If the numbers work out at list price, offer that!

Short sales occur because the borrower is trying to workout a short pay with the lender in order to reduce the losses and negative reprocussions.

Just because real estate investing is working out great for one person doesn't mean it will work out for everyone.

I had asked that instead of reimbursement for damages we could maybe work out some "alternative sentencing" for the kid.

I concede that, if I spend an otherwise valuable hour on this site (a) finding the old discussions and (b) setting up my "favorites," I might grow used to this new, ad-space-intensive format.

The math will simply work out better in working class neighborhoods ... no matter what country that is.

And on the bright side if the resale doesn't quite work out the way you planned you could always live there right??

With the FDIC they could let another bank take over Indy Macs assets or they could have sold all the notes off in a bulk sale.You will have to dig at the FDIC site to see what happened.If the owner is contemplating filing BK the property can be tied up for a very long time.Once they file BK they breathe a sigh of relief.It's when the BK is about to get a relief from stay that they want to play ball again.Watch this property but don't get to invested in it.You can never control what happens to a property or what the seller will do so you have to line up many targets for acquisition.Some you will blow off right away,others you will follow and possibly put under contract but won't work out,and then others you will buy.

I'm trying to work out the negatives in my head.
