We received an approval of short sale on Sept 3, 2009. No mention of PMI. Now we are closing tomorrow and upon review by negotiator, suddenly PMI is noticed and sent the information. They come back requesting $25,000 promissary note payable at 0% int for 7 years at about 296 per month.

We were to close tomorrow!! Buyer has movers planned, Seller has taken day off work, and Wham! We are hit with this killer info that totally blows us out of the water! Unbelievable!

Did the Negotiator miss it? Whoever is responsible, does not matter. Probably will not close and Seller will not pay a dime to PMI. CMG is PMI company. I realize we can surely negotiate down, but Seller will not pay a dime at this point. She says "let if forelose"!!! I am done!

Buyer has given notice to Landlord, and have movers coming in two days!

I have emailed all my "resources" for training and loss mitigation contacts for help. Hoping for a miracle by tomorrow morning.

Any suggestions???

Lender is CitiMortgage

Help for Buyer of waterfront property that has lost frontage due to Damn water release...

Situation: Buyer purchased lakefront property on land contract with 121' frontage. They have been making payments for 3 years. This spring water was release from a Damn to help protect "cricket Frogs" in the area. Now the land has only 74' of frontage and Buyer can no longer build the home they had planned to build. Furthermore, current setback rules will only leave about 14' of buildable area, thus it may not be possible to build at all!

Questions:
1. What options are available to buyer? They already have about $100k invested in property. They do not want to walk away, but may not have a choice..
2. If they decide to keep property, can they renegotiate land contract terms?
3. Seller has existing mortgage. What are chances of short sale with 1st mortgage?
4. If determined unbuildable, can Buyer Sue the Seller for non-disclosure, and have investment refunded?
5. Any other ideas?

I feel Buyer should get new appraisal if interested in keeping property and offer to amend land contract to current market value pricing. Will likely be 50% of original purchase price.

Any comments appreciated...

 

I have just spent 3 days in a real estate workshop learing how lease options can be a welcome option to good people who just can't get a mortgage right now due to excessive Lender guidlines.

If you have to rent, why not get something back? For a modest option fee a Buyer/Tenant can control the property while they make the necessary corrections to their credit or take the time necessary to satisfy the Lender enough to approve the mortgage. Then they can "refinance" the home when the time is right.

Of course everything is negotiable, so work out a deal with the Seller that is a win-win for all parties involved. Feel free to contact me with questions or help in gettting a deal that works for you.
