Steve Babiak I read it the same way but how is a competing buyer getting a bad deal "sweet"?

It depends on your current income, your passive losses carried forward, your goals or endgame... the list goes on, but a decision shouldn't be made without talking to a competent real estate investor orientated accountant.

in the real world, where people and institutions are liable for their vice via market correction, the players must take a bath in order for the invisible hand to work the field back to par.

So is any term or title that implies that someone is authorized and competent to give investment or financial advice.

Big or Small you will always benefit by meeting new people and getting to know the players and pick their brain.

In many cases, we're competing with properties that are priced MUCH lower than ours, either distressed sales or cheap rehabs.

Those of us in the construction trade are pretty close knit and we try to help each other, even though we may be competing for the same work.

“What these criminals did, committing fraud and inflating values, was a felony before and it is a felony now, yet we haven’t put any of the big players in jail- so nobody’s afraid,” Lagow says.

Be aware that if you are looking for a quicker all-cash sale then your MH will have to be 10% nicer than everyone elses and 10% cheaper in price (as you are competing with every other MH seller looking for the elusive all-cash buyer).

all,i think we still have to terminate today to get our 2,000 earnest money back b/ today is the end of the financing period - we've been under contract for over 5 wees, and they already extended the financing contingency twice...but yes, we could start fresh and keep trying....i think we have some time b/c I don't think a cash investor is going to offer 62 cash and no one can get a loan, and it may take awhile for the bank to lower to a 40-50k cash offer, which even that we can't compete with really (well, we could take more out of our 401k but then it shoots our monthly payment up b/c it's only a 5 year loan... and like i said, i just don't feel right getting a home equity loan/line of credit on our primary)...ok, talking in circles enjoy the live show!!
