The specifics of each deal and what strategy the investor is utilizing would make a difference as to the importance of certain types of information.As you put it, for my business model equity is extremely important, and that fact probably influenced my eagerness to split hairs.

Live and learn.....in the future I will use back taxes etc. as more of a negotiating tactic .I did just hear last week that the offer looked good, and it was sent on to their negotiator for further review.I must have really influenced the BPO already.

:crazed: I haven't met a single person here that's been influenced positively.

Elia,Wow 9 posts and -718 influence says it all.You break the rules of BP anytime.At last, this post was from 09/2007, long time ago I think.

Do not hook up with investors who want to aggressively influence the numbers.

Do any of you use licensed contractors and do you discuss with them what exactly you're doing (trying to influence the BPO...).

Learning first-hand can really influence the direction you'll take.What do you do for a job, if you don't mind my asking?

The better Countrywide does the more BoA benefit from the stock it purchased.No idea if BoA can influence the Countrywide risk models.

Even there I am not sure any bank can influence how other banks dispose of their REOs.

This has nothing to do with speaking forcefully and everything to do with setting the right tone and influencing the prospect.
