The Final Numbers On How A Eastlake Short Sale Reduces Losses
Eastlake CA – On our last blog post, we ran some numbers on why a short sale reduces a lender's losses by 20% compared to a foreclosure.

Today I am going to add all the numbers together. That way we can see exactly how much this lender lost by not accepting the short sale.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

I am using the real life example of a short sale that was listed for sale for $425,000. The lender turned down an offers for $385,000 and ended up selling the home for $230,000.

Let's add up the costs.

$155,000 in sales price loss. ($385,000 minus $230,000.)

$30,318.75 in lost interest income. ($385,000 lent at 4.5% interest over 21 months.)

$11,411.89 in property taxes that would have been paid by the short sale buyer, but instead were paid by the lender. ($6,521.08 annual property taxes over 21 months.)

$3,000 in estimated foreclosure costs. (This is to pay the foreclosure attorney and the court costs.)

$4,200 in Homeowner's Insurance. ($200 monthly times 21 months.)

$203,930.60 in total lost because they didn't accept the short sale offer. Ouch! I don't care how rich you are (or how many bailouts you received), that is a lot of money.

Yes, these numbers are correct. Real estate is an expensive business. It costs a lot of money to own and maintain a house.

Just look at how much you spend on your mortgage, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, maintaining your house, and mowing your yard. Now multiply that by 21 months. Make sense?

Why A Eastlake Short Sale Saves Your Lender Money

Eastlake CA – We throw around the statistic that a short sale reduces a lender's losses by 20% compared to a foreclosure.

However, I am sure that there are many people who find that hard to believe. So today I am going to give you a breakdown of exactly why it happens.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

I will use an real life example. A short sale was listed for sale for $425,000. After a few months, the sellers received an offer for $385,000.

They submitted the short sale package to the lender. The lender didn't accept the short sale. The home did not sell as a short sale.

The lender started foreclosure proceedings and foreclosed on the home 19 months later. They put it on the market as a bank owned property.

It sold for $230,000. This is a real life example. We have lots of other similar examples. Short sale offers are turned down only to have the home sell for much less after foreclosure.

Let's go thru the reasons this lender lost so much money.

First off, the real estate market was declining heavily at the time. Home values are still declining even today. So they lost $155,000 in home value decline. Probably half of that loss was because of the declining market.

The other half was because bank owned homes sell for less than owner occupied homes. Why? Because nothing is maintained. The yard isn't mowed, the house isn't kept clean, and no pride of ownership shows.

Besides, the sales process for bank owned homes also hurts what they sell for. Last of all, buyers know the home is bank owned and make lowball offers because of it.

They also lost interest income. The home would have sold for $385,000 twenty-one months earlier (17 months foreclosure time plus 2 months to put the home on the market and 2 months to sell.)

$385,000 lent at 4.5% interest earns $17,325 annually. Over 21 months that comes out to $30,318.75. Another big loss.

Plus they had to pay property taxes the entire time the home was on the market. Annual property taxes are $6,521.08. Over 21 months that comes out to $11,411.89.

As you can see, the costs just keep on adding up. I'm sure I am missing other costs. Do you see how a short sale benefits a lender?

Eastlake Short Sale: How To Find The Short Sale Negotiators E-mail Address


Eastlake CA – Many agents get frustrated because they know who the short sale negotiator is, but they don’t have any way to communicate with them.

Most short sale negotiators communicate by email. But, they usually wait until they are well into the transaction before they give you their e-mail.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

We try james.rush, jim.rush, jim.a.rush, james.a.rush, and run thru all the middle initials in the alphabet. The bad e-mails get get a notification that they couldn’t get thru. We know which e-mail is the correct one because it doesn’t come back.

This even works for finding the CEO’s e-mail. We sent an e-mail to ken.lewis @ bankofamerica.com and received a response soon thereafter.

No, I don’t think that e-mail ever reached Ken Lewis. But, someone is checking it and they responded.

I think the closest a Stop Foreclosure Institute Member has ever gotten to talking to a CEO is when one found the direct line to Sterling Edmunds, the CEO of Suntrust.

Reaching a CEO is exciting, but it isn’t the goal. Our goal is to get a competent person to review the short sale. They will approve it when we show how it makes financial sense to do so.

How Long Does It Take For My Credit To Go Back To Normal After A Eastlake Short Sale?

Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Sammy. Here was his question.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

"I like your blog post about how to get out of paying a deficiency. However, how long will it be on your credit report before your life goes back to normal? I would like to resolve the deficiency but the attorney/collector doesn't seem willing to budge from the full amount.

I've even had an attorney friend of mine contact them and try to negotiate something and they still wouldn't budge. Sammy.”

Here is the answer to his question. If you are dealing with a lawyer that is directly representing the lender, then you will have a tough time. They have to negotiate hard to justify being paid $150 an hour.

Be happy you have a short sale on your credit. That usually affects you for 2-3 years. A foreclosure will usually affect your credit for 5-7 years.

If your goal is to improve your credit, then you can often get the negative reports removed by disputing them. We have put together entire blog posts about how to fix your credit.

Scroll down this blog to read them. You have a good chance of disputing off any negative items on your credit report.

Eastlake Short Sales: Why do some buyer’s offers get accepted while others are declined?


Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Jonathan. Here was his question.

"I am looking to buy a short sale. The seller wouldn’t accept my offer. My agent told me it was because the short sale lender has told them they wouldn’t accept the offer.


I am a cash buyer and can’t understand why they wouldn’t take my offer. Why do some buyer’s offers get accepted while others are declined? Jonathan.”


Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.
Here is the answer to his question. Usually the offer that is accepted is the one that is offering the highest sales price.


Sure banks and short sale lenders like cash offers. But, that is only everything else is the same. They won’t accept a cash offer when it is lower than other offers on the table.
Here is an example. A normal homeowner is selling their house. It is worth $400,000 and he is asking $400,000 for the home.
A buyer offers $350,000 cash. “You should accept my offer because it is cash”, the buyer says. Meanwhile another buyer offers $400,000 and they have already been approved for a loan.
If you were that seller, what would you do? Would you take a little risk to make an extra $50,000? Most people would. In fact, there isn’t much risk because the buyer has already been approved for a loan.
Yes, cash does matter. But, these banks want to reduce their losses as much as possible. They are already losing tens and hundreds of thousands on a short sale

They own these homes cash. They don’t have to get their money out right away. They like cash offers, but they like to reduce their losses even more.

A Common Eastlake Short Sale Case Mistake: Hiring An Agent With Little Short Sale Experience


Eastlake CA – A few years ago most agents didn’t understand short sales. They didn’t want to get involved on them because of the extra work required.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Short sales take two to three times as much work. The extra effort can be draining at times. Some agents openly admit that they hate short sales.

Is that the type of person you want working for you? Others believe it is wrong for a seller to walk away without a deficiency judgment. “I have heard some agents say that people should be able to walk away from their “obligations.”

Do you think that type of agent is going to push hard for the bank to waive a deficiency?

(By the way, that is one of our missions at the Stop Foreclosure Institute. We want every seller we help to walk away with no deficiency. We have seen firsthand the stress the banks put on people in foreclosure.)

If your agent has no experience with short sales, then they may give up halfway into the process. So make sure you hire an experienced short sale agent that has successfully closed short sales.

Eastlake Short Sale Myth: The bank wants a deficiency on the short sale so I can get out of it by letting them foreclose
Eastlake CA – Most people short selling their home do not want to repay the deficiency. And in most cases, the lender allows them to walk away with no deficiency.

But, that is not always the case. Some banks are very pushy when it comes to the deficiency. They won’t approve the short sale unless the borrower accepts a deficiency.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Some home sellers have told the Stop Foreclosure Institute that if the lender won’t approve the short sale without a deficiency, then they will simply allow them to foreclose on the property.

This seems like a good strategy on the surface. But, it could end up costing a homeowner even more money in the long run.

That is because the homeowner loses control over the condition of the home when it is on the market. They aren’t able to maintain the home and keep it up.

Most homes that have been foreclosed on are abandoned by the lenders. Sure, they “winterize” the homes. But, they don’t do anything to keep the homes in tip top showing condition.

This causes most bank owned homes to sell for less money. Here is something else that will cause you home to sell for less money. The buyers aren’t willing to pay as much.

Buyers know when a home for sale is bank owned. What do you think pops into them mind when they see that? “I can buy it for a steal”, they think to themselves.

This causes bank owned homes to sell for less. And if it sells for less money, then the bank will come looking for a larger deficiency payment.

This is why a short sale is usually better for you versus letting the bank foreclose and then sell the house.

Eastlake Short Sales: What Do Lenders Consider A Legitimate Hardship For A Short Sale?

