What I have discovered is that my clients have thousand of REOs nationally and through my relationships at the Asset Manager level I have access or the ability to look at them all.

And it was all this crazy lending that drove up prices to the bubble levels.

it's an investment with a projected return and risk level.

There are three levels of it, and the prices are not bad for what you are getting.

And that process absolutely includes the expected return, the level of risk and the fact that no one can predict how any property will perform compared to another.

That one side will have to go up at least 4 inches to be level with everything else and it might mean tearing out the bathroom and redoing the whole furnace and everything from what a contractor was saying.

So alot more free-wheeling at the local bank level.

It is probably a conflict of interest on some level somewhere.I guess it's kind of a slap in the face to the bank also.

Next to my property is a 24 acre parcel with B4 zoning that a developer wants to buy, his problem is it sits on the corner of 2 State hi ways, and the DOT wont let any developer have an entrance, its just to close to the traffic light, and a long time ago DOT bought easements, and other stuff.This is where my problem starts, and where I need some advice.Sellers want to sell the 24 acres, but anyone that buys it will need my land for access.all the developers that want the corner want to give me 100K an acre for it, but dont want to give me anything for the building becuase they say there going to level it.A commercial broker listed their 24 acres, but had them reduce their asking price by 500k telling them I was going to be hard to deal with because I wouldnt take 300k for my 3 acres with my building.My property brings in 40k clear a year, but could be up to 60k if they develop next to me with something nice, plus I have room for another strip if I wanted and saw needI own it free and clear, so I dont need to sell, but I cant see taking 300K.
