Short Sale negotiating -- Arm's Length transactions?

I am ready to do my first short sale negotiation. I have all the docs from the borrower, including the authorization. I called the bank and told them what I want to do and asked where I should send the auth and the short sale package.

I was told if I am buying the house, I can't be the one to negotiate the short sale. They said someone else would have to initiate the short sale process, like the realtor, that it has to be an arms-length transaction.

What am I missing here? I thought this is what short sale investors do, all day long.

Appreciate any help you can give me.

  • "Today you are only allowed to process if you are a licensed debt adjuster, realtor or an attorney."

    When did that start Nick??     And what's the workaround ??

  • So I can't process my own short sale if I am the buyer? (I'm not a realtor.) How would I do it if I don't have a staff or a realtor to do it? Thanks.

  • So someone who works for you processes but you are controlling the negotiations? Who does the guy at your office tell the bank that he is?

  • Hi Nick, I thought you negotiated the deal yourself. How does this work?

    Fritz,

    There is many ways to do it, but as for me I am the buyer for my deals and I always get someone else to negotiate the deal on my behalf.
