If they allowed the assumption, they would benefit by keeping good performing loans versus loosing them if I have to refinance.

Last year, for instance, I was unexpectedly confronted by a loose pit bull who wanted a serious piece of me before I dashed inside and called the doggie police.

so loosing that 3-5k, along with the upfront money on points.... guess thats just the cost of doing business :lol:

So unless its a listing that is exclusive to our office, I tend to limit my time (somewhat) with buyers who are interested in a property that is multi-listed, since there is the risk I may loose the sale to a competitor.

From the sellers perspective - loosing a buyer is much worse than a smaller sales price.

yeah I agree - loose the agent unless you are just dying to get the property listed with them.If the seller has an agent then yes you have to use an agent.

Submariners motto is "loose lips sink ships".

My Lawyer told me to stop dealing with owners in foreclosure and I have too much to loose to argue.

With that kind of cash you could easily afford to buy into a REIT, or some other profit generating real estate investment, however with that said there is some risk there, you may loose that money.

Dripping faucets or running toilets wasting YOUR water; traps with buckets under them and damage to cabinet bases; loose toilet/leaking wax ring damaging YOUR flooring or the apartment below; faucet STEMS leaking when turned on, allowing water to damage YOUR countertops.
