Short Sale Questions

I have two proerties that the bank will accept short sales on, what price should I start at 440% off 50% off, is it a long process, my credit is bad and I need a pre aproval letter, can I get a partner to do it, how are banks with double escrows on a shorts sale if I have an end buyer set up? how long does the average forclosure take?

    All these answers and more are in this forum. Just read a bit.

    The offer to the lender should be written in the name of the trust as the buyer. The trust needs to have been created before this can happen. The actual buyer needs to be the trustee of the trust. The beneficiary of the trust can be either their LLC or their personal name.

    Your 2nd contract just needs to have the trust as the seller.

    I hope this helps, let us know how it goes.

    You shoild have met with provided the agent or appraiser with comps to support your value of the home prior to the BPOs submission to the bank. Threshold for most banks.are:
    FHA 82%
    VA 88%
    Conv. 88-90null

    Is the BPO greater than the mortgage loan balance or less, how much is each? Please set the stage for your question.

    Since the property is really upside down relative to the BPO, suggest you present your offer and be prepared to counter up to $72500 (85% of BPO).

    I just got a BPO done and the agent told me that it would be somewhere between 150K and 160K. I am thinking I may have offered too much as the agent pointed out items I did not account for in repairs....
    This is what the deal looks like.....
    ARV - $175 (Comps 165, 175, 189)
    Estimate of Repairs $8200
    My offer was $136K

    1st payoff is $149K
    2nd payoff is $38K

    Can I resubmit an offer? Luckily the first offer has actually just expired so a new offer has to be signed anyway
