Antioch CA – It is possible to sell your home if you have multiple mortgages. But, it can be difficult. This is something many short sale homeowners have to consider because they have multiple mortgage.

All the mortgages on the property will have to be satisfied before you can give clear title to the buyer. But the most important negotiation is the one which has to be made with the lenders; which will be two or three in case of multiple mortgages on your home.

Negotiating with two or more lenders might seem to be an intimidating task. But, you do have a strong negotiating position because second mortgages typically receive nothing if the home is foreclosed by the primary lender.

It is also possible for the first mortgage company to reject a short sale offer if they thinks that they can do better with a foreclosure. Most second mortgages lien on the property is wiped out in a foreclosure.

They will opt for that if the second mortgage is demanding to much money to approve the short sale. A second or third mortgage is called a junior mortgage.

(Third mortgages are rare. We have never seen a fourth mortgage on over 100 short sales we have worked on.)

The junior mortgage received a much smaller percentage of whatever they are owed. Most of them agree to the short sale with them being paid $3,000, and sometimes less than that.

The easiest second mortgage negotiations are short sales of piggyback loans. A piggy back loan is the junior mortgage when a single bank issues two mortgage against the same house.

This was very common during the housing boom. The loan officers at many banks offered this combination to borrowers. The costs were usually lower than getting just one mortgage and the banks agreed to the loans.

This piggy back loan is the second mortgage which is written off by the same lender as of the first mortgage. In this case the realtor or the home owner will be able to negotiate with a single person at the bank that is handling the two loans. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Shonn Thompson, Better Homes Realty, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
