The 3 day offer has gone out the window - it typically takes weeks between each correspondance.

You can’t even receive an offer in the 90 days for FHA, so you are typically holding property 120 days or more.

Typically figure 1 1/4 loads per person, per week.

They are nice upper scale units typically occupied by solid middle-class white-collar tenants (office workers).

At the time prevailing interest rates were 9 to 91/2, the lender wanted; 20 % DOWN, 2 POINTS ORIGINATION, 3 POINTS, 11 1/2% LOAN, PLUS ABOUT 800-1,000 OF THE TYPICAL BS FEES.

The house is sitting empty, about a $51K balance owing, (probably some late charges and penalties) but if she can walk out with $7500 she'd be happy.Anyway, I've done a pretty complete walk around and peek in the windows, typical cosmetics, yard and shrubs are pretty crappy, not too bad overall.

I was told it was good, so I read it, but found that touching my forehead then repeating the high points and posting on my mirror to be a bit "hokey" and the typical "guru" style.

Typically the seller has already negotiated the fee out of their proceeds as part of the listing agreement anyway.

The selling agent's (or buyer's agent) portion typically remains 3% because of pressures by agents not to show anything below 3%.

On a flip house, I typically supply a washer and dryer.
