Why don't people who are losing their homes to foreclosure sell them? Also,.?

Will banks negotitate a short sale instead of taking the owners home?

Answer:
I do that all the time.you go in and pay the arrears,then you make a contract with the people who are losing the home.Reguardless of what these other people say you can stop a foreclosure and take over the payments.
most people losing homes are just going through a bad time thats why we catch them up keep the home in their names and give them a chance to pay us back and keep their homes.It's really not that hard but,good luck finding anyone here with enough common sense to tell you much about it,they are know it alls who know nothing but,what they've heard or what they think.
We have a lady right now who was losing her home at the age of 71.We paid all her arrears and make her monthly payments,ins.etc.We simply wrote up a contract that deeds the house to us when she passes away,she was 22 years into her payments with the bank and there was no way in hell we were gonna see her on the street.She was losing her home do to the fact she was forced to choose between medicine or housepayments.
They sell them to avoid the foreclosure which ruins their credit. NO, banks are ruthless when it comes to this . they will not negotitate .. instead, it would cost the owner more to stop the foreclosure process.
Thats a very good question I would think that the banks would be happier with any money rather than a home but I don't know for sure & I hope I never find out.
1st if they are losing the home to forclosure, the equity they have is not enough to guarantee clear title to the house,
2nd this does happen if there is enough equity and a buyer is willing to take over the 1st mortgage, etc.
sometimes the debt on the house is actually more than the house is worth.
We own a mortgage brokerage firm and my lady loves to take on the lenders who are foreclosing. She usually doesn't even charge the homeowner for doing it, and I've never seen her lose. We are in a buyer's market right now and it is tough to sell a house to anyone other than one of those vultures who want to buy your home for a song. Banks will, in fact, at least here in Texas, talk to you about a short sale. While they don't like doing it, they often will. There are also loan modification programs, refinance, and some little tricks like putting past due amounts on the back of the loan. If the loan was A paper, then there should be mortgage insurance that will pay if pressed. Most often, loan servicers have made a mistake in processing the foreclosure, and that means a wrongful foreclosure, which can lead to a lawsuit against the lender. Thus, they negotiate. The trick is always to get working on the situation immediately. Don't wait until the last minute. It is normally very doable.
