Thanks Valarie,

I'm not concerned with the length of time or if the lender approves or not initially. I'm just looking to puchase homes where a homeowner IS OPEN to a short sale, maybe to save their credit, or avoid foreclosure, or get out from two mortgages...whatever the situation. I can usually figure out if it's a home I'd be interested in within a few minutes of talking to the Realtor.

I'm looking for homes in decent condition - not perfect, but not necessarily trashed either.
Thanks.

Hi Maryann,
I'm sure that you'll have multiple responses within the next couple of hours. As you are probably aware, there is presently an abundance of short-sale homes on the market throughout Rockingham County. While the home-owner may be open for a cash purchase, the final say rests with the lender, and unless the lender has set the short sale price, this could be a lengthy process, even for a cash buyer such as yourself. For this reason, you may wish to consider homes that are NOT short-sale situations, where the Seller is able to make their own decision on what is an acceptable cash offer. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me at your convenience. My contact info is below. Thanks, and have a GREAT day :)
Valerie
