@Wayne Brooks - Sounds like lienholders in CA typically never see subsequent offers on short sales which makes me curious - Should material info that could impact the value of the transaction not be shared with all stakeholders.

My last turnover cost $126.21 for materials (2012) and the turnover before that cost $167.82 in materials (2011).
