Every bank is different, HOWEVER, banks will usually be willing to take between 78-85% of a BPO value NOT whats owed(this is why you have mortgage insurance) Short Sales will also appear as missed payments on their credit scores...BUT thats a hell of a lot better than a Foreclosure!

I can't say whether that show fudges numbers or not, but assuming all the numbers are true, and assuming it is as "easy" for them as it appears on television, you should consider this.1) Both husband and wife were/are real estate agents in the general area where they now invest, which means they both are extremely familiar with the prices, trends, rental rates, and everything else real estate related in that area.2) The couple has access to hard money lenders, their parents (on both sides) have stepped in to loan tens of thousands of dollars when they go over budget, and they also max out their credit cards for tens of thousands of dollars.There are other factors, but hopefully you get the point. 

Hello Forum,I am currently working on a deal for a Colorado property that by most common sense would appear to be residential.

While researching properties on the county assessor tax websites I often come across properties that have sold in very short periods of time for substantial differences and it appears the buyer is often a trust and the seller may be the owner of the trust.
