Short Sales--how Does It Work
Can anyone explain to me how a real investor can make money using a short sale? What do I tell the mortgage company that will convince them to reducing their loan balance? What do I tell teh homeowner?
how much can the loan balance be reduced by?
How long does the process take?
How much cooperation do I need from the homeowners.
What type of scenarios are the easiest to do?
Very interested in this concept!!

You should spend an hour or two reading thru this Forum. Check the articles, too, including "How to Prequalify a Short Sale Candidate" and "Short Sales: Childs' Play or Not"[ Edited by TheShortSalePro on Date 09/07/2003 ]
FHA you can go as low as 82% net property value. the Seller gets 1k incentive. Realtor cap is 6%.customer closing cost can be paid as long as Serviver gets HUD 82%. not alot of soft cost on a HUD PFS. No buyer benfits. You must get the borrower to sign up for the Pre-forclosure then with the approval the lender holds off 90days. If the PFS fails the borrower can do a Deed in liue. seller incentive $500.00 for that.
That just one of many...
