Short Sales & HOA Dues Florida

[Beau Miller]

Does anyone know if unpaid HOA Dues, Fees, etc. survive a short sale. I'm guessing they would, unless negotiated during the Short Sale, but wanted hear some opinions on here. Thanks!

A short sale is just a sale with a discounted payoff to the lender. It's not like a judicial foreclosure where it wipes out/off any debt from title. There's usually an escrow and title insurance involved. IMO the goal would be to get any past due dues/fees paid as part of the sale. Lots of lenders won't go for it, but you may be able to get the seller to pay. You you may be able to negotiate a discounted payoff with the HOA.
