Your are correct on the turn times for that particular lender, 5-7 days from "submittal of full package"; but this is still slower than HML.In any event, all 3 sources would be good options Gdchil1.

Any direction on the best source for idea's for short sale exit strategies?

Do you know of a source that can walk me through such a job?

Most of these people want to stay in their house, so providing sources to refinance if they want to stay is a good avenue to try.

ARV lending and other sources of private money are the last frontiers for 100% financing, expect for these sources to take on more relevance as the subprime, high LTV/low doc, investor financing sectors continue to evaporate.

Run ups can be sustained and wound up through smoke and mirrors like investors buying up a bunch of pre construction homes and bad loan programs, but the affordability for new buyers to get into housing runs the market.

I am unaware of a lender/loan program that will lend money on an asset that you don't own; why not sell the note rather then refinance it?

I do well, but it is cyclical and I would like to diversify my source of income.

There are plenty of loan programs that cater to investors, and having to lie to get a house or a better interest rate is never a good idea.Well all that said, I think we all need a good dose of Southern Courtesy.

have you ever heard of the "cash for keys" program???
