Real Estate - Can we talk short-sales?

[mosesbotbol]

I heard there are banks sitting on so many properties that they have a 10 year plan to slowly release them not to flood and de-value the market.

If anyone is interested in short-sale or foreclosure in the Boston area, my friend works for one of the largest Real Estate law firms locally. He has an inside track on many, but he lacks investors who can sign a check in short order.
