I just received an approval on a Crestview Florida short sale. Not just any short sale, but on a VA Compromise Sale. When a U.S. veteran has a VA guaranteed mortgage loan, and sells his home in a hardship situation for less than the mortgage balance, there will not be enough to pay back his VA entitlement. That is called a VA Compromise Sale or Offer in Compromise. In that case, when working with Bank of America, you won’t see the dreaded “Deficiency” approval letter, where they “reserve the right to pursue a deficiency”.
Here is the approval letter for a Bank of America VA Compromise sale:
Crestview FL 32539
Dear
This letter will serve as our demand for payment and advised you that Bank of America and its Investors and/or insurers have agreed to accept a short payoff involving the above referenced property. This demand should be used by Escrow and/or Title as our formal demand statement. No additional statement will be issued. This approval is exclusive to this offer only. The conditions of the approval are as follows:
- Loan to close no later than 04/28/10
- Sales price to be $115,000.00
- Seller to make a cash contribution of $0.00 to assist in the closing of the transaction. This contribution will be in the form of certified funds to be deposited into excrow prior to closing.
If you need to do a VA Compromise sale or use the HAP program in Crestview, Niceville, Destin, Fort Walton Beach or Navarre, Florida, you should contact an experienced real estate agent. In fact, I am thinking of one right now 
It’s Wendy!
