Title & Conveyancing Committee - at BBA; RSVP
Short Sale for Real Estate Professionals
Join us as we discuss remedies available for mortgagors who cannot meet their debt obligations and thus may need to negotiate a "short" sale. A short sale is a disposition of their real estate collateral for the mortgage loan where the mortgage holder agrees to accept a payment in an amount that is less than the total amount due under the promissory note executed by the mortgage borrower. Although some lenders may seem indifferent to negotiating work outs for residential mortgages, the increase in mortgage defaults and predatory lending/predatory servicing lawsuits may motivate mortgage lenders to work with mortgagors, particularly when the borrower makes an effort to communicate with the lender. This discussion addresses one of the remedies available to a seller in default. Please note change of topic. The Beach Rights program will be held in May. We apologize for the inconvenience. |
