That is a very loaded question.

So as you can imagine my bandwidth is pretty low but I'm a restless person which hopefully can help me manage the load.  

If you don't know what The Villages is, just Google it.Today, I removed the carpet, and loaded up the mattress, swing set, and other wood and concrete debris in the backyard and took it to the landfill.

Don't waste your time dealing with the big banks.  

If it passes, then you can delve further into your investigations on the property, but if it fails, you may not want to waste your time.It's just a fast benchmark to gauge if a property is worth your time to begin with.

An under performing multi will take better managers in there than what was there, the property may have a tainted reputation, there can be deferred maintenance, if it's empty there is a lease up period where a new buyer needs more capital, and on and on and on......that bank doesn't want to see that property again if they really don't have to, really have to.But, if they are hung with a property, if they can find a strong borrower, that has experience they may give it another try, but they will be explaining that one in the next examination.When the say they want it off the books, they mean they want the liability off the books, they want REO assets off their books because they can't be in the ownership of real estate business and they want cash deposited instead of wasting RE.

I want to have control over my deals but I don't want to have too much of a load on me.

You say what is there is grandfathered in but if one person says yes and you buy it then the other person says no you can't do what you plan to do, then that would be a waste of money.  

I have a friend in production and is giving me a good deal on shooting a "commercial" to load onto my site.

I've heard list services are a waste of money... so then what?
