Question by Radman: What should I know about buying a “short sale” house?
I understand there is no warranty and the buyer has to pay all the closing costs. Can I offer lower than the short sale listing price?

You can always offer less than asking. in addition, if you are using a real estate agent, you need to make sure the commission costs are included in the purchase price.
Be prepared for a long process. Bank owned property sales move at a snail’s pace. Often, the bank cant find the deed, because the mortgage has been sold so many times, so it would be prudent to ask if the bank has possession of the deed early in the process.
