<p>We negotiate for Agents all over the country as well, Ben@ShortSaleShop.net.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For this one, I would:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1) Reach out to the Investor on the loan directly, they are the actual decision makers (contact me if you don't know how to do that).</p>
<p></p>
<p>2) Try one of my FAVORITE lines by telling the negotiator</p>

<p>".....great, so the Seller needs to be behind on payments before you will work with them? That is FANTASTIC NEWS!!! So I can tell the Seller to ust stop paying you for a few months and THEN we can proceed? So the Seller can just sit and live in the home for free WITHOUT PAYING YOU and then we can move forward? That is the best news I have heard all day...."</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lay the sarcasm on THICK and see how they respond.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I would also have a no BS conversation with the Seller about missing payments.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>I thought there was guidelines pass and regulation on the banks that said they could not require a homeowner to be late on payments in order to do a short sale. Is that not correct? If he wants to be able to purchase again right away he cant be late on his payments either to qualify for the programs offered by the lenders. </p>

<p>Borrowers get denied for being to afford the property all the time. Being current on the loan is a red flag in the short sale world and holds more validity with some investors over others. Banks are in the business of lending money and getting paid. If you loaned someone money and they were paying you would you take a loss?

<p>I'm interested to hear what other Brokers has to say on this topic. The fact the owner bought in a less than desirable area at the top of the market and can well-afford to make the payments with no finacial hardship is certainly not a reason for a short sale (in my humble opinion). </p>
<p>If it were the case to get a short sale approved for this reason, then why wouldn't everyone who wants to move ask to sell their house for less than what they owe and have the debt forgiven?</p>

<p>I've had a lender decline a short sale because "having children is a choice" when the homeowner recently had healthy triplets but could no longer afford to support the new babies and the mortgage too.</p>
