Participant[quote=sdduuuude]Have an unscrupulous friend put in a $250K offer on the short sale contingent upon this, that, and the other. Sell your place, then pull the offer.
Buying a short sale is a pain in the ass. If their realtor is telling buyuers “we have a $250K offer on it,” and you price yours at $230, maybe they’ll come running.
Not sure I’d have the guts to do this, and it’s pretty underhanded, but I can’t stop my brain from coming up with ideas like this.

I don’t see the big deal.
Such shenanigans have been going on for ages so that’s nothing new.
You don’t know if it’ll work unless you try.

ParticipantI don’t think we can offer a complete opinion without additional details as DWCAP suggested.
1. How much do these units rent for ?
2. How much do you owe ?
3. WHat is the interest rate on your loan ?
4. WHat are the HOA fees ?January 21, 2009 at 8:20 AM #332718ParticipantI don’t think we can offer a complete opinion without additional details as DWCAP suggested.

Rents for 2BR/2Ba apartments in Clairemont can be between 1100 to 1400.
If you owe less than 180K at 6% or less (or owe less than 200K can refinance these days at rates around 5%), then you can start making a case for renting it out if you can get 1300 – 1400 in rent. You will be reasonably cash flow neutral at that point, accounting for tax benefits and principal paydown. BUt will have out-of-pocket expenses if you use a management company and for any repairs.
But again, this in only a guess without the actual numbers.
If you can rent these out at 1300-1400 and purchase for under 200K, it might start making sense for self-managed investors as long as investor owned rates are in the 6% or less range.
