ParticipantIn the early 1990’s I knew someone who did quick remodels for REO’s that were about to be put on the market…paint, carpet, landscape type work. He said that there was a standing policy that every couple of weeks they would just knock $5K or $10K off the price until it sold. None became rentals. He said that people would low ball, get rejected and then 6 weeks later the banks were comming back to the offeror to see if they still wanted to buy!!

Seems like the last time this happened, the Japanese fired up the printing presses and got the Yen back down. I think that still works. Stay tuned.
