Short Sales- How To Become The Bank's Best Friend

By:


That's why many short sale investors fail. They don't know what they're doing, or they give the bank the impression that they don't, and they'll fill out the paperwork with no response.

Banks don't have time to teach people how to do things. Banks aren't going to respond to people that request short sale paperwork if they don't know what they're doing, and they definitely aren't going to help people along the way. Banks that used to have 30 or 40 foreclosures on their plate now have hundreds, and only work with investors that know what they're doing.

The good news is that you don't have to really know all the ins and outs of Short Sales to know what you're getting into. You just have to sound like you know what you're doing. Learn the lingo and figure out how to short sale a little before you call. Then, once you've got the paperwork and are filling it out, you can figure out the rest as you go. Send them the paperwork with an offer, and the chances are good that they'll get back to you on it. What is a short sale, though? A short sale is going to the bank and buying the bad mortgage directly at a discounted rate.

Most investors that learn how to short sale try to work with the over-financed properties because the sellers are the easiest to work with. They owe more than the property is worth and they're looking to get out. Don't limit yourself to investing only in these properties, because they're the most difficult ones to profit from. When it comes to how to short sale effectively, you have to know how to find the properties that are under-financed or worth more than the loan(s) on them. There are better ways to go about doing a short sale, including buying the second mortgage subject to the first mortgage being paid.

One of the best ways to do a short sale is to avoid dealing with the seller altogether. You can go in and buy the smaller second mortgage from the lien holder directly, and then profit from the sale of the property without even having to find the seller. When many people give up because they can't find the seller to deal with them, you can be purchasing these deals without even caring where the seller is or what they're doing. As long as you know what you're doing, learning how to short sale can prove to be an effective investment opportunity.
