WOW, short sales seems to be taking a different approach these days. I had 1 approved thru the Lender and Lender said the MI company would get back to us when they figured out how much the seller would need to pay back? I'm thinking about $2 to $5 grand----long story short, the MI company came back with the following terms: $30,000 at $125.00 per month with 0% interest---Radian the MI company will be paying back to the Lender $102,468.39
Short sales are crazy. I pend 6 months on one earlier this year. What a crazy transaction!
Oh, and it never closed :)
The Short Sale process itself is distorted, I had a deal working with Wells Fargo and they denied when the deal was only short the attorney fees and then it sold on the courthouse steps for 50k less, they are not trying to help the customers in forclosure at all!
Tom,
MI companies are bleeding heavily nowadays, pretty much like many mortgage lenders are, on account of the slow real estate market. This is one way they try to get something back from a bad insurance policy.
We just closed one which was 3 days shy of 6 months ! Lender was of little to no help !
