I'm guessing that would mean only county zoning rules would apply.From your post, it sounds like the city planning department is the department I should be checking with in each city. 

The lenders felt short-changed, and the justice department agreed with them, as did many key legislators and regulators.So, in your statement, the "extra $15K" probably goes for bail and defense counsel for the defendant (the short-sale flipper, a.k.a. you).To the point of your original question, "How is it possible for the Agent to make money off a short sale?"

My understanding on the procedure for this group is that one needs to ask for a FOIA request from the Treasury Department of the town for whose list one is searching.

I am finding most lenders if you put the property in an llc want to throw it into their commercial department.

Even if they've lost their jobs, you are not expected to turn into the Welfare Department.

After that is completed, you will need building plans drawn up by an architect and submitted to your local building department for review and approval.

Im familar with this property as I invest in this area.In fact, I even gave them a nice low ball offer that they didnt take :-)Its in solid condition, what types of violations are on the report (Link didn't work for me)No seller I know will fix violations, they are a pain and Chicago is very complex when it comes to permits and the building department.  

I work in human resources for the Department of Veterans Affairs, and I am also a student  at Santa Fe college.     

While my background and skills as a clinical psychologist might not help me out in the financial acumen department of REI, undoubtedly my personable yet professional nature, my skill and motivation to understand others, and my desire to find mutually beneficial outcomes will help me as a landlord.
