Considering that some banks have been able to build up their reserves (LLRs) over the last year+, I would think that these foreclosures would be working their way through the system a little faster now.

I meant residential only and I agree sfrs will increase faster than multis.Mark-In Vegas playing for the week.

.* Vacant - is it good or bad for the buyer; would the bank be more inclined to sell faster?

Its very affordable (like $1.25) and most of the time I can look up what I need (owners names) without performing a full search @ no charge.

Sure if the mortgage company is not indicted on federal charges and its owner sent to prison for 11 years.

The site is noticeably faster.

Of course you now have to deal with more tenants... but that also helps diversify risk a bit.Last thing to consider is SFH tend to appreciate faster than MFH.

I generally charge less than a good GC would charge, so it's a lot cheaper for the investor I'm working with to just pay me a flat fee, as opposed to an equity split or percentage.

This way you can avoid most of the 3% listing fee that you would otherwise be paying.For example, my brokerage charges $60/month and then $300 per transaction.

Actually, I said the opposite way... if you're getting $3,000 a month out of a $135k property, that sounds very good (at a 50,000 foot level)... where I said you were getting fleeced was putting $100k down on a $135k property and getting charged 11% on the $35k note.I'm still not sure I understand your financing situation.Hard money on a buy and hold property tends to make cash flow pretty tough due to the higher interest rates.
