A short sale in real-estate terms is the sale of a house for less than what is owed on it. If the lender agrees to a short sale, the rest of the homeowner's debt typically is forgiven. Many times a lender will agree to the procedure in order to take a small loss and avoid the lengthy and costly foreclosure process. While there are some significant negative consequences to a short sale an ever-increasing number of properties are being advertised with that label. A Win-win-win- situation? The beauty of short sales is that they can be a win-win-win situation for the seller, buyer and the lender. Here is how:' - The seller is relieved of the mortgage and avoids bankruptcy.
- The buyer purchases the home at a reduced price.
- The lender agrees to their loss and considers himself lucky to have avoided foreclosure and be saddled with a property he cannot sell.
It may seem surprising that the lender would accept less than what is owed on the home but in the long run, they benefit too. They don't have to go thru the process of protraced process of foreclosing on the borrower therefore eliminating the entire marketing process. The market saturated foreclosures can cost lenders as much as $50,000 per foreclosure according to the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. IS IT POSSIBLE TO COME OUT WITH SOME CASH?
