McCain! I am running a small business over here! I don't bust my hump everyday so that I can provide MORE welfare to deadbeats who don't want to go anywhere with their lives and have entitlement issues!

If Obama gets the vote, I might as well go back to work in the corporate world because he is going to tax us to death!

NOBAMA!

Are you going to be living in the house while it is on the market?

Just pull out all the clutter, paper, nicknacks, personal photography of friends, family.

move out furniture that is too large for the space etc... pretty common sense stuff. if you move too much out, it will feel too cold.

I have vacillated about getting my REA license and have considered that I would feel as you feel about hauling potential buyers around (especially with gas prices) to other properties that I don't own only to have them not purchase.

However, that said, I find myself particularly irritated at the lack of concern for a sale that i get from all the realtors that i have dealt with. They want 7% to list and yet they don't get the property noticed or marketed, it just gets flung into the abyss with the rest of the properties. Which makes me want to become a realtor just to sell my own......

The best strategy is to price yours the lowest and have it staged to look the nicest. with nearly half of your neighborhood for sale you have to stand out in the crowd. The good news is that hopefully, you will get a lot of traffic from all of the others homes for sale in that neighborhood.

I think the banks are shooting themselves in the foot. This is spring boarding from a bad situation to a national disaster. With gas prices at an all time high, people are being forced to either pay for gas to get to work or pay the mortgage. Those prices are translating across the board into groceries (and have been for quite some time) and other goods and services. Has inflation ever hit this economy so hard? I don't know.

My commercial lender will now not touch a deal without 20% down and there has to be a very HIGH ARV. I think it will be impossible to even get a next deal without cash. My lender has stated that he foresee a mass exodus out of the MCmansions and back into smaller, more affordable homes and I agree with that.

It is rather depressing.

I heard on the news today that they may lower the fed rate by a whole point!!

No. over here we have about 5 that do most of the REO's. That could change as the foreclosures increase though.

they have old data and they are not very reliable. i have used foreclosure.com but they don't have the preforeclosure data in my area like they should. I keep my own list.

"Curby" is my nickname around my house because for some reason my minivan is attracted to curbs...i dont know why :D

definately, a sprayer and have another person with you to back roll. We only use flat paint because with satin you have to worry about streaking.

wear a mask.

good luck!
