Please explain why this would not work.

I wish it would.

I can think of a couple of practical difficulties:

– Who determines the model that determines “highest and best”? Politicians would get involved, and you’d have all kinds of idiocy baked into the model that favored one group over the other. You can bet that “highest and best” would have little to do with “what gets the most money”.

– If there’s one thing I know about big software projects, it’s that they get delivered late and seldom do what they’re supposed to. By the time a decent system came online, we’d be well into the next housing boom.

I see where you’re coming from, but building a whole new infrastructure around a temporary problem doesn’t make a lot of sense. Things will eventually return to business as usual.[/quote]

I’d still like to try it. 🙂

Any unemployed, very well-qualified techies want to take a stab at it?

CA, I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there are only so many deals like this to go around. If everyone had a stab at this one it would likely sell for more than you want to pay anyway. Unlike a year ago, people are all over short sales now because as unlikely as they are to get the house it is still better than waiting around to get into a bidding war on a REO or worse yet deal with a delusional seller.

Yes, someone may end up with a below market price here but then again the bank might end up saying no anyway. There is always going to be someone out there that gets a better deal than you do.

I’m frustrated with how the market has turned right now as well. Even my agent is telling me to wait until the fall now! Problem is a lot of people seem to have the same idea.

[quote=sdrealtor]CA Renter you are very naive.[/quote]

The rest of your post was appropriate, informative, and complete without the jab, but part of you had to make it hurt just a bit. Do you ever go a single day without belittling someone? I’m honestly curious. It seems strange to me that a person who apparently despises everyone would be in your line of work. You must put on a friendly mask in person, or you wouldn’t have many clients.
