Question: How do you handle 2nd mortgages on short sales?
Is there a web page that explains, or does anyone know how I handle the second mortgage on a short sale? I've done a few short sales, but only with a 1st mortgage.

Another time, I was told by the 2nd that they wanted ALL of their money. They (HSBC) said that if they are going to lose out in getting paid, then why help the owner and out let the owner get away scott-free.

The bank has to accept the short sale offer, since it will be taking less that the total amount that you owe them. But if you can even get an offer, it might be worth trying, since a short sale will allow you to end the foreclosure. You won't get any proceeds from the sale or anything, but you won't be foreclosed and evicted, either. Hope that helps. ForeclosureFish
