Should a Buyer consider an Orlando short sale?
If you have patience then buying a short sale is the way to go. If you can wait the 3-4 months that it takes to negotiate a short sale then your patience should pay off. A short sale is another word for pre-foreclosure. You are purchasing from a motivated seller and negotiating with a motivated lender. The seller want to sell to avoid foreclosure and the lender also wants to avoid foreclosing. Foreclosing on a property is very expensive to a lender, sometimes costing the lender up to $40,000 to foreclose on a property. The savings can depend upon many factors like condition of the property, location of the property, the motivation of the lender and seller. A buyer normally can purchase the property for approximately 10%-20% below market value.
So, if you have the patience and are looking for a great deal on an Orlando area property please give me a call.
