Joe Beauchamp commented on Joseph C. Alfe's group Short Sale Q and A"Andrew, unless you have an unusual contract that states such, no to the lender. You have a contract between the buyer and the seller - all legal obligations apply.

Getting the Buyer and Seller on the Same Page

Short Sale Road Rules: Getting Buyer and Seller on Same Page
One of the most neglected, and yet, most important part of a successful short sale is getting both buyer and seller on the same page.

Tish Thompson said… - Hey Joseph! Thanks for the info you shared in the DIL discussion. We're just starting to see them crop up in Northern VA. I figured the benefits were not necessarily in the sellers favor, but since none of my clients have ever been granted a DIL, I wasn't certain. Now that my understanding has been clarified, I know what to say to people who are contemplating DILs over short sales.
