Let me present this case to you: In front of me there are 3 houses all experienced a 70% drop from 300K to 100K and they will waste me 5 weekends of time. But there is one guy wanting to buy my existing 300K house for 400K but will waste me time so that I may not be able to get 3 100K houses. Of course, I won't waste time to deal with just small gains. I look at long term. 3 deeply discounted REO houses will mean 3 new positive cash flow for me on bank's money. That's the time well spent.
Got it now?
