: Going through some dockets in my county I came across a 3br 2b sfh under foreclosure. =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= Rodney, OBSERVATION: The protocol of a short sale requires proof that the seller of the over-encumbered property will not receive a penny out of their sale since the lender is expected to take a loss on their loan. Banks don’t see any logic why an owner should receive any remuneration in a situation where the lender, who’s in a senior equity position, isn’t getting totally paid off.
#1. BankOne is just the agent for Crown Bank. It doesn’t have the independent authority to discount the opening bid. #2. Yes, FNMA will take less once they have title to the property. So that presupposes that it won’t sell to an outside bidder at the foreclosure auction. #3. The foreclosure sale of a junior lien will extinguish itself and wipe off the title of the property all those liens and interests junior to it. Either an outside bidder will take title to the property or the foreclosing lender if there’s no third party bidding. #4. Approach Crown Bank, the owner of the loan. Tell them you’d be willing to buy from the widow, but only at a price that would require Crown to reduce the payoff of their loan balance to the amount you feel is merited.
