I'd like to stay in contact with colleagues easier.

I learned the hard way that regardless how complete and organized you present your offer they will attempt to contact your seller (without telling you) to complete their proprietory short sale package which includes the Purchaser Eligibility Certification form.

In "Weekend Millionaire" he promotes walking different areas & physically meeting residents getting to know them in person, making contacts, connections, etc.

UPDATE: Seller is stuck on "I want 30k and I don't care how you get it to me" QUESTION: If the seller doesn't want to play, can I contact the lender and apprise them of the situation?

I have read most of the FDIC site and contacted them as well.

Lee, who do you call or contact?

Well, for one, after the appraisal came in a little lower than expected, the broker who set us up w/ this loan contacted the appraiser & got it bumped up a bit in an effort to get the loan amount we wanted to pay off some bills.

If there are any lenders out there who can do these loans please contact me.

In reality you should only need days to contact your cash buyers and get them into the property, so most sellers wont go too crazy if you back out in less than 7 days.

bernie, i have contacted 8 title co's in my area who tell me absolutely nothing.
