I have a FHA Wells first, with a Citi second.
I've applied to the FHA Preforeclosure Sale program. The mortgagors and the property have qualified. So, after 40 days of deliberation, Wells has completed everything needed to admit them to PFS. All of this was before the offer was received.
Now, Wells is saying that they need a statement from Citi stating that Citi will release their 2nd lien for the $2,500 FHA consideration, BEFORE Wells can admit them into PFS.
But, Citi wants the proposal, only after the offer, which we just accepted last week.
This effectively nullifies the PFS program, which is suppose to allow the borrowers to get admitted to PFS, together with the minimum net, so they can market their property.
Wells is saying, if we can't get the written release from Citi in a few days, then they must cancel the file.
I'm thinking, this just can't be Wells policy. Does anyone have Wells-specific experience on this? On with another Lender? And, does anyone have a contact reasonably senior in FHA short sale at Wells I could call?
This just seems wacky to me.
Thanks, Michael.

Bryant,
The 1st's seem to be getting more reasonable and realistic with regard to addition payments to the 2nd, beyond the $2,500 or so consideration from the 1st net proceeds.
BofA, Wells, and Citi have each indicated that an additional payment from either the buyer or the seller is fine.
I submitted a preliminary HUD with a payment from the Buyer on Line 104, moved in over to 404 as a credit, and then a debit in the 500 section. So, it is separate and in addition to the sales price. No commission on the additional payment, but it's logical.
In other words, full transparency, no POC.
I think the Bank is fine with this, but it's not final.
(My issue with Wells is that they would not admit to PFS, until after written release from the 2nd, which I seem to have now. And, yes, there is also an addition payment, in this case, from the Sellers.)
