Are Short Sale Double Closings Dead

Home foreclosures and short sales of a face of the strategies involved in the work of "art". "Face" of the core idea lender prevention (which is a broker price opinion and is based on your conversation skills), the price at which the property can be sold to another buyer is much lower than with a purchase price is negotiated.

The bank can accept and the final purchase price to the buyer (including closing and other costs), the difference between what is big enough, the "spread" in a number of savvy investors can lead to a nice profit.

Usually this purchase and resale transaction (called back to back, and the weak, A and B, or in a bar about a) the same day is also within minutes of each other, or. The "old days", it was somewhat common for a single source of funding for a full treatment and double document funded.

Prohibit lenders began again to change some of the language in the letter of approval. The new language would prevent a single source of funding from title companies to conduct transactions to double from close range. Everything worked in the investor community was over an independent source of funding for the purchase (one side) and a separate source of funding for resale side (end buyer, B side) is.

The two sources of funding resulted in two different endpoints.

Hard money lenders, so-called "cash-flash" buy side agreement with (a part of) a double closing short sales with the necessary funds to provide investors emerged. This technology is still in play today, but can come to an end.

Recently, a new verbiage in the letter of approval has been linked by some lenders. The first is:

"The closing of this transaction is a transfer of ownership within 30 days. "

And now a new one to replace the verbiage was added as an amendment to the escrow instructions:

"If the buyer or the seller had knowledge of, or belief in the deal with any sale or other transfer will be in conjunction with, or together, you should notify the Settlement Agent. Settlement agent combination of knowledge or confidence or information as will happen with this deal, or together with any sale or other transfer, settlement agent to proceed to obtain a written authorization should contact the lender or the approval null and will be considered void. "

Okay. I hear you already, just "Flash Cash" off before use and separated from the other end (what, in fact about 30 days, which means there is some debate). One issue that I see that the old way, and investors' Cash Flash "was protected from damage because the same day and resale transactions (side B) is closed usually on the financing closed in warranty is. the big issue is that these lenders' cash Flash "and nearly 100% of fair market value and the amount of time that the lender must take place between the first and second closing held in the same place for about resale goes.

It will be interesting to see what will be in action at the investor market.
