My recent buying experience is just the opposite to most people believe. I guess I am lucky or what.
I just closed escrow with a short sale condo in a less desirable area. The price is under 100k. It’s an investment property and I got it financed.
Since we sent the offer, the seller’s lender tried to contact me. I didn’t answer the early phone calls because the phone number was unfamiliar to me. Until my agent told me about that lender, I picked up his phone call. Then everything worked out very well. We got the loan from that lender.
Maybe you can find out who the seller’s lender is and try if you can get a loan from them.
