Take a look here at this "DELETED TOPIC" over at fanniemae.com.What that means in plain English:If the seller's goal is just to get out of the loan and out of the property, without any net proceeds, and there is sufficient equity to serve in lieu of any down payment, you can refinance the mortgage into your name, and they quit claim at the closing table, leaving you alone on both the mortgage and on title.

The rules on Roth withdrawals state that the rollover proceeds must be held for 5 years OR until the owner reaches 59.5.This allows him to pay some tax now and some later.

We both move on.I don't believe I'm bashing any others on how they run their business.

Sign the addendum with her on it and proceed on.

My commission for consultation will consist of one-thirdof the total net proceeds from the sale and will be paid to the broker through escrow.But it doesn't sound like you're actually doing all the work or getting the work done.

Therefore, you must report attorneys' fees (in box 7) or gross proceeds (in box 14) as described earlier to corporations that provide legal services.Ya just gotta love the consistency of the Internal Revenue Service ;)

This is truly unclear as far as defiencies are concerned because the bank must accept an offer in order for the short sale to proceed.

Did the seller contest or delay the proceeding and run up the legal fees?

I'm still not sure where that puts the market value of the property I have under contract, but at least it's enough to help eliminate the thought that I may be getting ripped off if I proceed through closing.

But in both cases, the walls really should be bashed out, too.
