Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

oK but do properties that where purchased as a short sales have a time frame that needs to be waited before it can be resold to another person? actually is there a waiting period for any property to be resold? legally can i purchase a house 1 or 2 days later if it was purchased by seller as a short sale a few days before.

thank you

Bank of American has a 30 day waiting period to resale after a short sale; otherwise, a property can be flipped immediately.

If you were the seller/original mortgagor, the transaction can be construed as mortgage fraud. Although I have not heard of any charges being brought or lawsuits being filed, there is a 5 year statute of limitations for mortgage fraud.
