I am wondering if anyone has ever done a short sale with Teachers Credit Union? It is not a huge branch but they are not small either.
I was told by the mortgage department (since they don't have a loss mitigation dept) that they will not accept an offer for less than $200,000 since their unpaid balance is $230,000. They are not going to entertain any lower value. They also never waive the deficiency.
I am looking for some good news from anyone who has dealt…

We have a first with Midland (FHA) and a second with Navy Federal
Midland won't work a short sale without an approval in writing from Navy Federal accepting $1500 (balance is aprox. $70k).
Navy Federal won't look at the short sale without an approval in writing from Midland showing what offer they will accept and what Midland will approve for Navy Federal. Navy Federal will not order a BPO until they have the Midland approval in hand.
Any ideas?

I, the buyer, have received approval for a short sale that is HAFA II. The only problem is that the 2nd lien holder wants more than $6000 for a GSE. The first lien holder is claiming it is illegal to ask for more than $6000. But it is my understanding that the 2nd lien is "offered $6000", but is not forced to accept only $6000? Also how do you handle this? Fannie Mae's instructions state no one (buyer, seller,...) can pay the extra amount.

Understanding a short sale approval letter is a critical skill for a real estate agent, homeowner selling on a short sale, investor buying on a short sale, and anyone affected by a particular short sale transaction.
Most banks approving short sales are national. This means they have loans in most states. However, they often have legal council for the states they have loans in. Because of this, often they will adjust their short sale approvals based on what works on the…

Because I am very active in Short Sales in the Portland, OR metro area, I get all kinds of questions by email and phone.
As much as possible, I try to keep the questions and answer in email form. One of the most common questions I get is:
"should I short sale or not". My answer is almost always "it depends". Basically, whether a short sale is a good strategy to unload a property, or not, depends on the specific situation. The email sequence below is a good example of…

Hi all, I have been doing a short sale with Nationstar and its been in equator for quite a long time now. They promised us the approval letter when we met the net they required. It was in November 2013 and since then there hasn't been any response from them. I tried emailing negotiators and managers in equator, tried calling them, but no response at all. Does anyone know somebody at the top level who can help me get an update on the file and keep it moving.
Please share your…

Where would you like to be when you are old? I don't know how to read minds but I am sure you don't want to be homeless. I am sure you don't want to helplessly see your home foreclosed by a bunch of crooks driven by greed.
Many old people, cancer patients, newly married couples, single moms, among others have been evicted by the loan servicer Ocwen. Many have seen their short sale requests turned down only to watch their homes sold for lower prices to builders and investors. As per…

I have been using a service for past few years and their data is often outdated and has errors. I am looking for a best service. Any suggestions based on your experience? Thank you in advanced.

There are many lenders and investors that have no issue with any party to the transaction, including the agents, making payments to junior liens or other expenses not approved by the short sale lender. In fact BofA and other large servicers place this right in their approval letters.
