aprilk: MY HUSBAND I MADE TWO OFFERS TODAY BUT I'M UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE OFFERS AND FINANCING.
SECOND PROPERTY IS SINGLE RESIDENCE 4/2; SQFT 1336 BUILT 1970 SHORT SALE APPROVED LISTED AT 343000.00, AGAIN WE OFFERED 70%, 240000.00 APPROXIMATE UPGRADE IS $10000.00
I am presently working on a "short sale" deal myself. Curious. How did you come up with your offer number to the bank? I see it is 70% discount from listing. What are your supportive documents??? And second, did you submit an owner "hardship letter" along with the offer?
I wish Kim would weigh in here. My deal is a unit in a condo building. I did a property search to see what I was dealing with. I obtainted comparable sales in last 6 months as my supportive documentation to determine an offer price. I need to contact the realtor to ask about the "hardship letter". I also have to check if there are any back taxes owed on the property.
How did you decide to offer at 70% discount. What was your supporting documentation?. DId you submit the harship letter?
This is my first "short sale". Luckly, I have cash to finance it. WOULD you mind sharing everthing you submitted to bank to support you offer price.
AS for 100% financing, I am under the impression that the credit crunch is on, thus no more 100% financing, unless FHA or something else.
Kindly reply.
How did you decide to just go for a 70% discount
