Advertise to my buyers.I would appreciate any addtional action steps to improve my success rate on closing good deals.Thanks,Bob Burns

If the spread is not there, there is no reason to kill the deal once you have an approved short sale and burn the seller and buyer.

That stuff is nasty,,careful you dont burn your nose or eyes.

So, while I 100% agree that people should repay their debts, keep in mind that the banking industry had safeguards in place for dozens of years to ensure that they didn't get too burned when a borrower defaulted, and they consciously traded those safeguards for fast and easy revenue.

I can't relax while "ROME BURNS."

The very successful Lonnie dealers tend to move up to MHPs or other commercial after they have burned out on Lonnie deals.

Our hope, diversity, and energy is our strength.

We learned this the hard way because while hubby knows a thing or two as he's learned rehabbing skills along the way, it's slower going for him and somethings that might appear minor can end up burning up 1/2 day.

Both are arguably bad options, but I think most people would agree that the 2nd option is much worse...especially if it comes at a time when we need to fend off someone trying to attack us in a real crapstorm.Scott Burns has a great book called, "The Coming Generational Storm" that everyone should read that is concerned about the course of our nation.

I don't consider a 30% price reduction to be much of a screaming deal, so I'd have to really like the property.Unless prices are quite high, 30% of the house value would be awfully easy to burn up getting the place into marketable condition.So.... yes you can sell places with a 30% reduction in price, but you'd better be darn certain about real market value and the cost of repairs, or you might get stuck with properties you can't unload.
