I have just closed on a shortsale that had MI. It was not a BofA loan. I spoke with the MI company and they said that they wanted the seller to sign a promissory note for 20K, no interest, amortized over 20 years. I went back to the negotiator and told her that the sellers condition had worsened over the 6 months and they could not possibly pay this. She requested updated financials. I sent them in along with a counter offer of 10K. After reviewing these new financials they waived MI completely. Needless to say I was shocked. Has your sellers financial situation deteriorated since you initiated the shortsale? If so, you may want to talk to your negotiator and resubmit the new information. In answer to your question, it appears that you can negotiate with MI companies. Janine Donelon
