You would have control and cashflow w/o needing to get your own mortgage. The tenant pays your PITI and you have $350 cashflow each month. You're in the last 11 year's of a mortgage so you are getting great principal reduction. This is creative finance at its best!

Post: Can you do a short sale in a redemption period?

Thank you for your answer. Is your answer that it could never happen or that it is just improbable. Doesn’t the bank still hold the loan if there are no bids at the auction and the owner still holds the deed at that point?   The problem I’m having accepting either answer is that I have people who have told me that they have conducted short sales during the redemption.  They were probably started before the auction date.   But in one case I tried, Shellpoint said they would never.

I had always thought you had until the end of the redemption period in redemption states if no one buys at the auction. I had a short sale pending with Shellpoint and they wouldn't postpone the auction, it was held and no one bid. They say it is now REO property and tossed my short sale documents. They said they never consider short sales after the auction date and I now have to wait 6 months for the REO realtor to list the property to make an offer? Is this the case with most companies? Any strategies available to keep my short sale going with Shellpoint? It is a conventional mortgage if that is relevant.

For those of you that do short sales, have you run into situations (or is it the norm?) that banks will not do short sales if the foreclosure sale occurs, even if there is a 6 month redemption period (Michigan)? I've been told by Shellpoint, no, even though the property was not bought at the auction. They say it is REO and have to wait till redemption up and make REO offer through their realtor. Is this other people's experience after a property goes to auction?
