Shuold be after lender approval.The rider simply says when contingency periods begin -- it doesn't define what those contingency periods are.

Erin Dumonski - I think you've got some good advice thus far and simply wanted to welcome you to the community.

I'm making these numbers up from thin air as a disclaimer, but I would think they are somewhat in the area.Comp 1: +$1,500 - $2,500 = $99,545.04Comp 2: +$3,000 = $117,868.64Comp 3: +$1,500 = $115,976.44Comp 4: +$1,500 - $2,500 = $106382.96So with the, the avg is $109943.27 with a low of $99545.04 so if everything is okay, I would believe the subject property is worth around $104,744.16 or simply $105,000.Is this good?

Which would be more helpful, or does it make a difference, once I find a property and have the estimated repair cost; would you prefer a video walk through the house or simply pictures of each room?

Like I said I don't know much about it but I know enough to either just forget short sales and go the REO route OR if someone contacts me that is going to be over that time limit, refer them to a Realtor that can help them (of which being new I don't have anyone that I could recommend so calling all RE agents, this is a relationship we could foster that could be a win-win ...

I commend you for trying to find a win-win for you and the 2 couples.

I personally think that the deals that get bragged about here on this forum with regularity are either exaggerated, or just make it seam like the deal of the century is sitting on every corner because people are just simply not going to share lackluster stories.

I have an excel sheet that has all my owners in it and I simply make the line bold for letters I've sent out.Hope this helps...Dan
