Actually, I don't know yet what happened to the boat. Once I left the property, I didn't see any point in going back to see if it was still there and have not contacted the broker to find out.

All of this happened on Tuesday, before the long holiday weekend and, after I talked to the REO manager at the bank Tuesday afternoon, she was off from Wednesday until today.

The REO Manager asked me to send her an e-mail, which I did. I included the authorization from the broker, my original estimate, and the photos of the contents of the property I took a week or so before the trashout was to take place.

It's in the bank's hands now so I'm just waiting for a response. It could be today or it could be a week from today. It's hard to tell since the banks are overloaded, too. But I'll update everyone when I hear from the bank regarding how they want me to proceed. If they do.

I sure hope everyone gets covered up with BPO and REO work this week, Golly Ms Molly - Talking about beating the poor horse to death, I cannot imagine how many horses must have died during the duration and length of this thread, and several poor keyboards just gotta be bruised - among other things .

Give it some time - we'll see how it works out - Geez.

Pinehurst..yes, but we've learned a lot in the process. this is why forums exist, to benefit from the knowledge and experience of our peers.

I know I'm going to kick myself later for asking :

What is it again that we have learned from this thread, I can't seem to find it?

*raises hand, jumping in her seat* I KNOW! I KNOW!!!!

There is more than one way to skin a cat!!! That's it.

<sigh>

I don't know about you, but I've learned that I have a lot of competition for the most long-winded posts.

I've learned who has missed their calling and really should be an attorney arguing in front of a judge.

I've learned more about California law than I'll ever need to know.

I already knew many REO brokers are scumbags because I could tell you stories that make this one look lame.

I already knew I should CYA everything. And I already knew that many times it doesn't matter how well you CYA because some attorney will be able to argue well in front of a judge and right doesn't always win. And you won't always know when your A needs CY'ing until after the fact.

OK, so that last one wasn't ALL covered in the topic, but consider a freebie.

I learned that if it was $400.00 worth of gravel no one would have cared.

LOL. Highest&Best. That was good.

I, personally, have learned to make sure I ALWAYS wear my Big Girl Panties when I post in this forum.

Thank you! Please note that I am not knocking anyone's post. I read them all (as much as my short attention span will allow) and follow the arguments. I DO find value in hearing all sides.

And Linda, I don't know you other than following your posts on here for some time, but I think you have a great mind for business and I am confident if you listen to your instincts you will do quite well. Sometimes what may seem like a setback (losing a client, writing off receivables, etc) puts you in a much better place down the road. It just doesn't always feel like it at the time.

Hang in there! And always keep a fresh set of big girl panties on standby.

Highest&Best. I know that everything in life is temporary and things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. I know this will pass and, believe it or not, it's not even bothering me.

BTW. I have 8 pair of Big Girl Panties, one for each day of the week, and a spare in case I wet myself laughing at some of the forum posts.

Linda

Ahhh ~ Thanks you guys (non gender guys )I actually chuckled out loud - looked around to see who heard me and Trinity looked at me like: "was that really worth waking me up?"

Thanks HB and CD - I knew those guns would stop sometime

Bump
Did I miss the dispositon?...I thought I read that the original poster would update the forum when it was determined who got the boat and who was right or wrong?

No word from the bank so I presume they settled it another way. I'm actually glad to be out of the loop on this one.

My post appears to have created hard feelings between several members so I figured I'd just leave the thread buried. No point in resurrecting it since we'd probably all forgotten about it.

Linda

NO, we had not all forgotten about it. Maybe you wish we had and is usually a response when someone is found to be in the wrong. This is a very good forum for learning what might be a mistake and what is the correct way to do something. I was interested to see whom was correct and the poster was very adamat to their actions of being correct and they were in the right? However, since the poster failed to follow up or wishes not to disclose-I guess we will never know.

You know a lot for a new poster. It's a pity that you don't know who responded to your post and who the original poster is.
