Goodmorning,How are Deficiency Judgments and the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act effecting the amounting of short sales that are on the market and the deals that pertain to them with the sellers.

We use our understanding of debt relief to buy short sold and other homes all over southern california.To date we have done well in this investment space, and our activity has helped us find 4 other off market homes.  

Any relief there is a more valuable "dollar" to seller than on the sales price.  

If you violate the automatic stay it could be more expensive.I think you are on the right track about making a Motion for Relief From the Automatic Stay.  

It's actually in many times a relief for them knowing that you are going to take care of it for them yourself and are only charging such little money to do it!

Do you have a system of relief? 

Since you are an owner the loan would be a refinance and not a purchase which would give you some relief from down payment and qualifications.  

There is a thing known as "pendente lite" relief where both parties may request exclusive possession of a house they both have legal title and/or equitable title to.

This is such a relief.

It is a relief to know I'm not trying to take on something completely crazy.
