I believe its pretty commonly known (or assumed) that many lenders will accept no less than 86% of "value" (net) on their negotiated ss.  At least I have heard that from several negotiators and other ss agents.  My question is: Does anyone know where the line in the sand is for a traditional short sale negotiator to say, "that is outside of investor guidelines and I cant even counter the offer."  I have had several lately (due to inflated BPOs - I know its hard to believe, but there are agents who do it on purpose) where the Wells negotiator simply said, "that is so far I out, I cant counter."  Ideas? 

Again not all cases, just rule of thumb kind of thing.  The Wells folks are great at allowing me to dispute because they are all starting to see that racket that BPOs have become amongst REO agents.  I have shown them a few cases of inflated BPOs and they were blown away, and then they said, "well, that makes sense why they do it."