Eastlake CA –We had a question about FHA short sales yesterday. We did some research on FHA short sales as a result. We stumbled upon something interesting.

We have a list of all of the things that FHA considers legitimate hardships for a short sale. Click here to view the actual list from FHA. The good news is that if FHA considers something a hardship, then it is likely that most lenders agree.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Here is the list of things that FHA thinks are a legitimate hardship for a short sale.

* Death of Principal Mortgagor.

* Illness of Principal Mortgagor.

* Illness of Mortgagor's Family Member. Extraordinary medical expenses are part of the equation.

* Death of Mortgagor's Family Member. Extraordinary expenses are part of the rational.

* Marital Difficulties.

* Reduction in income.

* Excessive Obligations. No loss of income. To quote FHA, "The delinquency is attributable to the mortgagors(s) having incurred excessive debts(either in a single instance or as a matter of habit) that prevent him or her from making payments on both those debts and the mortgage debt."

Job Transfer.

* A Problem with the property such as poor quality construction, expensive repairs being needed, etc.

* Inability to Rent Property.

* Military Service where the person can't afford their house because their paycheck won't enable them to cover the payment.

* Unemployment / Job Loss.

* Business failure.

* High Energy Costs. Your income and everything else stays the same, but your utility bill shoots thru the roof. To quote FHA, "All other factors remained the same, but sharp increase in utility cost(s) deferred funds that would have been available for the mortgage payment or costs associated with the removal of environmental hazards in, or near the property."

* Payment Adjustment. To quote FHA, "Delinquency began after either increase in P&I for ARM mortgage or after escrow analysis where one or more escrow item increased, including the spreading of the amount needed to repay an escrow shortage over the next year."

* Incarceration.

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

Eastlake Short Sale Myth: I Have To Go Thru The Loan Mod Process Before I Can Short Sell

Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Tonia about short sales. Apparently Tonia has been mislead by her lender.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Here is Tonia's question about short sales. "I've been trying to sell my house for over a year now and have since remarried and moved into my husband's house.

I told the realtor I am willing to do a short sale so she called my mortgagor (short sale dept) and they said to just send in the bid. Well, they received a bid but will not accept it.

They said it is because I haven't gone through the loan modification process that FHA loans have to go through first before a short sale can be done. I don't want to modify my loan. I want to be dismissed from it.

I'm current on my payments because the same guy told me that I could be current and still do a short sale which it isn't sounding like now. Any advise would be great.

My house payment is due next week and if it is going to take me not making payments to get this short sale through I won't make them. Tonia."

Here was our response to Tonia. It sounds like you are being mislead. FHA issues guidelines to lender's that handle their loans. Their guidelines say nothing about a loan modification having to be done first.

You can look up the guidelines for FHA Short Sales. Just google: "Mortgagee Letter 2008-43. I have read thru this countless times and didn't remember a requirement for a loan modification first.

I just scanned thru it again and didn't see it this time. I do remember we go into this same argument with another short sale negotiator. They said we had to go thru the loan mod process before they could process the short sale.

We told them we had read thru the entire letter and knew it didn't have that requirement. They backed off and processed the short sale. You just have to be firm.

And if they aren't following FHA's rules, then call up FHA and let them know. FHA may fine them for breaking the rules.

Eastlake Short Sale Myth: If I Sell For More, Then I Won’t Have A Deficiency

Eastlake CA – Some sellers think that if they sell their house for more money, then they are less likely to have a deficiency. Let me explain why that is not true.

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

Another realtor recently told us about a short sale they were involved in. This realtor was representing the buyers purchasing the house.

The short sale negotiation company the sellers were using told the sellers that unless the house sold for $295,000, then the sellers would have a short sale deficiency.

Because of this, the sellers wouldn’t accept the buyer’s offer. I told them that couldn’t be true. Here is how short sale negotiations work.

A lender is losing money on a short sale. In most cases, they are losing a lot of money.

Losing just a little bit more money is not going to cause them to change their mind on whether or not they should pursue a deficiency.

A sales price that is $17,000 lower is trivial when compared to a $100,000 loss. Stop Foreclosure Institute Members have negotiated hundreds of short sales.

In most cases, the lender is either pursuing a deficiency or not pursuing one. A slightly higher sales price won’t change their mind either way.

They will either accept the short sale offer on the table, or counter at a price they will accept. They will pursue a deficiency even if the property sells for more money.
