    Terrorist had an H1B Visa

    Gamed the system well. It's great when you can easily pass because all you're dealing with half the time are brainless paper-pushers... Sadly, wasn't all too smart in building the bomb. Should have outsourced that work :D :D

    beinf sued by Collection agency

    Why do home sellers prefer cash buyers?

    Assessment actually...debatable sure, but you have to use a set figure somewhere to get a starting value. Appraisal *can* be done if you feel it's lower than what's presently assessed...or if one happened to be done within the past 1-2 years by the seller. Even then with some markets plunging...

    Why are all of the bank failures a non-issue?

    Psychology can be powerful though. Then again, I wouldn't mind seeing a few lines out the door of people trying to get their money out :D Makes plausible sense: Close Friday afternoon/evening. Saturday is very limited hours as is. Sunday's closed. Monday it reopens "business as usual"...

    Why do home sellers prefer cash buyers?

    A lot will boil down to your state/general area as Ed said. Short sales may or may not disclose on the MLS (since part of the process is that the property needs to be listed) that it is a short sale, or that it's subject to third-party approval, etc. You can offer on it at any time (and...

    Debt collection and credit cards

    I have a few accounts well past due/charged off. I'll settle eventually. Too long for a statute still IMO. Some are on the second round of companies...since I keep a spreadsheet of who's looking to collect and when, all settlement offers, accounts there, etc. Others I've sent letters to...
