Short Sale
Hi,
I read a few articles on short sales from this group and yet i have some elementary questions. I am dealing with a preforeclosure on a property (condo) with countrywide it's only 2 years old and i'm not sure if there is a precentage of the total owed that you offer or is there some type of formula? The property needs all new paint and all new carpets. When you fill out the net sheet are you subtracting those costs form the amount your offering the lender? I have read a couple courses but it's still a little grey.
Thanks,
Bill
Other then it needing paint and carpet which is pretty normal, why do you feel this place is a short sale candidate?[ Edited by schallerp on Date 10/03/2003 ]
because she doesn't have any equity in the property and when you consider she is four months late there's no room to even break even on the property.
Bill,
From my experience obtaining one I offered 20% less than what the asking price was. Some lenders will even go lower depending on how long they have been holding it. It would also be beneficial if you have a detailed itemization of the repairs needed if any as this may help you negotiate a better price. Hope this helps you.

Very good, thanks for the help. My next item is how does the net sheet work?
Do i show the price i am offering as the suggested sales price and is the bank going to eat all the repair costs? Or is the net to bank price what i really offer and the net sheet shows how i arrived at that?
Hey i'm new at this and yet i am out there working on deals as we speak so this is where my questions are coming from. I am putting together a short sale package and this is where i am getting hung up on.
Thanks,
Bill
