I know I have seen this question before, my FHA short sale property has two liens. My seller has talked to the attorney's office who is collecting and made a settlement offer. Can I negoiate to reduce sales price to include payoff on liens? I know FHA will pay $1500 towards liens but I am just concern about balance.

Hi Darlene. Your question is a tad confusing. Why would you reduce the sales price to payoff liens?
Anyway FHA will only allow $1,500 towards junior lines. TOTAL. If there are more than one junior line them these finds need to be divided amongst them. You can also use the seller's incentive money ($750-$1,000)
The NET to the 1st must be at least the amount as stated on the HUD90045.
I hope this helps.
Sorry for the confusion the liens are totaling $ 9,500 so, I know the $ 1,500 won't be enough. So, I need to know if the bank will allow the buyer to increase or decrease from sales price. Still giving the bank their net.
Thanks, I was afraid of that. I guest this is a dead deal. Thanks for your help.
