I think it's  a win for me and them. the tenant can move when's it's not snowing and there is more options to rent from.

Be honest and rate yourself from 1-10... if you're a 10 in marketing but a 4 in sales, instead of losing deals and higher spreads to "learn the ropes", you can max out on what you're good at, bring that value to the table and find a 10 in sales.This goes with everything among the business...We realized we sucked at initial calls so instead of getting better, we focused on hiring the best at initial calls, and this was one of our best hires. we went from 10 deals/month to 20 deals/ month almost by the next month after the hire.We did this again on the title side, and it freed up our work load to almost half it's size.Moral of the story provide value with what you are good at, value exchange and partner with someone, or hire people to fill the spots you aren't optimal in.Doing so allowed me to create a virtual wholesale system in other cities (right now we are looking for the best wholesalers in San Antonio to expand to also) by providing my value: prescreened high quality leads, to good wholesalers... we split 50/50 they get leads ready to sign, I take on the marketing and screening, they create the bigger spread than I could, I cover marketing costs, they get 50% equity split on leads that were free to them... that's a win-win-win... allowing us to expand to as many deals/month the experienced wholesaler can handle.

Like in gambling, the house always wins over time. 

It's a win-win.The bottom line is if you want a good Realtor, you have to trust them and they have to trust you.

If there is any equity in the house and you can close quickly, it could be a win-win situation.

Depending on the LTV they could be very comfortable with the collateral and you could win by not paying off all of the fees.

In a meantime cash investors and FHA househackers are winning the offer battles. 

I'm interested to hear from anyone who bids 0% or anyone who has attended Illinois Tax Lien sales in counties that get low average winning bids.

(old) you could live off that money until you die. they said retirement is a "3 legged stool", meaning social security, pensions, and an annuity from your 401K winnings.
