If you’re interested in buying property, you should know all you can about a short sale, which is a very valuable transaction in real estate.
In this article, we’re going to tell you what you need to know about a short sale in real estate.
What Is A Short Sale?
A short sale is one in which a motivated seller, typically someone in financial trouble, sells their home for less than what it’s worth.
Because of the complexities involved, a short sale will typically involve a lender who approves the transaction. Another difference from a traditional real estate transaction is that in a short sale, the seller doesn’t pay for closing costs. Those fees are split between the lender and buyer.
As you can imagine, a short sale is a good deal for the buyer, but can be a terrible thing for the seller, at least in one sense.
Is A Short Sale Good Or Bad?
A short sale is good for the buyer because they get to buy a home for far cheaper than it normally would be listed for.
On the other hand, for the seller, a short sale may get them out of a mortgage, but their credit will take a major hit in the process.
The seller will typically look to do a short sale of a home as a way to avoid a foreclosure, which would hurt their credit even more.Is It A Good Idea To Buy A Short Sale House?
You may be weighing whether buying a short sale house is a good idea. While the price will likely be reduced, you should know that there may be some issues with the home that require quite a lot of time or money.For that reason, short sales are usually purchased by seasoned real estate investors, who have the time and money to invest. Let’s talk about what’s required.The Time
The time you be spent not only repairing the home and getting it into shape for someone to live there, but securing the necessary paperwork and permits from the appropriate government agencies.The Money
You can bet that it’s going to also cost you a pretty penny to turn the home into something that attracts a buyer. Let’s just not hope that there’s no foundation or roof problems, which will be quite expensive.Where Can I Find Short Sales In Georgia?
You can get a list of short sales in your area by reaching out to your local Realtor, who would be familiar with the process as well.
You can also find short sales on the following real estate websites:
- Berkshire Hathaway Georgia
- ColdwellBankerHomes.com
- ForeclosureListings.com
- Foreclosure.com
- ShortSaleAtlanta.com
- UrbanNest
Final Word
Real estate prices are on the rise around the state, but you can find a good deal if you’re patient.
Contrary to its name, a short sale may take several months before it is finally approved. You can use that time to secure a contractor to do some of the jobs that need to be completed once the home becomes yours.
You may need a plumber, electrician and carpenter for starters.

The popular TV show Atlanta looks like it’s still on to return to FX in early 2022. But casting directors need some finishing scenes shot in Atlanta.

That’s when we can expect to see Season 3 episodes, according to comments from FX executive John Landgraf.
He said in a recent interview that the comedy-drama’s third season just wrapped filming. That means Season 4 has begun shooting in earnest.
Landgraf, speaking during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, said, “We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting. It was shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta. All of the scripts for that season have been written.”
Atlanta was a top-rated show featuring Donald Glover and Lakeith Stanfield. But filming never resumed after Glover lost his father.
The series production team along with actors all are set to travel to Europe, where both Seasons 3 and 4 will reportedly be shot. Filming is expected to begin on April 5.
When Will Atlanta FX Return? Read This
So when will Atlanta return? Glover took to social media in April 2021 to say:
“Atlanta Season 3 comes out probably the beginning of next year.”
Glover made the comments in a random musing released on audio.
Donald Glover saying that season 3 will be released in the beginning of the next year pic.twitter.com/mr3Grm4Dw6
— Maurício (@MauricioRodrix) April 30, 2021
The popular show began production in March 2021. Glover signed an eight-figure deal with Amazon that includes his own content channel on Prime.
Both of the next two seasons are being filmed one after the next, which is something that they had planned to do even before the pandemic began.
In early 2020, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.
Landgraf said that the next two seasons will debut in 2021. But not only, that he indicated that Seasons 3 and 4 will be linked as a “Part 1 & 2” arrangement.
What we also know is that Season 3 will be 10 episodes and Season 4 will be eight episodes. If it’s going to be all part of one story arch, it makes sense that the seasons will be all shot in sequence.
According to Esquire magazine, the show’s new seasons hint that they will focus on the music career of Paper Boi, played by the magnificent Brian Tyree Henry.
Landgraf also tipped his hand to let us know that a large part of Seasons 3, 4 or both will be shot in a foreign country.
