What is a short sale?

Division of Market Regulation: Key Points About Regulation S...
A short sale is generally the sale of a stock you do not own (or that you will borrow for delivery).1 Short sellers believe the price of the stock will fall, or are seeking to hedge against potential price volatility in securities that they own. If the price of the stock drops, short sellers buy the stock at the lower price and make a profit. If the price of the stock rises, short sellers will incur a loss.

Can I do a short-sale myself?

M&G Homebuyers - FAQ
If you have the knowledge and expertise to complete a short-sale transaction, you can do this yourself. The process isn't easy, and can be complicated even for professionals. Negotiating with the bank to obtain a short-sale is a small part of the process. If you fulfill the criteria that the bank is looking for, and obtain the short-sale, you still need to find someone to purchase the house at the new discounted price within the allotted time span.

Why would the lender do a short sale on the property?

MyTrainingSystem.com
this stage in the game, the lender has already missed three to six payments on the loan. If it goes to auction, they will likely buy it for what is owed and take upon them the responsibility for taxes, insurance, yard care, utilities, etc. Since banks are not in the business of selling property, they will list the property with an agent and end up paying a 5% to 6% commission on it as well. There are also substantial legal costs involved in foreclosure.

Will A Short Sale Stop A Foreclosure?

FAQ for Foreclosures
While the Short Sale itself does not stop the foreclosure, lenders normally work with a homeowner and delay the foreclosure if necessary, if they receive a legitimate Short Sale proposal. The key here is to submit a complete, well organized, Short Sale proposal. The lender does not want your property, and would rather resolve the situation before the foreclosure is complete.

Why do lenders agree to a short sale?

NW Home Consultants | Foreclosure Specialists | Creating Sol...
Once a homeowner falls behind on payments, the lender will file a Notice of Default (NOD). The NOD is to give notice that the property is to be sold at public auction. If the debt owed against the property is higher than its current market value, often times the house will sell at auction and the lender will get the house back. Generally, lenders do not want property returned to them. Lenders are in the business of giving loans, not holding property.

What can I do to close quickly once the Short Sale is approved?

Investors FAQs :: My SoCal Short Sales
If your offer is the highest offer on a property that is under lender review, make sure that you have your cash or financing in order. If financing the property, the only outstanding prior to doc condition should be the Appraisal. Once the lender approving the Short Sale has ordered a BPO, it usually means they are within a week or two of making a decision. When the bank/lender notifies us of approval, the appraisal (if needed) should be ordered ASAP.

The bank is giving me "the run around" on my short sale, what am I doing wrong?

This is normal. Don't give up. Banks don't want to make it too easy so this is sometimes the case. Only about 30% of short sales work out, so be patient, it's a numbers game.

I am current on my mortgage, will my lender consider a Short Sale?

Lender Mediation Service
The answer is, maybe. Some lenders will accept a Short Sale file for approval on loans that are not delinquent. Other lenders will not accept the file until the loan is delinquent. From my experience, you should wait. If your current on your mortgage, the likelihood of your lender believing you hardship is SLIM and will get denied.
Related Questions

Lender Mediation Service

Mortgage lenders have come under legal pressure to work with borrowers to equitably resolve situations where borrowers are unable to meet their mortgage obligation, particularly when the borrower makes an effort to arrive at a compromise solution.

My property is in rough shape and needs work, can I still do a Short Sale?

Lender Mediation Service
Absolutely. In fact, lenders are more motivated to do a Short Sale on a property that needs work than on a property that doesn't. The lender knows the risk of loss goes up when they foreclose on a property that needs lots of work. Aside from expense of completing the work, lenders are simply not set up to get the work done. They are in the loan business, not the fix it business.
Related Questions

Can the buyers pay me money for doing the short sale?

Lender Mediation Service
NO! If the bank finds out the buyer 'gave' you money later on, you could have the bank coming after you for FRAUD.
