My advice is:* Have you USP (Unique Selling Proposition) to Sellers be: I can close in 5 business days,* Have PLENTY of Tenant Buyers before you buy the houses* Get ONE major player for a business partner.

Keep plugging away but Wells will want something for sure.If you want to keep the property and try a loan modification, talk to the loss mitigation department of Countrywide.

But you could make it work as long as you don't have any major issues come up.

A majority of the people today can't do that.

a hand written letter might pull some while a professional looking letter will pull othersyou want to find what the majority of homeowners on a particular list will respond too.

Fourth, 401k's, pensions, stock portfolios have taken major hits of 30% or more in recent weks.

When I use the Case-Schilling Index it leads me to believe that some markets like Phoenix and Las Vegas are near where the prices should be, therefore we should not expect to see a major price reductions in these areas.

Can you really push off all your other costs, major maintenance in particular, onto your tenant buyer?

Could you be of any assistance in that department?

There was a contractor that used to live next door to my friend that inspired the remodel - new kitchen and added horizontal square footage.Plans from the architect were drafted, turned into the city planner's for review, Comments were made, Architect corrected and then neglected - architect let them sit in his office for 5 months, finally turned back in and then the planning department moved and lost the plans.
