If there is only one loan on the property then:

Take it over “subject to” the 1st.

This will depend upon what the present payments are so that you can L/O or do a land ILC and get a couple of hundred cash flow and a cash payment at both ends.

A realtor I’m working with showed me a house that is going into VA foreclosure. It is listed by another agent. Here’s the numbers:

Asking price: $62.4K
Approx. balance on loan: $60K
FMV: $75k
Fix-up needed: $4500

I don’t think it’s worth getting a new loan and the owner isn’t willing to go below loan balance. It’s a divorce situation and she seems ambivalent toward the foreclosure (her ex will lose his VA benefits). Also, it looks like she’s behind in her payments ~4 months ($2000-$2500). I know this looks pretty skinny, would appreciate any ideas of how to make it work or should I move on?

Thanks,
Mike
