;)Still relatively new to this venue. Have made some $$ in this business but not much in comparison to what would be big $$ in other markets. Would really like to know what is going on in OHIO! My volume is almost what it was my second year in this business ( 2008). I'm not after the reo $$, never have been, just looking for the tide me over stuff. According to reps I'm in good to great standing but the orders from my favs just aren't there. I know it's really easy to be paranoid in this business.......could I have a shout from this area? or from other areas that were never as high profile as CA, NEV, or FL Thanks for your comments

Sorry for appearing like a cry baby just really curious as to the tone in my market place = )

I am in Michigan and my volume this week was 1/5 of a normal 1st week of the month. I am researching other options. It is starting to look like a trend.

I am in the Ohio market and have been as busy as ever. As I see it the trend will be more work. As I drive through subdivisions I see numerous vacants with stickers on windows that have not yet come to the market.

Maybe you should expand beyond you "Favs"

Government intervention has put the kabash on the reo business ever since the housing crisis began.

They still have to do something with these houses, they are really just slowing down the process and creating a log jam of properties. I just hope that I am around long enough to help find owners for all of these properties.

To answer the orginal question, I was slow for about three months but the last two have really picked up.

probably the best idea.......I must seem complacent working the same old stuff but I don't think I thought about the bpo in that way. But I'm getting the picture! Thanks

They need to reduce the prices to reality; to cash liquidation value, not fantasy land value.
Then they will have plenty of buyers.
Instead they play accounting games, and borrow at zero while buying treasuries with a guaranteed 3.6% return from the Federal Reserve with absolutely no risk.
