They have been on the mkt at this price for well over a yr.If the sign out front reads foreclosure (and the relator continually says "make an offer - nobody is 'biting'") is that my green light to make a 'silly' offer?

That is right, you signed your name and promised to close...

If they have an ARM, Great...they are legible for then new bill the President just signed that they can refi to a fix rate up to 85%.

Guess what we found.First we found a busy neighborhood with a few homes for sale and offered to pay for a sign and give them our premium package free...Great advertising.

About how many calls and hangups should I expect to get from putting out 25 signs on a friday evening?

All fees that a broker will charge should be disclosed on a buyer-broker agreement that is signed before any dealings are even started.

To motivate them (and because it was a good deal), I bought a house on the same block, 3 houses down, and had a signed lease 3 days after closing.

So If I just type up a short paragraph covering the extension dates and have her sign it, along with put up more money...... that will be sufficient correct?

It will be a true sign of success.

However, if you are buying business cards, or making signs, or doing stationary, you may as well have it be of a design that is consistent in color, copy, etc. so that it is pleasing to the eye and easy to remember.
