I think my tone comes across as argumentative (I'm an insurance adjuster - I have gotten attorneys to apologize to me for "being such an attorney") but you really can't take individual disagreement between two people too seriously until it crosses certain lines.

Thanks gentlemen I am going to adjust the price and see what type of results that produces.

You will then let the current owner know that they will get cashed out if this new buyer performs on a lease option (assuming that is what you did) or you can collect the deposit put the renter or L/O tenant in and sell the property as Turn Key- Then just adjust the price to what it would sell for quickly in your market...

So if it needs $10k we adjust our price by $20k (this is not set in stone)...

Hi Ali-I am a newbie investor, but I can't think of anything other than the loan being an ARM and the interest rate got adjusted.

Now if the approvals are coming out a lot faster then that throws off the timing to find an end buyer so how have short sale investors been able to adjust to this whole new set of timing when working with the banks?

As a general guideline, this may work, especially if you adjust with a hedge factor.

The 50% rule has been a great tool in the past, now it needs to be adjusted even more conservatively in this economy.

They actually have a more forceful jet of water coming out too, which can take a little adjusting to get used to.I wouldn't compare them to low-flush toilets, because the low-flush toilet does not have sufficient flow to remove the solids in stool; the shower is only rinsing soap - how much flow do you need for that?

But, I think it will wash out when the market takes a little adjustment.
