"Short Sale Distress situations"
What if you owe more than your house is worth?
Are you facing foreclosure?
Have you been in a loan modification and missed payments?
A short sale may be a viable option for you.
Suppose “A” owns a property that is worth less than what is owed. “A” still owes $200,000 on the home. “B” is an investor that would like to purchase the property for $120,000. Once “B” negociates the short sale with A’s lender and then closes with “A”, “B” will then do a double closing with “C”, the end Buyer for $150,000. “B” will make a $30,000 profit. Are there any problems here? What legal issues should you be aware of?
