My R.E. agent is advising me to submit my 'best'.

Listed Friday afternoon at 1:00pm for $48,500 with no pictures, met my agent at 5:45pm when I got off work to look at it and couldnt believe it still had a longterm tenant in one side that has been very nicely kept and the other side rentable as it sits, submitted cash offer of $48,600 with $2500 in earnest money at 7:00pm Friday night, offer accepted before lunch on Monday.

You may need to submit 50 offers to get 1-2 deals.

From now on I'm going to have that addendum ready and will submit it to the end buyer along with the original contract so we're clear.

If you haven't seen them and have the attitude that "who knows what happens when I actually see them," then you DON'T fully intend to purchase them.You fully intend to look at them and consider them, but you don't fully intend to purchase at that point.If you want to invest out of state, I would suggest finding someone local who can look at the properties for you, take pictures, get contractor bids, etc...and do all this BEFORE you submit an offer or sign a contract.

Is he finding these short sale sellers himself or is he submitting offers on properties that are already listed by an agent on the MLS?

In order to have it hit their credit report, doesn't the landlord have to be registered with bureau in order to submit credit history?

The problem is I was told the appraisal request was submitted 7 days ago, I was supposed to close tomorrow, currently I can’t reach my loan processor and when I do I don’t get a straight answer.

I have heard folks say on several different occasions that they submit a repair cost estimate with their offer.

Usually they get away with it but homepath.com is now making all offers be submitted through their website.
