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.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
