Real Estate Investing – Investing in short sales is a excellent way to profit in real estate and the short sale package is pretty easy to develop. After you have profitably negotiated the acquisition price with the seller , you may choose to contact the lender to get a good feel for what their short sale expectations are and how they would like to see the package. Because the lender will have the final say in the deal, you should contact them very early on.
As you get started down the road, find out from the property owner who currently holds the note on the mortgage. For the reason that of the way mortgage notes have been handled over the last few years, finding the actual note holder may be more of a challenge. Regardless, in order for the deal to go through, you will need to be in contact with the owner of the mortgage.
Get in touch with the owner of the note and find out who their loss alleviation people are. Discover what will be necessary to craft a short sale package that will meet the banks needs.
After discussing the short sale process with the loss mitigation officer, start building your short sale package. As this is a short sale, you will need to give sufficient proof that the home is not worth what is currently owed on the mortgage. To help build your substantiation, bring in appraisers and contractors to give an estimate to the cost of rehabbing the property. Also bring in an appraiser to give you a true market value estimation of the property. This, as well as letters of hardship from the property owner need to go into the short sale package
Once the package is completed, submit it to the lender for review. Depending on a number of factors, the lender may accept or reject your offer. However, if you have done your due diligence, and the home is in pre foreclosure, the chances of the bank accepting your short sale offer are relatively high.
