In the event our only offer to purchase comes back high enough to cover the first but not enough to cover the second-can we still close? Are companies likely to settle before it gets to that?
hi jonsteven!
welcome to forums!
you can go for a short sale. however, the deficient amount that results from the short sale needs to be paid off to the second mortgage lender after the short sale is over. if you do not pay the deficient balance, the lender can charge off the account. in that case, a collection agency will contact you and harass you for the dues.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
