I certainly fit into this category...I have a number of tremendously far-left ideals and a number of tremendously far-right ideals...depending on the conversation, you'd probably either consider me a socialist or a libertarian...Of course, I don't tend to argue my far-right ideals on this forum (there's no-one that would argue with most of my far-right beliefs...they'd just agree with me and that's no fun :), which is why people here consider me to be solely far-left (and they're half-right).I don't really have too many beliefs right in the middle, with perhaps the exception of corporate regulation...I'm pretty centrist on issues related to that topic...

Whether they invest in East LA or Hollywood, SFRs or Shopping Malls, Multi Family or Raw Land, it all comes down to whether you are successful or not.

Well the way involved was just trying to take some action and see if i could get a good discount on a short sale and maybe flip to another investor if the numbers were right......Thanks for the advice i also think the realtor was trying to use me as the middle man to prolong the foreclosure too!!!

:pissed: The fact it was night time and after midnight on the east coast didn't help either.First thing in the morning, I called the number provided in the letters to "discuss my options".

Wow, I'd say much is portrayed with a high degree of over simplification.Consider when someone sells a business, say a toy store, that new buyer may be in a master lease arrangement, keeping the old owner responsible on the lease.MLOs can be seen as a financing arrangemet, tons of risks to consider in resdential, commercial, many laws like the SAFE Act don't apply, doesn't mean you have license to do whatever you can dream up.A seller can always hold the middle man responsible, it may not just be, "oh well, it didn't work out, sorry" and walk away.

These are middle class homes.

--Getting a tenant in the middle of the summer??

It's a very blue collar neighborhood in a zip code that's primarily upper-middle class with good schools.

I have one that will close this Friday and another one they tell me middle of next month.
