She is taking care of the stuff that was agreed upon. She actually took care of the mold by a handyman ripping off all the wallpaper, sanding, and painting the wall over the shower which I saw. The worn downstairs carpet will be replaced and it was just upstairs carpet that will clean OK and...

I think she is worried because even when she was saying this and saying how the price was good, she said she had to honor the price. She actually works at a law firm I think in some capacity so maybe she is worried about something...

So in the continuing saga of my miserable dealings with real estate, I have a question if anyone can answer ASAP. My wife and I want to move to save some $$ since we are paying $2100 in Costa mesa for a 3/2 townhouse. We found on WestSideRentals a 2/2.5 townhouse with big garage in Deerfield...

Lets see is it FED....First Federal of California?? HEEEELLLL NOOOOO, that baby has been dive-bombing and my June puts have been loving every minute of it!!!!

So I am pretty well through my taxes and wanted to have a review with a good CPA to check everything and maybe see other deductions or anything I may be overlooking. Any recommendations for someone near the 55 fwy cities?

Yes I looked into this before, though forgot the terms. I don't think I would be part of the 1% of people who actually get a reduction in their taxes. Oh wait, I forgot about that trip to Vegas where I lost $30,000!

<p>Yea I was hoping for an answer but I pretty much figured out as much myself. I will look into the offer and compromise thing, though I do have some savings to pay from. I really don't want to at all but I guess its better than jail...</p>

<p>Been a while since I posted, looks like the discussions keep getting better....</p> <p>So I am constantly reminded of how much real estate sucks, and a word in all caps that begins with F and ends with K would be the better beginning to my name on here. </p> <p>Anyway, so I am doing my...

Just be aware that you will take a ding on your credit that is real. After doing a short sale, I have watched my ability to get credit turn embarassingly bad. I used to have over 720 score and never have any problem getting a card with 0%. Since i was carrying some high balances and had the...

I have done my own short sale and the guy who bought my house in florida got it for 25% less than what I paid for very little work. When I was here trying to write my own short sale package to apply to the bank, I got some assistance from a guy here named James Rust. He used to be a short sale...

<p>So the neighbors condo is an REO from Countrywide. Anyone have any experience or hear of anyone successfully renting a REO property? I was thinking I could get a hold of them and see if they do rentals but figured I'd get any important inside info here before trying...</p>

Yea Cramer today was calling this a bottom for the financials. I gotta say I strongly disagree. He said that last time things went down 50% (early 90s) it marked the bottom and as of this morning we were at the same 50% mark. Something tells me we will need a bit more than 4 months to shake...

OK, out at 121 for SKF and 139 for SRS for a total 29% gain. Lets see what happens now... Its gonna be a fight between bad news and rate cuts hope again.

Ill stay short Downey for a while, but have already cycled SRS and SFK once for 20 some % gains. With a sell now Id be looking at around 50-65% total and a possible later re-entry. Maybe I could sell one, hold one and see what happens... Lets see how it goes tomorrow I suppose...

<p>Man, I am just thrilled these last few days with the inverse ETFs a rockin! Also bought some puts on DSL on Thursday and am up a quick 25%, which aint too bad either... All this, though, is giving me that dreaded "Holy Crap, I am Awesome" feeling, which means an imminent reversal of my good...

I read the other book called "Dollar Collapse" by a similar author and I have to say I wish I had read it about 2 years earlier. Every single thing he said was going to happen came true. He said buy as much gold as you can get your hands on at $375-400, I think it was....

<p>Please don't think I am a car guy or have car envy, its more of an observation about expendable income from paying much less for a mortgage than me wanting a BMW. The wife drives the Altima and my next car will undoubtedly be a small used SUV that will carry a surfboard and bike and have...

<p>liz, </p> <p>I was actually right in your neck of the woods. 1090 Molaki Dr, Merritt Island, FL. Bought for 222K, sold for 170K after about 11 months on the market....Doh! And I agree that techs and secretarys can do whatever they want, but even our young techs who did not go to college...

<p>I agree with your statement completely. After having my house in Florida, doing craploads of work on it only to sell it for a massive loss really kinda ruined 2007 for me. I am still dealing with the F'ing debt and resentment of where I should be financially and where I am, though at least...

Just bought more SRS at 101 and am holding SKF still from when I bought back in a bit premature at 97. I made over 20% on each last time, hopefully there will be a repeat performance. I think good news on housing is going to be very hard to come by until we starting talking about the next rate...
