Real estate question?

[solid-d]

Im looking to buy a house.. Its nice and I can afford it.. Nice neighborhood, and nice size land.. Good deal too.. My question is that it is already under agreement, but its a short sale.. What exactly is a short sale, and do those fall threw.. Also, what if I gave a higher offer then the current one??

Short sale is when a bank allow the homeowner to sell the property without going through foreclosure. Generally, much less than what the home owner owes.

An agreement for a short sale is when there is contract with contingencies for the house. Until the contract falls through the bidding is closes. It can fall through for many reasons like things not disclosed, inable to get a loan, not passing appraisals...

Im on my fourth piece of real estate and I have yet to pull $$ out of my pocket!!!

One thing I have learned, no matter how much it costs, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A REAL GOOD REAL - ESTATE ATTORNEY!!!!!

It will be the best $400 youll ever spend.

Good Luck!!!
