Short sale usually means that the seller is atleast 4 months behind in payments. In a short sales, banks sometimes accept less than what is owed on the mortgage in lieu of a full blown foreclosure.

The seller has no say in accepting less than the owed amount unless the seller can pay the difference. Banks are slow as molasses when it comes to approving the seller for the short sale process.

I wouldn't hold my breath while you wait for the bank's response. 30-60 days or more for the bank to approve the seller for a short sale aren't uncommon.

Good luck!

Definitely check w/ the county tax assessor on past taxes paid. I believe its public info. You may even be able to find in online by county, address, owner.

That house is a steal for that price.where i'm at it would go for an easy $500,000/$600,000.

Soooooo while the bank eats that home into forclosure were going to do a walk thru of this home. Its a bit more on the budget but it looks awesome, from the photos and its half way between Amber and I's work 10 acres woohoo! another reason to buy a backhoe:yeah: plus its not far from the local golf course:U:
