Chase declined Short Sale - offer was 90% of BPO, Bank would rather do Deed in lieu? Why?

Okay, so I have had Investment property condo on market for almost a year.  Had a lot of offers, but not high enough. Finally, got a cash offer that was 90% of BPO.  Chase will not go lower than 100% of BPO.  I escalated this short sale issue to Executive Resolution.  Our new contact was fantastic.  Very nice and easy to reach and talk to.  She said give me a couple of days. She got back to us this morning and said Chase will not accept less than 100% of BPO and declined the short sale offer and asked us to file for a Deed in Lieu.  Why would a bank rather take the property back than a short sale?  How is that an advantage to them?  I owe $290K, market value and BPO was $260k and short sale offer was $235K.  Will they get more money thru a deed in lieu?  Very confusing to me.

 

Thank you Bet.

Who is the investor? Maybe the foreclosure attorney is pushing the DIL for that bonus $1500 for doing a DIL. Fannie Mae is giving out foreclosure attorneys a bonus for a DIL. Do some research and If you need to directly to the investor.
check to see if there is mortgage insuranec on teh property, and, find out who the ivenstor is on the loan and report back to us.

I would bet, the way many mortgage insurance companies run, the investor on teh note WILL in fact make more money collecting on the mortgage insurance rather than doing a foreclosue (I know you wish you knew this going in so you could have avoided WASTING a year of your time and efforts, not to mention all the stress I am sure you have experienced).

Check on the above and keep us posted....you might also try just asking the executive office the reason for their decision
