Legacy dunes short sale

Tutas Towne Realty and Bryant Tutas  just had another successful Kissimmee Florida Short Sale closing with Bank of America.

 The property:

  Investment Property. 2 bedroom 2 bath condo located in Legacy Dunes in Kissimmee Florida. This home has 1,110 sq ft of living area and was built in 2000. It was purchased in 2006 for $315,000. It Sold 8/30/2012 for $63,000. That's a decline in value of 80% in 6 years. 

  Liens:

  1. 1st Mortgage with Bank of America for $227,000
  2. HOA lien for $16,500

  Hardship:

  •  Loss of income. Loss of renters.

 Summary:

  Tutas Towne Realty placed the property on the market December 2011 for $59,000. 24 days later we negotiated a deal at $59,000.

It was a huge challenge to get the HOA lien paid. When we started the short sale the lien was for $10,000. I used a figure of $12,500 on the prelim HUD knowing the fees were still accruing. Afer 7 months of back and forth I was able to get BofA to agree to pay $11,250 in fees. We ordered a new estoppel only to find that the HOA had passed a new rule increasing the interest and late fees on past due accounts. The amount due shot up to $16,500!! And Bank of America came back and countered at $63,000.

The buyer agreed to the price increase and agreed to pay $2,000 towards the HOA. The HOA came done $1,600 and the Seller agreed to bring $2,000 to closing.

 Tutas Towne Realty closed the transaction on 30 August 2012.  257 days from listing to closing!!

 Bank of America accepted $46,900 or .21 cents on the dollar for the 1st mortgage. 

  ***The Seller received FULL WAIVER OF DEFICIENCY.

Excellent recommendations BB and the market time was amazing.  HOA's have been the thorn for some time however understandably so.  Glad to see you were able to have them budge a little for you.  Congratulations on another TTR SS success!
