Short Sale Home
A short sale home is a house that is being sold for less than is owed on the mortgage note. Borrowers facing foreclosure can sometimes engage in short sales with lender approval. The short sale process is pretty complex and requires a tremendous amount of paperwork, but can allow homeowners to walk away without owing additional money.
A short sale home isn't any different than other homes for sale. In fact, these properties can be quite profitable for real estate investors or buyers looking for a good deal. The downside of purchasing short sale homes is the transaction must be handled through the borrower's mortgage lender.

Bank Short Sale
A bank short sale refers to real estate that is either in foreclosure or has been returned to the bank. With the massive influx of foreclosure real estate, many mortgage lenders are beginning to engage in short sales to avoid the expense of the foreclosure process.
Bank short sale properties can consist of single family homes, condominiums, mobile homes, manufactured homes, commercial real estate or vacant land. When borrowers become delinquent on their mortgage note and unable to fulfill their financial obligation, lenders might allow them to engage in a short sale.

Short Sale Real Estate Investor
Short sale real estate is property that has been sold for a lesser amount than the balance due on a mortgage note. This type of real estate transaction occurs when a homeowner is no longer able to fulfill their mortgage obligation and defaults on their loan. In order to stop foreclosure, the lender can elect to allow the homeowner to sell the home for less than is owed on the loan.
Typically, lenders only engage in short sale real estate when the current market value is less than the loan on the property. Short sales are only available to homeowners who have no equity in their home and owe more than the property is worth.

Sell My House Quick
Nearly every day people call me and say, "I need to sell my house quick!" My first question is, "Why?" A person who is facing foreclosure or bankruptcy probably needs to sell their house faster than someone who has inherited probate real estate or owns a second home. It is always important to determine how bad things are before I can help someone develop their exit strategy.
If you are thinking, "I need to sell my house quick" I will ask you the same question - Why? Has your lender sent you foreclosure papers? Are you in the midst of a divorce? Are you ready to walk away from your home because you don't know what to do? If so, I might be able to help and encourage you to submit information about your property via the "We Buy Houses" form on this website.

Buying Houses
Not so long ago people were buying houses at neck-breaking speed. Today, few people qualify for a mortgage loan. There is no doubt the housing market is in a serious slump. Lenders are carrying billions of dollars worth of non-performing loans and bank owned properties. Many homeowners are in serious financial distress; unable to make their house payments and waiting for impending foreclosure.
When I began buying houses, my primary goal was to locate distressed properties below market value. I engaged in house flipping and purchased rental properties. It was rewarding and profitable.
