First Condo...need help
I'm short saling a condo that is not part of an association and doesn't have fees. I've been told by most buyers that they cannot get financing because the other unit is not owner occupied, so a cash offer has to be put in.
My buyers put in a cash offer of $248,000, but the net was around $220,000. Lender came back today and said they want to net $261,000. The buyer will go up to $273,000 for an offer but that only nets the lender $253,000. So is it worth explaining to the lender that ONLY cash offers will work here? What can I do?
What strategies have you used to work down the net amount a little?
It's serviced by AHMSI.

I can't figure out if you the author is an agent or the seller. At any rate tell the bank the same thing you told us, provide supporting documentation (comps) to justify the offer on the table. How long has the condo been on the market, what is the condition like, add those factors if necessary. even get an appraisal done if necessary.

This is why when the agent or appraiser goes out to get the property value it is vital you meet them. You can then give them information they need to know and it will be considered in the report given to the bank. Remeber you are NEGOTIATING; just because the bank wants to see a # doesn't mean they will get it so advocate, and negotiate on behalf of your seller and buyer. Also, FHA has restrictions on owner to non-owner ratios etc. however non-owner or conventional should not be an issue to purchase.
You need a lender to tell you it is not a property that can be financed and why; if in fact this is the case.

I called a portfolio lender local in my area today and they verified they won't lend on a condo where over 1/2 of the units are investor owned and unfortunately that's our case. I did meet the appraiser and show comps that justified our offer price.
I think the only thing I could offer at this point is the listing history. Its been on the market since FEBRUARY without an offer. This offer is solid and cash so I could counter just below their desired net with the listing history.
Any other ideas?

Who is the lender?
How much do you owe? 1st and 2nd Td's?
How many units in building?
How many are FHA loans?
Do you own any other units in the building?
Are you delinquent?

Smitty,
what you need is a matched pair analysis, sounds complicated, but is really simple. As it is an explanation that would be helpful to those interested in bpo's, I will put my full explanation in the bpo forum on this site.
