So be careful of what you hear.Also, the deadline if simply for them to be sent out of available.

I'm hoping we do stay in this "bad housing market" for a while though because I would like to be able to take advantage of the deals available.

I'm young, hungry and foolish I could perfectly move somewhere else and start up there.Even thought I have 40.000€ available to invest I still feel my first asset is very far away.I did not buy the property by the way.Sorry because of my poor english.

We'll work on the upstairs unit over the weekend and hopefully have it available next week.

Out of the LOC $45k would pay off the 2 existing mortgages, $2.6k would be used for LOC closing costs, leaving me with $92.4k available on the LOC.

I just felt there were too many investors chasing the available inventory and causing the prices to be driven up to where there wasn't enough profit in my mind to continue pursuing them.

If you have the money available, maybe you should offer a large EMD when you do make an offer through her--that might get your offer more attention.If there are only two REO listing agents in your town that could be a positive for you--you can develop a rapport with both and come to understand how they like to do business, maybe they will give out the codes once they trust you.

If they are not paying rent on time, chances are they don't have much available credit if any.

Can someone link to soemthing showing mthly/qtrly trends (by market) in the subcomponents of the "overhang" (loans 90 days past due, NOD/pre-foreclosure stage, REO, maybe even loan mods/workouts if that's available).

Honeywell makes the best thermostats in my opinion and I believe somewhere around their 5000 series and up that feature is availible, but I like where your mind is at and it sounds like a viable option to me if you don't want to spend the money on the heat pump.
