Don't Dump Investors
23, 2008.) Our Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, says “as our economy works through this difficult period, we will look for additional opportunities to try to avoid preventable foreclosures.

Short sales rising
Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property.

Tips for Buying Short Sales from the Lender
With more and more sellers unloading their homes for less than what they owe on their mortgages, now is a good time for investors to start negotiating “short sales” with lenders . Next, when you talk with the lender's loss mitigator, you'll want to find out three things: • Will the lender agree to a short sale; • What additional information they'll need to complete the process; • Request the “payoff quote schedule,” which is what the lender thinks they are owed. Real estate investors can find good deals as long as you are aware of the extra time and work required to make it happen.
