What is a short sale and how does a short sale
work?
Simply
put, a short sale is when you sell your property for
less than the mortgage amount - the lender forgives the difference.
If your
property
value in South Lake Tahoe
is less than the amount you owe on your home,
then it doesn't make much sense to continue owning that South Lake Tahoe
home. A third party South Lake Tahoe short sale buyer can
make an offer to the bank to pay off your loan.
Let's say
you bought a South
Lake Tahoe home in 2006 for $250,000 with
10% down. Similar homes in South Lake Tahoe recently sold
for $175,000. You owe about $220,000. Let's also assume
your payments are $1700 per month and you could rent a similar home
for $1200 per month.
A short
sale buyer in South Lake Tahoe will make an
offer to the bank to cash out the lender at a discount to the
face value of the loan. If it is accepted, you can walk away
from the $220,000 debt and owe nothing. The bank relives you of
the debt and does not show a foreclosure on your credit
record.
Now
instead of putting
good money after bad and continuing to
fund a losing investment, you can rent a home in South Lake
Tahoe and save $500 per month.
