Agriculture is very land-intensive and required people to spread out throughout the country wherever there was arable land.The only reason why so many people live in the Mid-West is because they happen to already live there.

When you open any kind of bank account regardless if its business or if its personal you want to have atleast $500 in start up money these days in each account (different times,same game I assume)1.Deposit $500 into both personal/ business accounts(this shows the bank you have money in your company and that it actually holds a value (at least to them) and you personally have money saved so clearly your not an idiot.2.Apply for a business loan of $200 or more. really whatever you need,want,and can afford to pay . bargain something of a low percentage rate so you can work out the numbers at bank and set the loan to be paid back within lets just say 6 months. or really anything you think!

The other thing is; Before a short sale can be approved, the lender is required to do a work out or loan modification first.

If the deal doesn't work out and you lose 2k, that could of been 2k for another property...

I simply tell them to save my postcard and call me if the loan mod does not work out.

We split up the tasks based on our skills and abilities, and everything seems to work out great.

Since it is an HELOC, National City will want to pursue a deficiency judgment for the loss amount unless it such point it becomes cost-prohibitive to do so.As an investor, I usually decline leads with HELOCs becuase they rarely work out for the seller due to the deficiency rights.

Do that a few times, and he'll probably be more inspired to work out a payment plan for the rest.

As an investor, it can work out to your advantage, but at the same time, when you have a short sale listed 80% or below FMV you will get bombarded with calls and offers.

Their running game doesn't scare me too much but they are playing well, balanced, and intense.
