The Foreclosure Basics - Short Pay (section-i)

If we want to signup in the real estate market we should be aware of foreclosure short-sales

. We may come across dozens and dozens of properties in foreclosure with small or no equity, that is, the vendor owes at close to or more than the property is worth. In certain conditions, lenders are sometimes eager to accept less than the full amount due, this is commonly referred as short sale or short pay.

Negotiating a small sale with the lender is a not so easy process, usually because it is a intimidating task finding such qualified person as a bank officer who has the authority to accept a discount. More than probable, each lender you deal with will have a separate name for this section, so be patient as much as possible when calling. Much like getting your telephone bill corrected, you can wait for the process to involve a lot of waiting on hold and being bounced around a complicated maze of automated voice mail systems. The negotiating begins after you get in touch with right person.

From the lenders viewpoint, a short sale saves many of the costs related with the foreclosure process; the process such as attorney fees, the eviction process fee, delays from borrower insolvency, damage to the property, expenses associated with resale, etc. In a short sale situation, the lender gets the property back very faster, hence it is able to cut its losses. Your job as the financier is to convince the lender that it will charge better by accepting less money now.

The lender may want some details about the property, the borrower, the broker and the deal he has made with you. Especially, the lender wants to know about the worth property. The lender will usually hire a local real estate agent or evaluator to evaluate the property. You may submit your own assessment or comparable sales details. In addition you will desire to offer as much specific positive as well as negative information about the property as much as possible. You may also, include some relevant information about the area and the local economy if things are bad (you may take some bad information with proof from newspaper articles). A dealers offer for repair estimates should also be submitted, which, of course, should be the highest bid you can obtain!
