We have used the flat fee listing service successfully, but only because it was a popular area, anyway, allowed us to list it for less than those around us as we weren't paying a listing agent commission, our goal was faster sale more than higher price, and we're comfortable enough with real estate to negotiate our own contracts.

Will popular credit reporting software such as FICO have to be rehauled for borrowers in the new economy?

In reality a birddog is doing what Realtors do without a license, they will not smile upon your efforts, some may turn you in, so they are the borddog police, so are closing agents since it is illegal to accept or pay any amounts arising from or out of any real estate transaction that is not disclosed.

Are these amounts generally offered arising from default?

Other ideas would be to take several different popular images of 'We buy houses' etc... while not my favorite idea, still, uploading them with the image linked to my site where, again, the video plays, instructing them to submit their info.

If you are flipping then you probably want to do whatever is most popular or possibly what is most common in your area.For example, in the suburbs of Portland, where I live the main entry, baths and kitchen are tile and the rest carpet 80% of the time (in sub $300K houses).

Peter, I'd call a few closing companies and ask them who the most popular, top two, inspectors were in the area.

I like the cleanness and ease of just completing one deal and then doing another, so that the original seller doesn't have to deal with any issues that might arise, or even be aware of my intent to wholesale.
