I have a short sale, my Seller, with Ocwen in first and 21st Mortgage in second position. We have a strong offer, all documents submitted, HAFA compliant, and we're waiting on the second (21st) to agree to it and release the Seller from all liability (part of HAFA guidelines). We got word yesterday that 21st Mortgage wants the same percentage of repayment to original debt that the first (Ocwen) is getting. Right now, they're getting about $6,000 against a debt of $45,000 but they want about $30,000 more.
Have any of you encountered this with them? Have a strategy to suggest?
