Borrower makes request to lienholder to consider short sale...lienholder provides borrower instructions on what to do for the lienholder to consider shortsale request...borrower (Seller) does what lienholder tells them to do and when they have all of their stuff (Purchase agreement, MLS listing, bank statements, tax returns, and/or whatever else the lienholder needs/wants) they give it to the lienholder to review and either approve, counter or deny the shortsale request.Your purchase agreement should include as much protection as possible for you in case the deal doesn't close.

I invest near Euclid and have a couple contacts out that way, including a great agent.

It's meant to stop harassment from collection agencies calling at all hours of the day and night, but it also stops pending lawsuits too, including a pending eviction case.

Soon after they moved in we made the mistake of trying to be "good landlords" and accommodated some of their requests, including a new bathroom fan. 

Your contract Should have a very defined detailed scope of what is included, and what is not.  

The aggregate UPB calculation does not include the mortgages and HELOCs that are on the subject property,the borrower’s principal residence,properties that are sold or pending sale, andaccounts that will be paid by closing (or omitted in DU on the online loan application).

Work must be done with licensed contractors and completed within 180 days after closing.The loan is based on purchase price plus rehab funds, which are drawn down as work progresses.They also include a reserve 10% minimum for potential budget overruns.3.5% down is based on the total amount borrowed.You also have to pay closing costs, which are substantially higher than a traditional FHA loan.

So far it's been a little stressful and time consuming but, for now, I'm so happy that I took the plunge and am searching for property #2!

You can take it to staples or someplace and have them print you a large format version.Also I like theses atlases for getting around; but they might not be big enough for what you want and i dont think they include a street index.

My everyday tasks could include anything from building a deck to typing contracts for future jobs.
