Hi Evan from Sayville, NY-You asked about whether a lender would pay real estate commissions and closing costs with a short sale.I negotiated a lot of short sales after the Great Financial Crisis.Short sales are similar to dealing with a bank owned property accept the bank is trying to avoid taking it back so the terms, specifically an acceptable purchase price, have to be negotiated.The thing I found that was important to negotiate was the lender agreeing to settle without further recourse for the seller.

Hello everyone,I live in Greensboro and I’m trying to decide what is the most financially wise course of action.

I am still waiting for the Court to sign off on the sale ratification, before my foreclosure attorney can get the title transferred and recorded. 

We're currently both working a W-2 job with a combined household income of roughly $150k, and searching how to start to our journey to financial freedom. 

Prioritize your financial stability.
