A Common San Diego Short Sale Myth: Banks Can't Write Off Too Much Loss At Once


Eastlake CA – We at the Stop Foreclosure Institute receive emails all the time that go something like this "The Bank’s Short Sale Problems are not that simple.

A bank can't afford to write off too much loss at once. Also, their investors may not approve the short sale, because they can't afford to write off too much loss at once either. And the circle goes on. Thank you, Amy

Here is why this flawed assumption is incorrect. Most of the large, national banks do not own the mortgages they handle.

As an example, Bank of America does not own 80% of the mortgages they service. The biggest holders are the GSEs: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae.

These entities are accustomed to losses. The other entity that's set up well and accustomed to losses is FHA.

Most of the remaining loans are owned by Wall Street Firms, Pension Funds, and other professional investors. Most of the loans owned by them have already been written down in value dramatically.

In a few, isolated instances, the "We don't want to write off losses to fast because it will hurt this quarter's earnings" thing applies. First, off any bank CEO that plays this game should be fired.

It’s illegal because of accounting rules. Not writing off losses that you know about could be considered insider trading by many.

Besides, when you push the loss on non-performing loans to the future, the losses are bigger in most cases. Any prudent person would agree that making losses bigger by pushing them to the future is bad business.

The bigger problem is that the lenders don't have enough staff to process the files. They need short sale negotiators to submit files to the owners of the loans.

As an example, on a recent FHA short sale, the negotiator told us it would take her 2-3 weeks to review the offer and then submit it to FHA.

However, she did tell me that FHA only has a 72 hour turnaround from when she submits the file to them. That is pathetic.

Here is why the lender doesn't have any incentive to hire on more staff. On that file, the lender isn't losing the money, FHA is losing it.

Therefore why should the lender spend money to hire on more staff? There is no incentive to do so.

Eastlake Loan Mod Help: How Can We Get The Banks To Make The Loan Mod Process Easier?

Eastlake CA – The average American knows very little about what is happening with loan modifications. They think the banks are doing a great job helping people stay in their homes.

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

Little does the average American know that the banks are flubbing it. In my opinion, the biggest mistake that banks are making is rejecting profitable loan modifications.

They would net more money on a loan modification than foreclosure. However, because the loan modification process is so tough they are foreclosing instead.

Most Americans would agree that it is important to help homeowners stay in the home. They agree even more when they learn how it would help the bank’s bottom line and the general economy.

Keep this in mind if your lender rejects you loan modification and forecloses on your home. Most Americans would disagree with that when it causes a homeowner to lose their home and the bank to lose more money.

The banks can claim that they “followed all the guidelines.” They think that is their “get out of jail free” card.

However, it is hard to explain that when they lose $60,000 as a result of “following all the guidelines.” Anyone would agree that guidelines can be stretched when $60,000 is on the line.

The average American will be more appalled when they realize the damage this is causing to general housing market and the economy.

So let’s educate the public on this. Let them know what is happening. Then the loan modification process will become easier and more people will be able to keep their homes.

Don’t Make This Mistake On Your San Diego Loan Modification



Eastlake CA – If you're trying to get a loan modification, then you have think like a banker. How you present your finances is the key to success.

You’ve got to show them an income that’s not too high and not too low. If you show them too low of an income, they’re going to go “Oh, this guy can’t afford his house payment.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

If we reduce his payment to $800, he won’t even be able to afford it anyway so what’s the point in reducing it? Before, he thought he could pay $1,200 a month. He can’t even pay the $800 a month that’s he’s asking for today. He's not making enough money, based on our ratios, to be able to afford it.”

Here's what happens if your income is too high. Let's say your payment is only $1,000 a month and you’re making $4,000, $5,000, or $6,000 a month. They will say “What’s up with this? This guy’s making a ton of money. Why are we going to reduce his payment?”

So you’ve got to make sure your income and your budget is in that middle range. Look at your recent income history.

Maybe you can pull the most recent month. If it shows the right numbers use it. Or, pull from a longer period. Use the last three months or the last six months worth of income. Maybe even use

You want to be able to demonstrate that you're making enough money to afford that payment, but not making so much money that they will charge you more.

San Diego Short Sales: My home is in foreclosure. How soon will the bank kick me out?



Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from another realtor named Sandy. Here is her question.

