I was not aware of the ability to use it in conjunction with RE, but it is a great program in its own right.

I am working to get a short sale approved through Indymac bank also.

Wachovia is leaving the wholesale mortgage lending business, which means the Homes Seller Assist program willbecome even more important, plus the program has just been opened up to investors.On owner occupied properties they can deal with credit scores down to500.

Here's one part of the bill called the Hope for Homeowner's program: H.R.3221Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Engrossed Amendment as Agreed to by Senate)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------`SEC. 257.

I have in mine "Buyer may conduct his own personal inspections and approve or disaprove of conditions and or necessary repairs required to property."

In addition to I’d always asked if there’s HOA upfront before I’ll consider checked out any properties which answer he gave me was no; took his words for granted again…Comes the escrow acceptance letter needed to be signed, the $45/mo HOA fee only then caught my eyes, I asked my agent what’s it about since I wasn’t at all aware of it up until this point, he then told me that’s just the escrow’s letter template, it doesn’t apply on the purchasing property.Nevertheless, I’d wrote “ N/A “ right next to that paragraph with his approval before I’d signed at the bottom of that page for the peace of mind.A couple of days later, upon calling the escrow to confirm they’ve everything they needed from me.

In your offer to the bank I would include a contractors estimate of repairs.This lets the bank know that while your offer is low, if they want a good price they need to fix something before its sold.Several of my short sales where done this way, the first counter was high and when I asked the bank if they looked at the enclosed estimate of repairs they came back and approved the sale.

Anyway I am happy with the program.

Has anyone tried the Armando Montelango mentoring program?

With my programming skillsI have gotten 2nd position in Google search for "we buy houses"and 3rd position for "we buy houses coaching".
