I have a good credit score and good income. submitted paperwork and it was fast.

A prominent one here in OKC has been playing games with "best and final" offers by sending an oopsie email asking people to submit yet another round of B&F after the deadline, then saying that was a mistake... yeah, right. 

I would just submit my best and final offer and take it or leave type attitude.

That is a major advantage that you can leverage using renovation loan programs such as 203k and FannieMae Homestyle.Even when it comes to submitting offers it can be tricky with foreclosures because all of the banks and asset managers have different processes for submitting.

most agents that I have worked with on these deals have specific short sale negotiators that tack on a feeas @Minna Reid states it takes an agent who is a specialist in this to get these done.I am a have to have it right now guy.. so when this stuff all hit in 07 08 I still had my brokerage that I owned and was going to start doing these .. but man one deal with Ocwen cured me of that desire LOL.. and the bigger brokers that took this on.. its a business unto it self to do it right.in OR there was one broker.. he would just have on the listing.. make your offer here are the PDFS  put in your proof of cash down payment and your prequal.. and submit.. don't call me I will call you  .. they took so long. and of course the buying public does not understand so they are calling their agent 5 times a week wanting to know whats going on and the listing agent says up front I will call you when I know something.. which took months..

I have been apart of/acted as broker for ownership groups that have so much tension and lack of communication, that by the time everyone can agree on a given issue (say...agreeing on the extent of buildout they are willing to counter-offer a prospective tenant who has submitted an offer to lease)...that tenant has usually moved on, leaving their space vacant for additional time.This can all be avoided very easily, but when lines of communication weaken...the bottom line usually follows suit.
