper, they likely have the means to FSBO it anyway (if they have a few years experience). 

Maybe you've offered to pay for their moving truck or enroll the them in the jelly of the month club???

If the borrower wants out of the home and to avoid foreclosure and further damage to their credit, we provide alternatives that will allow them to do that and give us possession of the house.

With a little bit of paperwork I was able to get a title in my name for the truck, and then get license plates.Last week I bought a house at the delinquent property tax sale.

However, looking at things from where I am I think turnkey seems like a pretty good alternative to consider at this time.

LOLbut you can check with local saw mills and get their pricing sheet this will help you with species and values then you contact loggers and see what there camp run price is... camp run = all phases to the mill from falling it to skidding it.. to loading it to trucking it.. 

@Matt Crawley - the better question is what is your alternative?

When I am at a property I don't even leave my truck unlocked if it's going to be out of my sight.
