What is the role of a real estate investor in a short sale process?

In order for a real estate investor to short sale a property, the homeowner must be upside down on his or her mortgage. When there is no equity in the home, the homeowner cannot sell the home on the market for enough money to pay off the mortgage loan.

So what would the homeowner do?

What the homeowner would do depends on how much money the homeowner has.

The homeowner has alot of money.

The homeowner is in distress and cannot afford mortgage payments.

If the homeowner has a lot of money (first picture), then he or she can afford to sell the home at market value which is less than what he or she owes the bank and then make up the difference with his or her own money.

However, if the homeowner is in distress and has no money to payoff his or her mortgage loan, the homeowner cannot come up with the difference between what he or she can sell the home for and what he or she owes. That mean selling the house at market value will not be enough for the homeowner.
