I received several offers on the property I am selling. I've asked for best and highest. One of the offers is higher by 15k than everyone else. However, they did not send the contract and they were sending email only. Now when I emailed that we accept this offer, they are delaying with sending updated contract. The call for best and highest was on Thursday at 10 am. Do you think I should move on with other offers? The agent says that her client is in Columbia and did not reply her email. I kind of feel that this is buyer's remorse....

 cool, thanks, I did not know about these sites. Just out of curiosity, what are the markets you are investing in?

those that went underwater are all banked owned, it was explicitly stated... I did all the above that you suggest. Hubzu said to contact agent as they have no idea why they took it off. These are the properties that could potentially bring over 200k in profit each. It's kind of sad to loose the opportunity.

 short sale is not possible, all properties on hubzu are bank owned already. It's all mystery to me as the listing agent don't pick up the phone.

I kind of expected this. Do you have an access to MLS? I wonder if anyone can check properties that went underwater there. It's now 5 that I can count...

Hi All. I want to check on your opinion on high end Miami Beach properties. Say the price range from 1mil to 2 mil. How cold is this market? It seems there are a lot of construction going on in that area. Do you expect the price drop in the near future?

Sounds pretty fare to me. You share all equity (real estate and money) minus losses (in your case closing costs). 

right, but it's Kona part. Do you think volcano is the real reason? Any expectations that it will get to Kona area?

park the money in ladder CD accounts or high yield saving account. You have to subdivide into 250k to have security on them. Then wait for a deal, and educate yourself a lot. The deal does not come fast you have to be patient. It applies to both stocks and real estate. I don't advise to put the whole chunk of money into stock market. The better and safer way to do it is what is called market averaging. However, considering your mother's age, you should not put all money to stocks as it may not recover in case the market drops and she needs it. Once again, market averaging seems to be a correct type of entrance for you. The disadvantage of financial advisers is they put all your chunk at once, plus their fees. Find a good one and just talk to them. You don't have to invest with them and I actually advise not to.

Hi, I was waiting for a good price on several properties on big island in Kona area. I would say I was watching about 4 on hubzu. However couple weeks ago, the banks took them off from hubzu. Any ideas why?
