What is an Approval to Participate? 

It is a document that HUD generates on FHA loans that are seeking short sale approval.  The best way to go about it is to hire a Realtor that has the experience and knowledge of the process AND is succesful in closing short sales. 

First you must  contact your mortgage servicer and ask them for an application or the Request for Pre-Foreclosure Sale and Affidavit for FHA.  They will also send along several other documents and a list of the financial information that they will need.  These will be reviewed and in 14-30 days you’ll get an answer back as to whether you are approved to participate.

The Approval to Participate will state the price the home is to be listed at, the NET dollar amount acceptable, how the property is to be maintained, and the borrower’s incentive compensation.

You are not alone!
