What should I know about buying a “short sale” house?

Question by Radman: What should I know about buying a “short sale” house?
I understand there is no warranty and the buyer has to pay all the closing costs. Can I offer lower than the short sale listing price?

You can always offer less than asking. in addition, if you are using a real estate agent, you need to make sure the commission costs are included in the purchase price.
Be prepared for a long process. Bank owned property sales move at a snail’s pace. Often, the bank cant find the deed, because the mortgage has been sold so many times, so it would be prudent to ask if the bank has possession of the deed early in the process.

Short sale takes longer and there’s more paperwork. (The borrowers are still in the property and have to get permission to sell.)

How do i learn about real estate “short sales” without spending money to learn?

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Question by Nuclear M: How do i learn about real estate “short sales” without spending money to learn?
I would like to know how to get involved with real estate “short sales”…I love customer service, but I want out of retail and the R.E.S.S. breed of service can save a lot of people a lot of money, as apposed to convincing them to spend more money as you so often find yourself doing in the retail environment. However, I don’t have money to spend on seminars, boot-camps and other such conveniences or money traps (should that be the case). I would really appreciate anyone who would be willing to take their time to teach me at no cost up front…and i have no problem arranging appropriate kickbacks for the kindness once I get going. Thank you in advance for your time.

Are you talking about representing sellers in a short sale? If so, you have to become a licensed real estate agent first.

If you’re talking about buying properties that are being sold as a short sale in order to buy them cheap and flip them, there are a million books at the library. I read one called Millionaire Real Estate Mentor (or something close to that) that was pretty informative.

Home currently on MLS (Arizona) for Short Sale; Contacted by “fast home offer.com” – Legit Company?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

My home is currently on the Arizona MLS and last night I was contacted by “fast home offer.com” or fasthomeoffer.com
The gentleman stated that he wants to make an offer on our home and asked me questions like what is it listed for, do we have tenants currently in there, do the tenants pay their rent on time, is the home in good condition, who our mortgage loans are with (1st and 2nd) and our Realtor’s contact information. He said he was going to call our Realtor and make an offer. I don’t want to get my hopes up and I am wondering if this company is legit? Has anyone experienced this company making an offer on a home for a short sale and if so was their offer decent enough that the banks will accept it? Our FMV of our home is $100,000 right now and it’s been on the market for 70 days.

Can I do a short sale with no financial hardship?

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I live in a neighborhood that is turning bad very fast. I need to get out. However, I owe $109,000 and I can probably only get $90-95,000 for the home. It’s so bad right now that I am willing to just walk away from it. I make decent money so is a short sale out of the question? My realtor recommended a deed in lieu of foreclosure. I don’t want to mess up my credit though. Should I tap my 401k to cover the potential loss on my home? Take out a loan to cover the loss? Or worst case scenario foreclose even though I have no financial hardships? I am in dire straits. Please help!!
