Robert Knudsen Short Sale Deal! What to offer!
25 June 2011 | 6 replies
You are the buyer so the lender could care less what you say about a BPO.The BPO was performed by a third party who was paid a fee for doing a non-biased order.This is why with REO's you will have the listing broker in pre-list do a BPO and they will order and third party one as well.In short sales they will order a 3rd party BPO.If FHA short sale they will get an appraisal.Investors always look for minor stuff like carpet and paint.SO ARE regular home buyers who will pay much closer to asking than usually and investor will.So just watch this property but it might go to a regular buyer before it gets even close to being reduced to your price.Better values are in properties needing a lot of work in good areas that turn off regular home buyers.
