Beware of these Pitfalls When about to do a Short Sale!


You can represent the seller or homeowner in distressed situations like this one, as long as you are purchasing the property yourself. The main thing you need to do is ask yourself these questions.



  • How much does the person owe on their mortgage, including interest and penalties?
  • How much time is there before the house goes up for foreclosure sale of default?
  • How much is the house worth at market value after repairs, upgrades or renovations?
  • Does the person have additional liens on the property, such as a second mortgage, equity lines of credit, tax liens, or mechanic liens?
  • Does that person have a current bankruptcy, such as Chapter 13—all bankruptcies must be dismissed before ownership can transfer?
  • Are there any additional owners on title—all owners must participate in the Short Sale process.
  • And most importantly, ask yourself if the profit you will make is worth going through the Short Sale process?
