So, I wonder if it's better to initiate the FHA ss first or to wait until an offer comes in?

@Jimena - yep - we've all had them that take a long time.  6 + years of nothing but short sales and we see a lot.  A 3 busines day approval is terrific, Good for you!

I have to share for all those agents who get frustrated with BofA, I just got approval on a BofA HELOC, full deficiency release in 3 business days from submission to approval.  I am not saying that BofA is perfect but they've come a long way.  Concentrate on the improvements they've made instead of the problems and you might stress a little less.  My first BofA short sale took 18 months, with the same buyer so getting them done in 30 days is a huge improvement.

BOA conference calls are a waste of time. 30 minutes addressing questions received before the call that are "general in nature" on a conference call that is titled specifically FHA short sales. Like most of my dealings with BOA for the past couple months...Very Frustrating!

Is the BOFA FHA webinar good, with any new info? It won't play on my iPad.

I just received an amended approval letter from BofA - they cut the settlement date by two weeks. Original settlement date was 8/10 and they issued an approval letter today with a settlement date of this Friday. How do they expect us to settle in 3 days? The buyer hasn't even gotten an appraisal done yet.

2/19/12 - Original approval letter, settlement date 3/22/12

3/2/12 - Second lien approval, buyer walks same day

3/3/12 - Property back on the market

3/16/12- new contract ratified

4/2/12 - emailed 2nd trust to inform of new contract

5/21/12 - update 2nd trust to inform still working with Bof A on getting new approval letter

5/22/12 - 2nd trust acts as if they did not know there was a new contract, requests documents

6/25/12 - Finally get new approval - settlement date 8/10/12

6/26/12 - Sent approval letter to 2nd trust

7/2/12 - emailed 2nd trust asked for update

7/10/12 - received 2nd trust approval, however 2nd trust asks for $1000 more

7/24/12 - received amended approval letter from Bank of America. However, they move up settlement to 7/27/12.

 

How do they expect us to settle in 3 days????
