The Ins and Outs of Short Sales and Foreclosures (with videos!)

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Think Glink Media

What is a short sale?

When you owe more on your home than it's worth you may want to do a short sale. In a short sale the bank forgives some of what you owe them. It's more cost-effective for a bank to do a short sale than foreclose on a home.

 

Short Sale or Foreclosure: Will You Save Money?

Many people think you save money by buying a home that's a short sale or foreclosure. That's not necessarily true. Even if you do save money on a short sale it can take longer to close on escrow. California real estate agent Charlotte Laws talks about saving money with short sales or foreclosures.

 

Foreclosure Auction: Is it Always a Good Deal?

A foreclosure auction may seem like a one stop shop to pick up a foreclosed property after looking at several. But you can also find foreclosures through a real estate agent and do a market comparison to see if you're really getting a good deal. Learn about one agent's visit to a foreclosure auction.

 

Selling a Vacant Home

Is a vacant house easier to sell than a furnished house? Vacant homes allow buyers to look at a home without time constraints. Buyers can see the "bones" of the house without furniture and clutter, allowing the buyer to picture himself/herself in the space. Learn more about selling a vacant home by viewing this Expert Real Estate Tips video.

I agree look like some good deals. we are getting back to early decade levels of 2002, maybe lower?

We have some income property REO's as well.
