Hey Chad, it's nice to know so people will take the time out to really talk to people to try and help and it will benefit us all.

Nicely put Jon

However, I'll still make a nice profit.

On the several REO's that we have made offers on, they are all just a little different in what they require as an offer, some require a full fledged signed contract as an offer, while others just a simple letter.Get one of your real estate freinds in with you and make him/her a little money in the process, and tell them to take you to a nice dinner when you close for giving them the opportunity.

It's a nice easy way to cushion your pockets, and it gives you some overhead cash to work with, that is yours free and clear.

I have about $25k in cash reserves and i don't mind using it but it's would nice to save it if i can.

People are really nice!

A more professional tenant would have just listed everything in poor condition so they would not have to pay anything after they destroy your property.but I think I will not deduct anything since he is letting me in there to replace it. normally I would have to wait till after he moved out so thats a plus.If a tenant stole your furnace, would you replace it for free if the tenant was nice enough to let you into your rental?

IT WOULD SURE BE NICE TO LEARN SHORT SALES TOO!

Nice extra cash cow :)Also ZG on gold, another no brainer :)Congrats on the nice sale!
