Short Sales: Drawbacks To Bank Of America's New Short Sale Program

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Action
IL – Despite the fact that the Cooperative short sale may help the borrower leave the home without some of the negative aspects of a foreclosure, it has its drawbacks that you may need to consider before you decide to explore this option. Below are some of the drawbacks: Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. Deed in Lieu. In the event that your home does not sell, then the program stipulates that the next step is a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. This affects your credit just like a foreclosure does. We not see why you couldn't refuse the deed-in-lieu at that stage and attempt another short sale. Or, at least live "rent free" until the bank forecloses. Second Lender / Mortgage Insurance Refusal to Participate. If you have two loans on a short sale, then you will always need the approval of the second lender to participate. If the second lender does not agree to the first mortgage's offer, then they might refuse to approve the short sale. Moreover, if the loan has mortgage insurance, the Mortgage Insurance company will need to approve the sale as well. Thinking about a short sale?
