At a $189K price point, do buyer's expect a large downstairs master to living space?

Check out this new BP thread... maybe Chris C. can indicate if the bank was a large (B OF A type) or small bank.

Condos are a good option there as there is a large amount of inventory.

If a lender needs to liquidate a loan for any reason we are able to insert another lender or 'sell' the note to another lender at full price to the original lender.I think it is a great way to offer an alternative for your buyers and insulate your business from the whims of banks, but it requires a pretty large network or at least a handful of really good lenders with a lot of capital.

We decided that agents have not performed for us, so we will be looking for properties on our own, as we belong to a very large MLS.Hope this will clarify your concerns.

Some are large duplexes and some are triplexes.

I agree with Jason, the extra time between fully executed adendums and a 3 day inspection clause should be sufficient to evaluate any large (potential) problem you are worried about.Don't make any habits of backing out, but in such extreme cases where a large issue was identified after offer made, you certainly have a right and reason to either re-negotiate or back out.

In my opinion, these are not great deals and you probably are expecting too large a fee.