“An agent in my office currently has a listing under contract. It is a short sale, the sad thing is that Large National Bank (to remain unnamed) notified the sellers that they had foreclosed a month ago.

Fact is, they had not foreclosed. The employee didn’t know what they were talking about. Valuable time and a buyer were lost during this fiasco. This deal is currently awaiting approval. There is no telling what will happen in the end.

My question is this. What can we do to track the foreclosures and see when the bank is foreclosing. Sandy."

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to Sandy’s Question. The best way that I have seen to track this is by checking the docket.

The docket is the record at the courthouse of everything that is happening on a foreclosure. In some states the foreclosure is a court case and you can track the case.

The bottom line is that your local courthouse will have the best information. Call them and ask for them to explain it to you.

You will need the homeowner’s name and sometimes the court case number. They will explain where the foreclosure is at and how much longer it will be before it is completed. Thinking about a short sale?

San Diego Short Sales: There Is A Surprise Lien On The Short Sale

Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from James. Here is his question.

“Do you have any suggestions on a surprise lien from a Water Softener company? We were able to get Bank of America to approve the short sale without paying the lien. It could take another 60 days for Bank of America to agree to pay the lien.

The buyers don’t want to wait that long. Is there anything we can do? James.”

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to James’s Question.

Yes, you can get rid of it. But, it will take time.

Option #1: Many states have laws that allow a homeowner to remove liens if the property is their homestead.

For example, Florida has a law that enables the seller to file to release the lien thru homestead. I don't remember the exact legal name.

The seller files something and the lien automatically goes away in 45 days. The only reason it wouldn't go away is if the lien holder contests it.

An agent I know in Florida has used it against one of the best debt collection lawyers in the state. Ask your title company for help.

Option #2: Get BOA to agree to give them some money for it. Or, find a way to get it paid on the HUD. As you can see, both of these take time.

Option #3: Pay it out of pocket.

Option #4: You luck out and the lien doesn't attach. Check with your title company to see if this is the case. Oftentimes, they don't even legally attach. Thinking about a short sale?

Eastlake Short Sale Question: What Do I Owe You If The Short Sales Isn't Successful?

Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received this question from Tamra. Here is Tamra's Question.

"I would like to hire you to help me short sale my house. However, I am concerned that if the short sale doesn't go thru, then I will still owe you money. My friend told me to check on that before I started.

It is true that I would owe you money if the short sale didn't go thru? Tamra."

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to Tamra's question.

Tamra, No, you will not have to pay anything if the short sale doesn't go thru. We only get paid when the short sale is approved and the home sells.

Until then, there is no cost to you. In addition, all the short sales we have sold don't require the seller to pay anything.

What usually happens is that we send your lender a sample closing statement. It has all the costs itemized including our commission.

If your lender is ok with the numbers, then they approve the short sale. If not, then they tell us what needs to be changed.

It is a back and forth process until we come to an agreement. The bottom line is that a short sale will not cost you anything.

The only time you would be paying money is if your lender demands a promissory note, or you live in a state where they have the right to collect after a short sale or foreclosure.

However, even in those states in most cases we are able to negotiate a complete release on the debt. Thinking about a short sale?

San Diego Real Estate


MARKET RECAP

Are delinquency and foreclosure rates really falling? Based on this past week's data releases, it appears they are.

Hope Now, an alliance of mortgage servicers and home-retention counselors, reports that the number of loans classified 60 or more days delinquent fell to 2.78 million mortgages in February from 2.95 million in January. Freddie Mac reports that less than 4 percent of its single-family home loans are at least three payments behind or heading into foreclosure, which is less than half the year-ago rate.

Two more government agencies – the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision – offer more proof that delinquencies and foreclosures are on the mend. They report that the percentage of mortgages classified as seriously delinquent fell in all four quarters of 2010, while seriously delinquent mortgages at the end of the year dropped to a level unseen since the second quarter of 2009.

The detractors remain unconvinced: they counter that last year's moratorium on foreclosures has skewed the numbers, and that delinquencies and foreclosures are set to rise. Even the OCC and OTS say that they expect foreclosure activity to increase in 2011 as moratoriums thaw.

That could very well be the case, but we think there is more at work here than just a thawing of moratoriums. Payroll employment and economic growth have posted strong gains over the past few months. That means more people are able and willing to service their obligations, including mortgage obligations.

