“The lender will not do anything until it’s out of the bk.”

That should be the correct answer. Why? Because the automatic stay of bankruptcy temporarily suspends collection activity. Negotiating a short sale is a form of collection activity. However, many lenders’ servicing clerks ignore Federal law.

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has worked a short sale while the Seller is in a chapter 13. I’m looking at one with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd on it.

I know we need approval from the BR court. I was just wondering if the lenders are more or less likely to short when the borrower is in a 13.

Thanks.

call up the trustee and get them on your side, then call the lenders…they’ll work with you…
