I consistently get a 9.7% response rate.

I understand that it is a good guide to short sales, but if I simply want to understand short sales, I don't need to spend $1,000 on a package to teach me the basics of short sales.So, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has taken this program and applied it and been able to make large amounts of money with it on a consistent basis.I know McLaughlin and Jurewicz talk about making 6 figures a month and getting offers accepted for .40 and .50 on the dollar, but what I don't understand, is whether this is due to some special knowledge they have, or the fact that their market, southern Florida is suffering from an extraordinarily high rate of foreclosures and banks will basically take any offer they can get.In the LA area, I have never heard of a bank taking less than 70 cents on the dollar for a foreclosed property.

Be fair, firm and consistant.

If you sell the house for more than 20% above what you paid for it (regardless of whether you're flipping it with no renovations or whether you did a full remodel), you will fall under heavier scrutiny by the underwriter.I imagine this will generally consist of a second appraisal (as current FHA sales above 200% of the previous purchase price between 90-180 do), and may also require some documentation of the renovations/costs performed.

If your project is consistent with that zoning, and the restrictions on development for that lot (e.g., units per acre, setbacks, height limits, and many, many other factors) you're much more likely to succeed.

But also, it is because an experienced negotiator pays for himself by getting deeper discunts more consistently.
