Do you have Short Sale Questions in Cape Coral Florida? This is a list of short sale questions you should ask the listing agent prior to making a contract offer on a bank short sale. I have been helping home owners with short sales since 2006 and I am offering my insight to you.

Asking the right questions to the listing agent can go a long way to greatly increasing your chances of getting an accepted offer and saving you a lot of hopeless time waiting on a reply from the bank. These questions will help you decide what homes are truly a waste of your time as a Home Buyer.

Normally a short sale is a "Great Deal" on "Waterfront Property" in Cape Coral Florida.

(1) How far behind is the Seller on the mortgage payments? Most mortgage companies will not get serious about an offer unless the seller is at least 4 months behind in the mortgage and the bank has already started the process for foreclosure proceedings.

(2) Has the Seller submitted all the required documents to the Lender? The lender will not even give the Listing Agent a reply with out all the sellers required documents. Some banks want the seller required documents and your offer submitted or all at one time. Just knowing the listing agent has all the documents in their file ready will speed up the process.

(3) What kind of discussions have you had with the Lender ? This question puts the listing agent on the spot and opens up discussions. Your Realtor should be able to tell if the listing agent is in tune with the file and the bank. If the listing agent is without a direct line to the assigned Loss Mitigation Officer to the file would in most cases result in a longer then normal reply on your offer.

(4) Dose the Seller have a First and a Second Mortgage ? Is the second it with the same Lender? It takes more time to close a bank short sale with two mortgages and is even more difficult if it involves two different Lenders, the the chances of the deal are greatly reduced, yet some do close but expect a longer wait.

(5) Dose the Seller have PMI ( Private Mortgage Insurance ) on this property? Many times this comes out in the very end of settling the short sale, so your Realtor should ask it up front before making the offer. More often then not, the Investor that bought the insurance will require a promissory note for the balance on his investment, before accepting to close the deal. Most of the time they will not remove their portion of the debt on the property, if the seller can not come to so terms on a cash or a payment plan, the mortgage will not be able to be released from the mortgage regardless of the contract price.

There are some very good deals on homes that are listed as a bank short sales. They normally do not receive as many multi contract offers like bank owned property. Which currently is happening here in Southwest Florida.

I would like to offer a suggestion of a great location for buying a waterfront home in Southwest Florida. Cape Coral Florida is a prime waterfront community that offers prime waterfront living at prices. The city located just west from Fort Myers offers great place to raise a family or as a retirement / vacation home. Check out Sunsplash water park for the Kids! This is not your average water park!

Cape Coral Florida has over 300 miles of canals, with 100 of them are freshwater canals that do not provide gulf access. The homes on these canals run on and average 2 to 4 miles long and may lead to one or two man made lakes, The are great for Bass Fishing! on an average, the homes are mostly built within the last 6 years. The waterfront sunsets are very nice and the homes are not as expensive as saltwater gulf access homes.

If you live on a freshwater canal or lake , you will have to trailer your boat from one of these fresh water homes to a boat ramp such as the three locations provided at Burnt Store Road, The Yacht Club or Everest Parkway near the Mid-Point Bridge. All three locations

There are many great boating locations of gulf access canals in Cape Coral Florida with a variety of sizes compared to Fort Myers. Cape Coral canals are 80, 120, 200 or 250 feet wide canals. Fort Myers Canals are mostly 40 feet or 100 feet.

There are a few canals in North Fort Myers that around 120 feet wide but are a lot longer boating distance to the Gulf. Remember a wider canal will give you a much easier approach to the dock your boat and a greater distance to your neighbor living behind you. Buying a home on the very end of the canal increases your chances of getting stagnant water now and then as the tide and the winds change directions..
