If you are looking to cancel your foreclosure.com subscription, you should go to foreclosure.com. Posting here on Trulia won't do anything. - Yesterday, 10:01

How long does it take a bank to approve a short sale offer?

Asked Wed Jul 8 2009, 21:03 by Firsttimebuy…  -  Home Buying in 85382  -  3 answers
Jay Thompson answered:
My personal experience is 8 days to 21 weeks.

How's that for narrowing it down?

There is no way to answer this question. It depends on the lender, the loss mitigation officer, the agents involved, the type of loan, whether or not there is a second, the payoff amount, a healthy does of luck, and apparently the phase of the moon. And other factors. - Wed Jul 8 2009, 22:06
Thumper, Home Buyer in Buckeye, AZ

Looking for a reputable Byers agent. My wife and I are looking to buy an Short term investment

Asked Wed Jul 8 2009, 07:12 by Thumper  -  Home Buying in Buckeye  -  7 answers
Jay Thompson answered:
Thumper -

Good on you for "planning in advance" for retirement! While I'm not sure exactly how you define "short term investment", my only advice there is to be VERY careful. This isn't the best market for short term anything -- it's still way too volatile in my opinion to be thinking short term. Others will almost certainly disagree.

Interview several agents, find one that you "click" with. Trust your gut instinct as it's usually right.

Thanks to you and you wife for your service. - Wed Jul 8 2009, 08:37
Ab, Other/Just Looking in 85373

Does Beneficiary Deed ownership make you an "owner" of a home thus disqualifying one from $8K tax credit?

Asked Tue Jul 7 2009, 11:56 by Ab  -  Home Buying in Arizona  -  2 answers
Jay Thompson answered:
Ab -

In all my research on the first-time homebuyers tax credit, I've never seen a distinction made based on the type of deed a property is held with.

But, I am not a tax professional and would strongly suggest you consult with one.

Also be aware there are currently 4 bills in the House and one in the Senate that are all trying to both extend the credit, AND eliminate the first-time buyer requirement.

Of course, who knows if any of those bills will be signed into law. But the fact that multiple legislators are proposing changes at least holds promise some changes may occur. - Tue Jul 7 2009, 12:22
