When a bank-owned / REO house sells for a profit, is this profit passed on to the previous owner?
Posted by Usual in Bank Owned REO, tags: BankOwned, House, owner, passed, previous, profit, sells, thisMy understanding is that profits made at auction are passed on to the initial homeowner/borrower. Does this apply if the house does not sell at auction, becomes officially bank property, and sells, say, years later? I hear a 1099 can be issued for the loss if there is a short-sale of a REO. So does a double standard exist here?
