Short Sale Update

Can you believe we are STILL trying to negotiate a deal with the loss mitigator?? We have been working on this for FOUR MONTHS! Now, we found out that the house has to have a NEW ROOF ($6500)!! OMG. What next? We are still trying to negotiate a lower price, to cover the cost of the roof replacement! You know what the lender is saying: AS-IS...You are buying the property AS-IS. We can't even get financing without a roof! Good luck to us. I'm not so confident that we can make it happen. I'll keep you posted...
