(War zone).  

Who are the current players in the game of lenders for the South Side, not war zones?  

Houses are sold regularly 20 to 30k over asking price and the bidding war is unbelievable.  

No war zones :)

Go to war with a multitude of counselors, as they say, and hash out what would work best for you and your team."

I did a lot of these in my day probably 100 or more.. but we could always stroke a check and or refi.I have run into numerous folks that got into title on houses .. tenant would not pay and they made it one or two months before they could no longer pay on the underlying they were running on a shoe string and got into these deals with little money and no credit and listen to coachs and guru's as how to buy with little or no down and no personal credit.. well this is a way to do it.. but its very dangerous for a seller whos credit is important to them etc... its just not a beginner strategy or a scheme to use when you have little or no money and no credit..Unlike what the gurus and coachs say.

There are ALWAYS people willing to do 'terms' (i.e. even in a 'seller's market') you just can't expect them to be 'advertising' in most instances, and the publicly available LO houses are often GONE within a week or less (with numerous applicants, if the property is desirable) so your BEST angle is to find someone who does LO deals FIRST... and then have them find you a 'motivated seller' within the area(s) you prefer to reside.

I am looking for more low end, war zone buyers!!

I called to book a showing and they said the offers went up to $100k.Is this typical of short sales listed to create bidding wars?

I've ready numerous books, listened to podcasts, etc Im just a little stumped on how to start.Any advice?
