Short Sale turned to forclosure--Need Help!!

Frank Walton
Posted

So i have been working on a short sale for about 6 months now and it's looking like it might go into forclosure because of irs leans on the house. So anyway my question is if it go's into forclosure how do you find an investor in your area or does the investor even have to be in your area to seal the deal. I just need someone who knows the forclosure processe to either buy the house and then i buy it off of the investor or if they do all the paper work and the negotiating. So any help on this would be much appreciatedthanks.

not sure this helps b/c you would need mortgage holder to be on board. I have a NPN with an IRS lien right now we are trying to short sale..from the IRS site:

“We don’t want the IRS to be a barrier to people saving or selling their homes. We want to raise awareness of these lien options and to speed our decision-making process so people can refinance their mortgages or sell their homes,†said Doug Shulman, IRS commissioner.

“We realize these are difficult times for many Americans,†Shulman said. “We will ensure we have the resources in place to resolve these issues quickly and homeowners can complete their transactions.â€

Filing a Notice of Federal Tax Lien is a formal process by which the government makes a legal claim to property as security or payment for a tax debt. It serves as a public notice to other creditors that the government has a claim on the property.

In some cases, a federal tax lien can be made secondary to another lien, such as a lending institution’s, if the IRS determines that taking a secondary position ultimately will help with collection of the tax debt. That process is called subordination. Taxpayers or their representatives may apply for a subordination of a federal tax lien if they are refinancing or restructuring their mortgage. Without lien subordination, taxpayers may be unable to borrow funds or reduce their payments. Lending institutions generally want their lien to have priority on the home being used as collateral.

To apply for a certificate of lien subordination, people must follow directions in Publication 784, How to Prepare an Application for a Certificate of Subordination of a Federal Tax Lien. Again, there is no form but there must be a typed letter of request and certain documentation. The request should be mailed to one of 40 Collection Advisory Groups nationwide. See Publication 4235, Collection Advisory Group Addresses, for address information.

Taxpayers or their representatives may apply for a certificate of discharge of a tax lien if they are giving up ownership of the property, such as selling the property, at an amount less than the mortgage lien if the mortgage lien is senior to the tax lien.
