There are alot of new companies "popping up" to do loan modifications.  Beware of companies that charge large sums and any that guarantee a loan modification.

SHORT SALES & FORECLOSURES (REO)


SHORT SALES

A short sale is when the owner owes more on the property than it's worth.  In the case of short sales, the owner will get no money from the sale of the property.  What does that mean to a buyer - the seller wants to sell the home rather than have it go into foreclosure.  It's a great opportunity to get a home at a reduced price.  Don't be afraid to make an offer on a short sale because you can't offend the homeowner, they just want to sell the property before they lose it.  Also, on a short sale, if you are in a rush to purchase, this is not the type of sale you want to buy.  It could take some time before the offer is approved.  You need an agent that knows how to put the offer package together to send to the lender.  I am experienced in handling short sales so if you need help buying a property or selling your home, give me a call.

 

FORECLOSURES (REO) PROPERTIES

These are properties that are already owned by the bank.  They are excellent properties to purchase as you can usually get a good deal.  They are vacant and some are in move-in condition.  If they need work, finance the cost of repairs in with your loan.  Whatever the case, they are worth a look.
