It sounds like you have quite a project to deal with.

However, my experience has been quite different from what I've read in the books.

Got started end of December 2012, so really just been going for 2 months.Ben Leybovich - :-) what I mean is, it's not quit your job tomorrow, so easy a caveman can do it.

It's possible I've just gotten good negotiators or asset managers, but my BoA short sales have actually been going quite smoothly recently.That said, historically they're very difficult, and we've been struggling with them over a bankruptcy issue for one of our sellers recently, and they are being ridiculously difficult.

I work with a lot of engineers, most of whom do very well and could be in positions to do REI quite easily.

You'd likely sell at a significant loss after quite a bit of effort and stress.

-Don't ever quit trying, don't be afraid to change a plan that isn't working.

And yes, Venice is quite full of the free (except from the voices sometimes) spirits :)

Ok, will try to be clear here.. but this is a little complicated.Looking at properties that only have purchase with a quit claim deed.

Is it quite informal?
