Some places offer 9  month leases but the rents are basically raised to match 12 months at a lower rate.

I emailed the Hubzu rep assigned to me and also the Altisource agent stating the PSA doesn't match the terms of my actual winning bid. 

I also base the criteria that these markets must match on a combination of financial goals and strategies that I can do to accomplish the financial goals as they apply to the profiles within these markets.So to answer the question of "what types of answers..."

I live in a relatively expensive market that doesn't match well with my goals.

When I retire I'll have a defined pension  plus annuities from the 401k match which I max out for the past 20 +yrs and medical paid in full.

In the last 6 to 12 months properties that match the criteria for this home which is a 3/1.5 townhouse 1500sq only comps are single-family homes with a more square footage than this property. should stay away from this property Because the comps on the area are all selling or have sold for $60,000 or less.

This way the only weapon needed to win the battle is a paint brush and a gallon of the matching color. 

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Started working on a criteria then started searching for homes that fit that criteria and my agents would send me listings that matches the criteria.

It does not matter whether it's step mom, best friend's husband, or someone off the street, you proceed with the person who comes back with the deal that matches your criteria.
