If the owners acquiesced (implied waiver), you may be able to argue your case on that basis.

My buy at the bottom comment didn't mean to imply selling everything at the top and buying at the absolute bottom.

You have gotten basically good advice, it seems it wasn't what you wanted to hear and seems you were called out based on your claims as being a broker, implying a licensened mortgage broker.

I'm not sure the bank would even allow you to charge the seller the difference -- on the HUD, the bank would protest, and POC you'd be breaking the short sale affidavit you signed saying there were no financial agreements other than what was disclosed on the HUD.It's all well and good that you take a hard stance with the bank -- and it's great if they cave and you get your desired commission -- but arguing that you have any legal right to a certain percentage doesn't make sense to me; and implying that you'd forego the transaction or charge your client the difference seems flat out unethical for a short sale.Again, as a licensed agent myself, I'm thrilled if you can get every possible penny from the bank, but your stance seems a bit too ideologic here, as opposed to doing what's best for your client.Just my $.02...

For sub2 purchases, when you acquire the remaining mortgage balance does that imply you are also acquiring the seller's equity?

As you know, this post centers around one of my favorite categories of real estate, missing owner properties.The reason I stopped using the term 'abandoned' some years ago is that it implies that no one cares.
