Getting a Mortgage?  Buy a Short Sale, it may be your best option.  Destin, Florida Short Sales
Short Sales are dominating the market in Destin, FL and they provide some of the best buying opportunities available.  It really is hard to purchase a Bank Owned property with financing but short sales are a different story.  Short Sales are a great option for buyers that would like to purchase a distressed property without paying cash.  To achieve success with Bank Owned "REO" properties you really need to submit a cash offer with no contingencies but this is not the case with short sales.

Isn't it funny how one $10,000 price adjustment on a $200,000 short sale listing can create a frenzy and multiple offers? I have found that over priced short sales are a great opportunity for the buyer's agent that understands the short sale process. If a short sale is listed for $200,000 and the comps are $160,000, one can offer $160,000 and educate the listing agent and seller with the comps. I have had great success with … (2 comments)
