If You’re Hunting for a Pinellas County Home, You Can Pay 10% to 30% BELOW Market Value Buying a Pinellas Short Sale
December 9th, 2007 categories: Buy Pinellas Foreclosures
In our earlier post, we told you how to save huge money buying your next Pinellas home with the best-kept investor secret - short sales!
A short sale occurs when a lender agrees to accept a motgage payoff amount that is less than the full amount due. The seller saves his credit from a full-blown foreclosure proceeding. The bank saves substantial money in carrying costs, repairs, attorney fees and maintenance. You get a fantastic deal on that Pinellas short sale!
Here’s are a few quick tips:
-
Tampa Bay Investors know that true short sale homes only last on the market a few days.
-
You’ve got to have a source for finding the short sale homes
-
You need a game plan and an experienced team to make that home yours!
-
Buying a short sale is a better investment than a foreclosure property.
-
Foreclosures are often not such a great deal because they have lots of hidden costs that the bank has already absorbed, and the banks pass those costs to you.
How do you buy a Pinellas short sale or a Pasco Short sale?
Find an realty team that’s fully educated and experienced and has a successful track record of actually closing these transactions. Ask your Realtor about their track record, then call us and ask about our team’s success rate.
-
You’ve got to find an agent that knows how to find these properties - they often aren’t on the MLS. And you aren’t going to find short sales on Craigslist Tampa Bay.
-
There are only a handful of Realtors that specialize in this complex process.
