@Sophia Carter The list is pretty large with vendors selling these list.

Here in NE, $50k/unit is pretty easy to find for a solid C/B class. 

@Jason DiClemente that's what I am trying to do but she is pretty firm at this price.

I have both local and (pretty much) "national" LO agreements, that one should then have a (local case law, savvy) knowledgeable RE attorney review, prior to having the LO agreement 'signed' and notarized there, like every RE 'terms' deal.

I’m looking to purchase a handful of townhomes in 2019. And wisdom tells me that I better do some homework on the HOA’s that I buy into, because they could turn a cash flowing property into a nightmare real quick. So,...

It needed to be a total scrape because of some pretty significant foindation issues and that isn't what i want to deal with.

The agent.A short sale is pretty much this in a nutshell1) Buyer is in trouble and sends hardship to bank2) Agent does analysis and comes up with price (Which is of course lower than what is owed to bank)3) Bank says, go ahead and put it on the market4) Somebody looks at house and puts in offer5) Seller accepts any offer that comes in because they want out (regardless of how much the bank loses)6) Bank takes weeks/months to pay for their own evaluation, look at how long on the market, run an internal appraisal, look and do a cost benefit analysis on the loan and property7) Bank accepts/counters or denys the offer (provided they decide to do anything at all and not just foreclose on the original borrower and take the house themselves)I have it happen monthly....

I know, pretty lame. 

In regards to the home staging, is 1% if the sale price a pretty standard fee among companies?
