Help with short sale?

Tone Mayfield
Posted

My client mother passed away she’s looking to sell her home. Her mother took out a loan for 110k ARV138k

My first question is how do I negotiate and write up a agreement with the bank to lower price of what is owe on the property on the mortgage then release the loan afterwords?

Second question what do I need to sell it to do in this process?

@Tone Mayfield the lender is not an owner and will not secure a realtor. If you wish to buy this property you or the owner need to go find a realtor to get this thing moving along. 

Not sure what the other responses are about. Nowhere was VA mentioned. And a deed in lieu does nothing to help the OP purchase the property- which sounds like the OPs goal.

 Based on the numbers given it’s sounding like a short sale...unless the work is incredibly minor.
