But might help others avoid this pitfall…when a mortgage is transferred between banks, I’m learning they don’t record a lien release with the county. 

Many lenders are using an internal construction loans to replace Homestyle, ChoiceReno, and 203k out of simplicity.

If you fix it and have the receipt with a transferable warranty you should be OK.

As for short-term financing, they are fairly easy to work with but the biggest hurdle is their internal credit model.

Relying on someone who has their 'own team' to run your rental business is a severe lack of internal controls in my opinion.

If you still have the appraisal and it is completed by an AMC you can transfer it and still close on it.

Transfer Taxes 10. 

@Jonathan Greene @Jay Hinrichs @Nicholas L. short sales are almost always done through RE agents and are a major pain the butt if the lender servicer wont respond in a timely fashion.Pre foreclosure you dont use and agent but if your talking NY I think and not totally sure but I think only an attorney can draft the Deed transfering title .
