@J ScottThat's a great idea to keep and/or collect appraisal where possible, I bet there are those that barely even look at their appraisals that close when they come in.Have a good weekend !

I bet you will get replies especially if you mention exactly which city you are looking to invest.

Total market size of 3,000 will imo create vacancies - - I bet the complex was built on speculation :sigh:

And the Receiver will not be spending a dime on the property, you can bet on that!

At this point, it's unreasonable that you expect the lender to take the entire loss while you profit from this deal.In fact, not only is it unreasonable, but I'd be willing to bet that the short sale agreements you sign will preclude you from legally regaining possession of the properties short-term.

If your not already making six figures in the business or you haven't done a deal at all then my bet's on one of these horses being the culprit...

I am betting a terrorist attack will soon derail the economy completely.

Not just real estate but:1. a grouping of properties f&c2. a grouping mortgaged to the hilt(this hedges my bet both on inflation and possible continued deflation)3. significant cash- minimum 6 months supply for anyone and more for those capable of reserving more cash4.

I bet they have more condos per capita than any place on the planet!

So I'm starting to think the last two months of your bank statement is probably the best bet as it's what I had to show when I got a loan.
