I'm an end buyer involved with a California short sale for 6 1/2 months.  BOA is the first (owed $284k) and Citi the 2nd (owed $101k).  It's a Freddie Mac and so Citi is only being offered $3000 but they want $9900.  I'm trying to buy the house with a VA loan and the appraisal will be done soon because BOA countered my offer with a crazy high BPO.

 

Is there any way I can pay the difference ($6900) to Citi while using a VA loan?  I'm not doing the "Citi thing" and do something outside of closing.  I can go with an FHA loan or 10% down conventional but I really want to do the VA loan.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

If you have the cash to pay the difference you can do it in one of two ways:

1) On the HUD as a P.O.C. Item "Paid Outside Closing". It goes directly on the HUD for disclosure.
or
2) Pay the $6900 to CITI with an agreement it comes BACK TO YOU if the deal does not close for any reason.

We have done both of the above without an issue.....
Ben, thanks for the great info! Has this worked with a VA loan?
we have never had any issues writing things in as P.O.C.......the great thing, it IS on the HUD so you have full disclosure.

PLEASE let me know if VA or anyone takes issue therewith so we can address accordingly.
Ben,

I'm working on a short sale with Wells Fargo as the 1st and Citi as the 2nd. Wells offered Citi $3000 but Citi is demanding $5000. Buyer and Seller each agreed to contribute $1000 to give Citi their $5000 but Wells said if they see additional funds (above the $3000) going to Citi they will deny the short sale because they want that money. Do you think adding a POC item to the HUD would work in this situation?

So Cheri,
I am dying to know what happen please please tell me right Way.
I have the same problem! Did you do a P.O.C. like Ben suggested? Did it work?
