I found a condo who's owner is in pre-foreclosure and is looking for a way out. I've contacted the holders of both 1st & 2nd mortgages and I need help structuring the deal.
Condo details.
1st Mortgage ---- $139,000
2nd Mortgage ---- $49,000 "equity line of credit"
Condo fees ---- $6,100
FMV of the condo: $70,000
The 2nd note holder is willing to accept my offer of $9,000. But will not agree to a short sale.
Condo fees will accept $3,000
Now here's where I run into problems. The 1st Mortgage holder will agree only to a short sale. And only @ FMV.
I've not yet approached them with an offer.
If I can get feedback on how to proceed with the deal from this point, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the deal - the second mortgage is already doing a short sale by accepting $9,000 instead of $49,000.
If the first mortgage will not go lower than the $70,000 as a total your best to give your offer and see what happens. First has the best position. If property goes to the auction then the second will lose everything so your $9,000 is a comparably good deal.
Make an offer and see. This may be one that goes to auction that you would follow after the auction.
