The property can sell from 350-380, so 370k seems accurate for FMV.

Also, the realtor commissions doesn't really apply to me. I use my cousin as my realtor, so I get most of that money back. I just have to pay the end buyer's agent...

I offered 275k on a BofA property. They countered with 370k, which I'm guessing is their BPO.

What do I counter back at? 80% of that? 82%?

Ryan- it all depends on how much margin you have in the deals. I've done loans at 10% per month and I have many properties I bought that had enuff spread that the 10% oR higher rate was still welcome. Example:
Put REO under contract at 50% LTV . Lttle or no rehab needed. Sell at a quick discount of 80% LTV. 30%. None of your own cash in deal.
100K value
Buy at 50% (50K)
Sell at 80% (80K)
[b] int for the 30 days
Original bird dogger grosses 20K
Bird dogger has no money in the deal and makes 20K in 30 days and has no risk
Obviously 10% is EXORBITANT and 5-6% would be better. Do this same deal every couple months or more gives a great return. Actually, with ZERO invested, the return is infininite. Just food for thought. Rich



10k in interest is not 10%.

If you borrowed 50k, and are paying 10% interest, than you would be paying 5k.

If you are paying 10k, then you're paying 20%.

I can't comment on the 2 years part, but yes...properties that were short-saled and owner-occupied are supposed to be forgiven as far as taxes go.

But I think there's more to it...if you had an equity line that wasn't a purchase line, then there might be some different rules behind it.

I will make a MUCH lower offer on the next property.
