There is no point in researching title until a bid is submitted by the lender which is a deficiency and is at a price point that interests you.

Your agreement with the Mortgagee allowing the Short Sale should, for your benefit, include waiver of seeking a deficiency judgement.

In your area, can a deficiency judgment occur after the sheriff sale?

He did mention obtainig a deficiency judgment on a warp, which may not completly wash if he went up against a good attorney who would point out to the country judge that secured installment sales of equity are not the same as a cash loan advanced to a borrower.

•Tenant shall bring to the Landlord’s attention any and all other problems, deficiencies, unsafe or potentially dangerous conditions in, at, or around the Leased Premises promptly.

Are you seeing banks going after sellers/borrowers for deficiency judgments?

You're quite lucky to live in a state where deficiency judgements are rarely pursued.

Same with condition, better location, quality of construction, a more popular style, lot size, being on sewer, or a comp having deficiences, but all of these issues can be justified in the market.Bottom line, secondary market, FHA, VA, USDA will require at least one comp being higher than the sale price, so if financing is involved look for a higher comp.

Forgot to mention if the people you gave a mortgage too have anything of value to lose (credit scores,etc.).You can mention that you can pursue them for a deficiency balance if it forecloses etc. and come after them for money owed.

It sounds like you might agree with some posters that the door selection seems deficient for the neighborhood...if that is the case, then it sounds like changing them to something more suitable.
