Real estate investors looking for steady, relatively safe returns, and who are also interested in helping financially-squeezed homeowners remain in their properties, should check out the “seamless short sale” concept. Rather than homeowners being forced to leave their houses after a short sale to an investor, they instead rent back the property on a triple-net basis for less than they were paying per month to the bank.

Making for an excellent low-risk investment, the key to the whole transaction is to move the short sale process forward much quicker than usual, which is where Troy Huerta comes in. He’s negotiated hundreds of short sales with banks and second lien holders in recent years, and knows how to make it happen.
