It is.a sweet deal if they get the home anywhere near asking price. Even if they get it somewhat above asking price, given the demand for the area and the exceptionally poor inventory, it is a sweet deal. Short sale negotiators do submit the bpo and appraisal data to the investors for analysis in the decision making process. If you are looking for a property like this in pq you would have to agree it is a sweet deal assuming it closes within 25k over asking assuming it is not a total pos.