Pricing could be the wild card in the delinquency-foreclosure trend. Admittedly, the news on national home prices has been weak over the past couple months. However, real estate is local. Home prices in West Virginia are up over 5 percent year-over-year, and they're up over 4 percent in New York and North Dakota . The usual suspects – Arizona , Florida , Michigan – have posted double-digit declines. That said, Arizona and Florida were two of the most overbuilt states; Michigan is one of the most economically depressed. They're not representative of most real estate markets.

Therefore, we will stick by our guns: stable and improving prices will prevail. We are encouraged by the sharp decline in the rental vacancy rate, to 6.2 percent in the first quarter of 2011, which suggests to us that excess supply is being absorbed. In fact, the vacancy rate is back to early 2008 levels, and is not far above the rate in 2006 (around 5.7 percent). As the vacancy rate falls, rents will rise and this will help support home prices.

San Diego Short Sales: The Lender Won't Approve The Short Sale. Now What?


Eastlake CA – If you are doing short sales, then you must learn how to escalate a file. Here's why.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

What do you do when the house isn't selling for any more money, but the bank keeps on rejecting the offers? You can give up, but then the seller loses the house to foreclosure.

Ouch! Why not escalate the file and get it approved? Here's an example of how it worked for the Stop Foreclosure Institute.

We had a house on the market for 4 months. We started the price at 200k and slowly brought it down to $169,900. We finally got an offer for $159,000.

The lender thought the house was worth $195,000. We knew that they wouldn't accept the offer because it was less than their value.

We knew this investor's guidelines and that the current offer at $159,000 didn't have a shot at getting accepted.

In order to get this file approved, we had two things to do.

1. Convince the lender to get a new, more accurate valuation.

2. Escalate the file.

To handle Part 1, we sent the short sale negotiator our own Comparable Market Analysis. We included the Pending homes for sale and the Competing homes for sale.

We explained that their valuation was inaccurate and that they need to order another one. (If your data is good, then most of the time they will order a new valuation.)

Then, we asked for their supervisor's contact info. (Remember, most short sale communications are thru e-mail.)

Two-thirds of the time they will e-mail back the supervisor's info. The other one-third of the time they will just start doing a better job on the file. Either way we have accomplished our goal.

In this case they started doing a much better job on the file. The negotiator ordered a new valuation.

If the new valuation comes back within range, then they will approve the file and we can close. On the subject house, the new valuation came back with the proper value.

We received a short sale approval and closed the sale a month later.

Now, there are a few problems you may run into trying to escalate a file. Sometimes the negotiator won't give you their supervisor's.

And they still won't order a new valuation or help you out. So, you're at a dead end. Here is how to get their supervisor's info.

Call the normal short sale 800 number at the lender. Tell the person answering that you are working on a file with X negotiator and you need to talk to that person's supervisor.

Say something like, "We've talked to the buyers. They will not raise their offer. We've had this house listed for 94 days and this is the best offer we've received. The buyers asked me to call and plead their case."

Most of the time, they will give you that person's name and e-mail address. Always ask for the fax and phone number as well. Most of the time you won't get that, but sometimes you can.

Before I escalated a file, we were was scared to do it. What if the negotiator got mad at us? This held us back.

The reality is that the negotiators don't get mad at all. If you're at a logjam with a file, and you have a good case on why they should accept the offer, then do the logical thing and escalate the file. Thinking about a short sale?

San Diego Short Sales: Yes, you can get a $3,000 check for short selling your home

Eastlake CA – If you are looking to short sale your home, then I have some good news for you. Thanks to a new government program, HAFA, you can get paid to participate in a short sale.
Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

If your loan qualifies for the HAFA program, then you may be eligible for a number of financial incentives. You can get up to $3,000 to help with moving costs.

Even better is the stipulation that you will be completely released from the first mortgage debt. No deficiency and no promissory note. Now you don’t have to worry about paying all that money back.

Here are a few other advantages HAFA has over a normal short sale.

1. The lender must process the short sale within 30 days.

2. Lenders are no longer required to check your financial information and confirm that your debt to income ratio is higher than 31%.

3. The short sale can often be pre-approved when it is put on the market. This is good news because it makes your home more attractive to home buyers.

