I feel that with the large number of REOs and government manipulation (foreclosure moratoriums,etc) we are seeing prices fluctuate kind of frequently , at least that is how it seems in the SoCal market.

Same with conventional or government insured lenders.

Not too many of the other big guys are doing much of it unless it is tied to the possibility of a government program.

(LOL)Jeff, ignore that stuff posted by Mark, it's not a degree progam.Sounds like your choice would also give you a good foundation for government work "land use" and private speculation.

And what is the actual number (for example: I don't buy below a 10% yield, or when I see blue pigs fly instead of pink, or...when the government says everything is fine) I was joking on the last two...

Frustrated at the apparent fraud he was witnessing, Lagow sent this chilling email to his supervisors at Countrywide Governance in February 2006:“At the risk of losing my job I am forwarding this email to you and want to relay my deepest concern for the situation addressed.

Call now to reserve your stop in his ultra secret seminar that the government doesn't want you to know about and you will be making millions before you know it.

It is fraud against the government punishable with up to $250k fine and prison time.

The house was being lived in as section 8 (government subsidized housing) until the bank took it back - i've looked up the section 8 standards, and apparently the inspector was being paid off or just didn't pay attention to detail....so yes, it's very rentable as-is, and there are so many very low income people around here that would be willing to rent it as-s, but we want to be good landlords, and we want to protect our investment (siding and roofing repair).. since the inspection, we also had to add on 3k of plumbing work (leak under the gravel driveway) and 3K of foundation work (additional piers needed under the house to support it well and masonry repair needed on the brick foundation)

You'll find missing pieces through other Acts, RESPA mentions exemptions from SEC regs, FDIC, COC, Treasury Regs have consumer protection aspects, the Dodd-Frank Act mentions exemptions.By exemption, they are saying that a certain agency or Act will govern the activities of some function and that defines the governing authority, "exempt" from other Acts unless that activity becomes another activity.
