They're not playing hard ball up here as long as you know who to talk to. Banks aren't in the business to own property. They just want to clear the loan off their books and move on to re-lending that money to someone else. Hope it works out for you, but you're going at it patiently and non-emotionally, so it should.
Have a great thanksgiving Coy and everyone else on this "friendly board." Good housing market or not, most of us have plenty to be thankful for...
