Yes I remember it, documenting it would be something else. Shortsale Superstars used to document stuff by lender.  Timeline seems right or before maybe.

I remember something like that... but couldn't give you chapter and verse as I avoided handling short sale listings like the plague.

No... I don't remember that, at all.... and that sure doesn't sound like the FHA during the short sale surge.

Things change.  That may not be the case today.  I did a lot of short sales as well.  My focus was not on commission or dual agency ... it was on helping the homeowner avoid foreclosure.  I hope you find what you are looking for.

While I did numerous short sales at the time when distressed properties were a significant part of our market, my memory of details re: FHA are not coming up. Sorry.

Micah, you may want to try to search on HUDCLIPS.  I added the link, but I didn't search any of it.  HUD may have issued a Notice or Bulletin.

Good luck.

Yes but, I never did both sides. I'm fairly certain it was an FHA announcement - maybe try searching their site for old news?

For a while I stopped taking HUD short sales as it was near impossible to get closed. Where as  could lost with nearly any other bank and get approvals in 45 day average. I am starting to do them again and the systems banks have are much better than 7 years ago
