We have a guy that likes to buy short sale homes and villas.  Properties that are upside down means you owe more than your property is worth.  This is a cash buyer.  If you need to move fast, or behind in payments, near foreclosure or bankruptcy, you may not have to hope and pray for someone to come along to solve your problem.

This guy is buying upside down homes and villas.

It will cost nothing to sit down and learn the short sale process and see if your property fits his criteria.  You have nothing to lose.  My direct line is (843)842-0805.  If your property is not currently listed, we will meet together with our buyer to see if this meets the type of property he is looking for.  Thank you.

If you are a seller and you owe more than your house is worth, you may not want to kick the ball down the street until next year.  The debt forgiveness bill that expires in 2012 for permanent residences is something sellers should take a serious look at.  For example, if I purchased a home for $200,000 and then sold it at market value for $100,000, I would not have to pay taxes on what is considered $100,000 in earnings.  After December 2012, this may no longer be available to borrowers!    Read the rest of this entry

This is the minimum opening bid.  They accept Visa!  Owners will have up to 12 months to redeem their real property paying you interest for the time that you carried the property (interest shall not exceed the opening bid).  If real property is not redeemed, a delinquent tax sale deed is issued to the successful bidder.  All stamp fees and preparation costs must be paid prior to the deed recording and the property is deeded lien free.   If you would like to do a little digging or due diligence on any of the properties, give me a call at (843)842-0805 or send me an email at robbie@robbiebunting.com.
