Buying a Short Sale

The short-sale concept has received a lot of notoriety, and late-night gurus promote semi- nars touting that they can teach  you every- thing you need to know about short sales. Even Donald Trump has gotten into the game. Trump made the headlines when he proposed a short sale to help retired TV host Ed McMahon and his wife from losing their home in Beverly Hills. The McMahons  were  apparently  $643,597 behind in payments on their $4.8 million loan. The Donald offered to buy the house,  with Countrywide Home Loans taking a discounted payoff, and allow the McMahons to continue to live in the property as renters. Ultimately, the parties reached another solution, but this was a well-known example of how the short sale process works.
