The Short Sale lender will complete a value on the property and make a decision on the offer based on that value.Some mortgage servicers and investors have certain guidelines that dont allow them to accept anything less than a certain percentage of the property value.

Since assessed value is a big variable in the "Zestimate", it is showing a much lower estimate than comparable properties. 

I have sent notices covering a period of several days, during regular business hours,  because repair companies have variable schedules.   

Maybe it is an escalation clause going a certain percentage above existing offers.  

If a RE Agent gives me a lead I wholesale and I assigns the deal for $10,000.00 fee, what is the best and/or the highest percentage commission I should pay this RE Agent?  

Do lenders have a standard way of looking at variable W2 income? 

You are going to pay for education in one capacity or another - either by making  a mistake early on or just shelling out some cash, or percentage of a few deals moving forward to prevent that mistake.

Most other methods of investing require much more risk (putting up your own money or credit rating) and are unable to just walk away if the deal doesn't pan out so a greater percentage of people there are looking for win/win scenarios.

So does the bank basically say, "Well, looks like you already have X amount of equity in the house, so we'll take whatever percentage that is of $141,000, and loan you the rest."?

There is the worst way of install electric baseboards, or if you have the room to install a small wall hung boiler (maybe where the hotwater tank is) and run hot water baseboards... too many variables without knowing whats going on. 3-15k
