Think of it as paid training in property management.

It will be re-assigned to another broker/agent on their list.Listing residential REO ship sailed long ago.Many of my broker friends have stopped listing for banks and work on the buy side more as they pick up a bonus.On the REO side you get hit with BS certifications from asset companies wanting hundreds of dollars a year to be a MEMBER and POSSIBLY land a listing.When you do it's a POC (piece of crap) and you have to outlay a money with rekey and trashout,cash for keys etc. in some cases and wait for the money to be paid back to you.If you have a buyer for the property try to deal with FNMA.If you are just after a listing you need to go with a big reo brokerage already established and be a buyers broker.As local and regional banks have told me they get calls almost everyday from agents wanting to list their REO's.I am more valuable as I focus on the commercial side so they don't get as many of those specialized types.If you are the broker you can go to the local banks and offer to do it cheaper for volume and land business that way.Thanks

Toothless people and slobs are not protected classes and it's legal to discriminate based on number of teeth, (although I wouldn't do it - I'm more concerned with the rent being paid).

The last response is true.people will send you their list unblocked.When you send out your emails, make sure to block (BCC)your contacts.Your buyers list is your "money", and as you've seenonce you've given them away (on purpuse or accident)someone else will use them, and you won't get paid from it.Another tip, when out riding, and you see a rehab under way.Stop and talk a bit.If he's/she's doing a rehab, they might be a buyer,and they might be buying soon again.

We paid less than the sellers did, and they put about $45K into upgrades not included in their purchase price.Now to sell the TX property.I'm grinning like a s**t salesman that just ate his samples.all cash

The state pays the county so the taxes appear to be paid.

He paid full retail and will have to sell at full retail just to break even.

You also should be paid for your time.

You want investors who have had loans funded and paid off (paid off so you know the broker has been in business a while).Also, remember that while a good broker will do due diligence for you, *your* job is to do due diligence, the broker's job is to place the deal in front of you.

It's horrible, but for some the only way out...Unfortunately with a short sale I'm on a short time line as I only have this month paid and I'm behind on everything right now...
