Hi Eric - I put together a detailed package on all the numbers.  

You will need it eventually,as part of the short sale package.

I am able to assist my seller to market their properties to both retail buyers and investor as well as evaluate the benefits of both retail and creative financing offers (seller financing, package offers, 1st rights of refusal/options, etc.) that come in from investors and in some cases are more beneficial to my sellers.Being a broker who understands the ins/outs of real estate investment can open a whole new segment of the market for you and be very profitable for everyone involved.

A copy of that can be included with your offer and possibly help the owner to make a decision.Make sure you know what the lender requires in your loan packages and turn in an organized one.  

I'd preapprove you for a fannie refinance, knowing that fannie is more restrictive than most portfolio lenders, and then we'd submit it to them (with an appraisal and full credit package etc) once you purchase the place all cash and own it.

I've got an opportunity on my hands and I'm looking for some creative ideas from our BP community on how to best package this deal:Two properties to purchase from an old landlord who is ready to get out of the business altogether.

So, no federal requirements as far as standardization of paperwork to approve a short sale.Large commercial loans originated between 2003 and 2007 were generally packaged and securitized, just like residential loans.

I'm not sure if they just found a good off-market deal when they purchased, if they put a good amount of capex in (marketing package says they rehabbed 5 units) or if they are just being greedy trying to exit at this price.

(Found this on a Google search).Probably better to add a 'utility package' to the rent.There are companies in Charlotte that can setup submetering if you register with the utilities commission.

We have a company called legal blanks in WI and they supply the whole package for very little money: lease, smoke detector and CO dectector notice, lead based paint addendum, rules and regulations, move in checklist and 5 day notice.
