I was against short sales as well and haven’t seen any stellar deals yet. I did find one house I liked however and made an offer. I figure I’ll put it on the back burner while I look at other places. If I don’t find anything else I like in the mean time, then maybe this one will work out.
I was initially scared away because of the check I had to submit with the offer, didn’t want my money being tied up while the banks sits on it. Turns out my check wont (shouldn’t) even be cashed until a deal is made.
