I'll be honest until I have the first under my belt, I'm playing conservative.

Most foreclosures in MA are power of sale, but there is a public notice process.  

They have been given a chance to move in and hopefully own a very upgraded home will all upgrades that they could never right now afford, and they are too lazy to: recycle dead batteries ( it's hard to drop off at most car supply stores, Sears, etc), do not live up to agreements with any company ( landlord, DirectV, Dish TV, etc), Always switch jobs ( I approve the lease based on their incomes, and they wait until moved in and then change - as if they know how the landlord "game" is played), etc.

And yes, all paper work was in play.

Chill out with the power suit and fancy photography. 

theres city power but i think theres no city water so we'd have to drill a well and put in septic, too

For Repairs and Maintenance it will depend on the building conditions...is it 80 years old or 2 years old...lots come in play.

Here, all the negotiating power is on the seller's side... until you're in contract, at which point the balance shifts a bit to the buyer. 

Some are numbers junkies themselves and enjoy playing what if scenarios on the own.

Don't think on it overnight any more, just do it within the hour because that's how he wants to play the game and it'll take like a week if you keep sleeping on it.Baby boomers and older often want to play this game with me on interest rate too."
