It's been a while since I was a real cigar aficionado, but I do enjoy a nice "stogie" or pipe every now and then, especially in the summertime while sitting outside on our patio enjoying the warm evening air (possibly augmented with our fire pit) and basking in the peaceful tranquil atmosphere with a nice glass of scotch, rum, or even beer.I've always been partial to Arturo Fuentes, especially the Chateaus in both regular and double varieties, Ashton's, and even Macanudo's, which have a light easy smoke and come in as many shapes and sizes as one would find at Huntington Beach, CA on a sunny July day.

A short sale is a distressed sale- The homeowner wouldn't be selling if not under some pressure whether by being underwater or not being able to afford the mortgage- how you buy a distressed sale is irrevelant to the comps.An appraiser down the line only cares that it was a regular sale, foreclosure or short sale- how you paid for it doesn't matter in his evaluation of the property and past sale.

The listing agent may have you work through another agent in their office in a back-scratching arrangement between them, that is fine and still puts you in a better position than coming in cold with your own agent.Talk to the listing agent during the owner/occupant period, and submit your offer just before the property enters the investor period, going in with a 'strong' offer as you're already planning.Understand and monitor DOM and interval of time from the last price drop.

Nothing like a regular shingle removal lol...

I still have my professional business cards for regular daily use but c'mon we all know that most of the people at a sell-a-thon reia aren't ever going to do anything with your card.

Next is to get inspector thru and approved and get a partion wall on one end of the two bedrooms down there, complete with the closet and the regular doors for each.My experience using ANY fiberglass insulation has never been good,,,it acts like an air filter and then turns stinky.I have found code is one thing,,,long lasting operational function is most important.

With stock trading, you can monitor your results every minute ... even every second ... with great accuracy and make adjustments.

In my experience, I've met regulars who look up leads on a regular basis for themselves or companies and have found a few of them who would be willing to send me lists since they do it regularly anyway.

I just need proof of funding so i look good for the short sale lender but I cant get proof through a regular lender. plus having a hard money lender is aslo like having cash,right?

So, if this goes through, would these people move back into their old homes, or put them on the market as regular sales, or rent them out and create a glut of rentals?
