I hope the rescue operations are run well and the loss of life and the suffering of the people there is minimized.I also hope the government of Pakistan will focus its efforts more in the future on the betterment of its people than in fomenting terrorism in Afghanistan and India.And, looking at the aid graph, it seems that the U.S. is by far the largest aid donor to the flood victims.

I'm just wondering if there's an amount that is too much to charge for a loss mit fee.

Have to be very active to get a much higher return and even then it’s sometimes better to co invest with people in the business as have less chance of failure and loss.

I'm also amazed at how many sellers would rather cancel the contract than pay for repairs they feel are unnecessary or feel have already been negotiated in price level, even minor ones, so it's just more efficient to keep it active until inspections are over.

Buyers that can sustain that for 2, 4, 8 months are not typically inexperienced investors.We sold many properties with six figure income that had before tax losses - negative cash flow.

The property management company has been hired to do a job, and if they somehow cause property damage or bodily injury to a third party due to their negligence, the landlord doesn't want to come out of pocket for this loss, nor do they want their policy to be triggered first. 

You can wait for the market to drop and increased rates but given that time and equity loss if you bought today vs tomorrow, it might be a better approach to find some value in the market then hold out for another 2008.

Just keep on going and find a good project that will offset your loss.

You'll look to it to keep you whole if the assignee walks the deal; i.e. against loss of earnest money or indemnity if the seller pursues legal recourse when the assignee doesn't close. 

If they have a problem with you handing them a deal on a silver platter well it's their loss they obviously are not the investor you're looking for!
