No...there are labor costs in the tearoff (most physically demanding part of the job) and the upfront costs of the ordered shingles that are delivered on-site at your property in addition to dumpster rental that is charged at a higher rate because the weight of shingles only allow 1/2 a dumpster to be filled and the costs of laying down the tar paper immediately after the tearoff is complete as you can not just leave sheathing exposed to the elements while you wait for the next check.With 1/3 upfront, the truth is the contractor is out of pocket by day 2.

It seems most times when someone is explaining their method behind obtaining REOs they go into great lengths about different calculations in hopes of making something so simple seem harder than what it is...

I also kind of think it would be easier than dealing with the $13/hr employees who call themselves Loss Mitigators who are really just paper pushers.

They charge for one simple reason, idiots pay.

Is it that simple?

The problem is very simple - we've spent too much (on every level) to support an unearned standard of living for decades.
