Recognizing the deal is the key.

Every television interview of her was many hours long and the major networks took her weakest 10 or 15 minutes over the many hours and showed that as SARAH PALIN.But, she is making more money now than Obama, so I guess all is well!!

Interview various brokerages, let them know exactly what you're looking for (and NOT looking for), and don't settle for one that will make it more difficult for you to invest -- the goal is to make it easier.Generally, the smaller brokerage firms are more lenient when it comes to working with investors, but there are definitely exceptions to that rule.

Eddie, there have been several interviews with various congressmen and AZ leaders that have stated or been told that all 1200 will be used for jobs such as processing and booking illegals.

True, if you find one that doesn't have their head up their @$$ and doesn't read negative press like this:http://activerain.com/blogsview/1691636/is-short-sale-flipping-criminal-activity-"In addition to banks losing money, this practice damages the unsuspecting homeowner who is selling the home in the short sale because they then face the possibility of a higher deficiency judgment if the lender seeks to recover the unpaid balance, or if there is forgiveness of debt, a higher income tax bill (unless the homeowner is exempt under various tax forgiveness plans of the IRS).Borrowers are "on the hook for larger deficiencies," Ann Fulmer, vice president of Interthinx said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

But that is more of an outsourcing/arms length thing than recognizing the true value added of the Realtor.

Those who advocate the "50% rule" recognize that there are a number of expenses that are recurring and non-recurring; the non-recurring ones can be difficult to ascertain at first - new landlords don't realize them until they get hit (or maybe "bit" is more appropriate) by them.It could be that in this instance, "cash flow" means that PITI is covered and there is some money left after that.

It was not a cash transaction and to award a deficiency would be like recognizing the installment sale as a cash transaction.Making repairs to a property during any redepmtion period or leasing the property and depriving the borrower of the opportunity to be made whole can lead to more problems.With current consumer protection laws on their way, I'm sure that this strategy will soon bite the dust.

She doesn’t need to use these tactics to make money and hopefully she will soon recognize that having the respect of her students is more important than kickbacks provided from other guru’s.
