Cape Coral Condos. Affordable Condos in Cape Coral?

While searching for homes for sale this week I spent some time looking for condos for my Canadian clients. They are looking for a great... no make that a heck of a deal but make sure to include all the bells and whistles please!

My clients want new or newer condos with all appliances included, low monthly maintenance fees and great amenities also with a large and spacious floor plan and if it is in a gated community even better. My clients want all of this for under 100,000! Well it just so happened I was scheduled to preview the new set up at Van Loon Commons condos in Cape Coral. Timing couldn't have been any better! Van Loon Commons condos are a gated community situated within the heart of Cape Coral but in a quiet neighborhood location.

Beautiful tropical landscape thru out the community gives you that living the Florida lifestyle feeling. With the resort style pool and the fountains and courtyards this is living at its best in Florida condos.

Van Loon commons offers condos with all the upgrades and appliances including full size washer and dryers. Floor plans with living areas of 1400 sq to 1646 sq ft. This is great sq footage for condos. These are 3 story condos with elevators in each building. I must say when I previewed them I did not get that boxy feel so common with some condos.

Add to all of this a low maintenance fee of 294.00 a month that covers central water and sewer, basic cable, hazard insurance also lawn care and grounds maintenance and much more.

Did I mention that Van Loons condos are a pet friendly community with a 50 lb limit?

With the condos priced within the community starting at 65,000 to a bit over 99,000 this community is a great choice when buying condos in Cape Coral!

When is it done? Homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments may try to arrange a short sale so they can avoid going through foreclosure. Banks will approve a short sale when it's in their best interest to do so. If they think they can recoup more money through a foreclosure, then they'll deny the homeowner's request for a short sale.

Who benefits? If all parties do their homework before entering a short sale agreement, then usually everyone involved can benefit. The homeowners for instance, avoid the stressful process of foreclosure. Banks also want to avoid foreclosure whenever possible because they're time consuming and risky. There's no guarantee that they'll get a reasonable amount of their money back, and they also don't want to be property managers. A short sale allows the bank to walk away fairly quickly.

Buyers benefit from a short sale also, because they can get a great deal on a property. Also, because the homeowners are actively trying to sell the house, they're likely to keep the property in good repair. The short sale makes up a large part of the Cape Coral Homes for Sale.

Where do you start? If you're thinking of trying to do a short sale, you should immediately speak with a REALTOR® with experience in this area. A short sale is more complicated than straight sales, so you want someone who really knows what they're doing. Next, you need to collect the following information to give to your lender:

• an exhaustive list of all your monthly expenses
• pay stubs and tax returns for the last two years
• a letter explaining your financial situation, and how you're unable to make the mortgage payments. Be honest; don't try to be modest. You must show the lender you have a valid reason for not being able to pay them and a short sale is in their interest. The bank considers things like job loss, death of a spouse, long-term medical issues, and divorce as legitimate examples of financial hardship.

Next, you need a buyer. You also need your agent to prepare a comparative market analysis to present to the bank. What you want is for the bank to know that a) you can't afford your payments, b) you have legitimate hardships, c) someone wants to buy the home, and d) the amount the buyer is offering is as much as the home can get in the current market. If the bank thinks it can sell the house for more money themselves, they'll proceed with foreclosure instead of a short sale.

What's the catch? Lenders are also notorious for taking months to respond to a short sale offer. This means that both you and the buyer need to be patient. Also, there's no guarantee that the lender will accept a short sale offer. They're within their rights to reject the offer outright.
