Short Sale Advice Needed! - Posted by Shogan

I have 6 potential short sales in the hopper. I have never completed a short sale, I am expecting to close at least one or two of these. My question is this: Do I base my offers from the price I expect to sell it for in today’s market? For example: If the homeowner purchased the house for $443k last summer, but in today’s market if I want an offer within 30days, I feel I should put the same “pretty” house on the market at $350k. So I am looking for confirmation that I should be offering 70% of $350k or an initial offer of $245. The first is owed $355k the second is owed $88k. What would be a reasonable first offer to the 2nd mortgage? thanks for any feedback!! How are other short sale investors doing. I cannot find anyone with equity in our area, I am only being presented with short sale opportunities right now. Mostly, pretty houses in pretty areas!

Offer whatever the bank will take. You might want to consult with a psychic at this point, as their guess would be about as good.
Basically, try and get the BPO’s numbers and see if you can come close or prove why your numbers are what they are.