As an incentive to help lenders process HAFA short sales, your lender can get a check for up to $1,500 for helping you. Contact me to see if you qualify for a HAFA short sale.

I can help you short sale your property and never pay the bank another penny. Send me an e-mail at henry@houseinsandiego.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 619-517-6791

How To Preserve Your Credit During A Chula Vista Short Sale
Eastlake CA – If the right decision for you and your family is to sell the house as a short sale, then the sale will have an immediate effect on your credit score.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

You might feel like it’s just overwhelming and demoralizing to see your credit score take any more hits!

But, here’s the silver lining: according to most experts, 78% of Americans have ERRORS on their credit score. Why is that a silver lining?

If you have negative errors on your report that get fixed, that will be a benefit to your score.

Average people can, on their own, take steps to repair and restore their credit report/ credit score after a short sale.

Here is how to avoid any double whammies during and after your short sale.

Follow these simple steps.

1. Review your credit report. I recommend the site: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp.

Do not go to any of those “free credit report” sites. After you get the report, review everything on it.

If you see anything that is negative, inaccurate, or questionable make a note of it. On your list, write down why you disagree with that item on your report.

2. Write letters to the different credit bureaus about what you are disputing on your report. There are several sample letters available online: http://www.creditinfocenter.com/forms.

Here is a simple tip: DO NOT use the online dispute forms that are on the websites of the 3 credit reporting agencies. Write your own letter and make it short, firm, and demanding of action.

3. Mail your letters to the credit bureaus through either registered or certified mail. This is what sets the clock for them to correct issues.

The law lays out a timeline that they have to follow (45 days.) And, this gives you a record of the mailing, too.

4. Keep a file of all that you have done, including dates. Then, track your results, also.

5. When you’ve gotten back responses (or if 45 days pass and you haven’t gotten responses), then it’s time to repeat some of the process again for some item or another on your report.

If you are diligent and proactive, you might just surprise yourself by the benefits you can see in on your credit report – even after your short sale! Thinking about a short sale?

Seven Ways You Benefit From A Short Sale
Eastlake CA – A home owner thinking of a short sale recently asked us why they should short sale versus just walking away and letting their lender foreclose on the home. We gave them the normal answer: “It’s much better for your credit.”

That was the first thing that popped into our head. But, I knew there are more benefits to a home owner than simply better credit. So I put together the entire list and here they are.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

1. The upside down debt is erased in most cases. If you are selling because of a financial hardship, then the upside down debt will be automatically erased in most cases. Is your loan is owned or insured by the following agencies: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and or VA? If you are short selling because of a financial hardship, their policies state that your debt will be erased.

2. You are eligible to buy another home much sooner compared to a foreclosure. The most common loan program, Fannie Mae, stipulates that you can buy another home under their program in 2 years. FHA, a popular low down payment loan program stipulates that you can qualify for an FHA loan within 3 years.

3. No Cost To You. That is right. A short sale costs you nothing. All of the expenses are paid for by your lender. That includes the title insurance, any county taxes or fees on the sale, attorney fees, and the Real Estate Agent. If the lender foreclosed on the house and then tried to sell it, they would have to pay all the costs. So why not pay the costs with a short sale?

4. Your credit suffers less damage. Most people think that a short sale will be the kiss of death to their credit. That is the one big advantage of a short sale over a foreclosure.

Upon completion of the short sale, your credit score will drop between 50 and 100 points. However it will rebound fairly quickly. The other benefit is that you will have less debt. (A lot of debt hurts your credit score.) You will have a lower debt to income ratio, which will boost your credit.

In a couple of years your credit will be back to normal and you can buy another home. In addition, anything and everything bad on your credit can be fixed thru the dispute process.

5. You can often rent a comparable house for less than your former mortgage payment. In one example, a homeowner in foreclosure found a larger home. It even had a fenced backyard for their kid and a garage. Their prior mortgage payment was $1,500. They rented the nicer, bigger house for $850 a month.

6. You avoid the humiliation of a foreclosure.

7. You don’t have to pay rent during the short sale process. A short sale can take up to 6 or 9 months. Not all of them do. But, some do. If you aren’t concerned about your credit, then you can stop making your mortgage payments during the short sale. You can use the savings for the deposit on a rental.
