So what is the down side you ask?
There are several watch outs and if not handled correctly, they could be
devastating to the seller. The first and probably most important is the West
Sacramento seller delivering clear title. If you have a second mortgage you
will be responsible for the payment required to secure the release of lien. In
a traditional West Sacramento Short Sale the first lienholder
would be responsible for that payment. Now, Bank of America will allow you to use your
incentive money to clear the lien but if that is the case, what good is getting
the money if you have to pay it all to the second – the incentive money from Bank of America is taxable. The rest of the story
is the second may not allow you to receive payment at close which would bring
up another set of issues.
The second watch out is allowing Bank of America to set the sales price. If they
set the price to high and the property does not sell you are obligated to do a
Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure. Also called a friendly foreclosure – it is still a
foreclosure and will show up as such on your credit report.
Under certain circumstances this has
the makings of a good program if AND ONLY if it is handled correctly. Make sure

Default Advocate and fully understands the pros and cons of the program. For a
