kent: Greentree policy now is to demand 5% of purchase price
- 04/14/10 01:46 AM
I've only been doing short sales for a couple of years but have noticed a disturbing trend as of late. When I started doing shorts the 2nd lien holders were typically getting 10% of their balance approved by the first. Later on that went down to 5%, and more recently with direction from Fannie Mae and the HAMP program they have gone to $3,000. Greentree seems to be bucking the system. I have two right now where the first has all but approved the deal but Greentree is demanding 5% of the PURCHASE PRICE! Now we are used to outragous claims … (2 comments)
