Hello again! This is Kris Krohn with REITV. Today we're gonna be talking about short sales!

Are they good, are they bad, are they useful, are they a pain in the butt? You'll find out!

So, short sales is a fantastic way of transacting real estate. It's a great way to get some

fantastic deals. But I'm gonna tell you right now, many people get deeply misled with how

to win the game in short sales.

For me, it's just one of the many sources that I use for tracking down really good deals.

And, here's one of the things I don't tell you about short sales -

A short sale is basically pre-foreclosure. Someone is losing their house to the bank.

And when you're losing your house to the bank, the bank gives you a certain amount of time

to remedy the mortgage, maybe catch up.

And so that person is trying to see if they can actually get away with selling the house

before it goes into technical foreclosure. So, that person is so motivated to move it,

they're going to list it with a price that the bank hasn't even approved!

So often short sales look deceptively like the absolute best deals; better than they

actually are. And the truth, they're not that good a deal. You just don't know.

So what you're ending up doing is you're actually making an offer on a house that may not even

be sold through a short sale. They're just collecting hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

of offers so they can go to the bank and say "Bank, listen, we wanna stay out of foreclosure.

Would you accept any one of these 300 offers?".

And, HOW do you win THAT game, right? I mean, so many people will like, easily get their

house under contract, get it accepted with its stipulation that the bank has to approve it.
