Question: What happens if you decide to purchase a foreclosure and then once done do a short sale on your 1st home? Can you the bank come after your 2nd home?

Answer: -No.  The only time they can come after your other properties is if you used them as collateral to get the loan for the other homes.  Typically this happens more often in commercial transactions.  Most banks won’t lend you the money if the property itself isn’t sufficient collateral for the loan.  Your biggest concern would be a deficiency judgment.

I really like the step-by-step format and actual examples of letters, flyers, business cards, conversations, etc. that will be involved in a deal. Also, I like how you've given several ideas to accomplish the same goal. This makes it easier to enter this business picking the routes I'm most comfortable with.
