There are no stupid questions here, and if the broker and seller are not able to give answers to your satisfaction, or the deal has issues, walk away.

Since they are the same, it would be easier to systematize a process that could be scaled easier than higher end custom homes.

I followed up with the REO broker and he said that they were required by FNMA, law(??)

I'm an Associate Broker at HomeSmart, and if I can help you just let me know.

I looked in Texas but didn't think the value was good enough to make me move on any - and that includes some off-market properties that brokers sent me. 

Hi Aamir,I'm a broker in SF who focuses exclusively on NNN investments all across the U.S.

However, local customs would probably dictate that.

Thank you @Wayne Brooks , I wasn't aware of that, will start calling HM lenders tomorrow, to see what alternative options, I might have.Everything the brokers have told me regarding the Short Sales was that the closing has to happen in 30 days, there will not be any extensions..., and we risk losing the deal if we can't close.The rear deck isn't required for occupancy and neither is the fence, that's an option, thank you.

My major concerns are the ability to intergrate with a website, robust reporting, great customer usability.

3. speak to multiple real estate broker and property managers (if you are intending to use them).
