San Diego Short Sales: Bank won’t allow my seller to avoid short sale process


Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from another agent. Apparently they were being mislead on a short sale by a large national lender.

Here is the question we received: “Do you have a number to contact Fannie Mae? The bank (Large National Bank) will not allow the seller to not do a short sale and agree to repay the loss on a promissory note.

She said that she has to talk to the investor which is Fannie Mae. My sellers just wants to sell and move on with their life. Janet.”

Here was our response. I understand the logic of what your seller is trying to do. They think that they can just sell the home for less thant it’s worth, sign a promissory note for the difference, and move on with their lives.

The sad reality is that life’s not that simple, especially when you are dealing with bankers. Before they make any changes on anything, they want to make sure that everything is ok.

In order to make sure everything is ok, they will have to process the sale as a short sale. That is why they demand before they will transfer the upside down debt to a promissory note.

They always like to keep things at the status quo. Any big changes need to be very carefully evaluated. It’s just the way bankers work.

So, if your seller wants to sell and repay the debt on a promissory note, then they will have to go thru the formal short sale process. It’s the only option that I see.

Common San Diego Short Sale Myth: Short Sales Are Difficult And Banks Never Approve Them

Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently talked to a homeowner whose home had been sold on the courthouse steps.

We asked if she had considered selling the home as a short sale. “I did, but I heard that short sales are difficult and not worth trying. My friend told me that the banks never approve them”, she told us.

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

After we got off of the phone, we reviewed what she had lost. She lost the opportunity to protect her credit and to be able to buy a home 3 years after the short sale sold.

Now she will have greater credit damage and will have to wait 5-7 years to buy another home. Ouch! All of this could have been avoided if she had known the truth about short sales.

Yes, short sales are approved by banks. Bank CEOs and the people who invest in mortgages prefer them over a foreclosure. Why?

Because the average short sale reduces the lender’s loss by 20-40% compared to a foreclosure. They want to reduce their losses as much as possible.

The banks are just having a hard time handling the huge increase of short sales caused by the housing crisis. But, don’t kid yourself. They wouldn’t be approving any short sales unless there was a big benefit to them financially.

They have analyzed the market and see short sales as a viable way to reduce their losses as much as possible.

San Diego Short Sale: How To Send A Fax To Everyone In Congress

Eastlake CA – Bank of America is consistently the worst short sale lender we have dealt with. A lot of people sent me e-mails such as the following:

"You need to stop complaining. If you think having to re-open a file is bad, imagine working on a file for 8 months."

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

They have the resources available to make the changes. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and Citigroup all issued stock to pay off their bailout.

Paying off the bailout cost all of these banks their fourth quarter, 2009 profit. In addition, they diluted their stock by issuing more shares, which as any person knows drives the share price down.

We can get them to improve their process and response times on loan modifications and short sales. It will take a lot of pressure and lobbying. So, help us out here.

Here is the link to get all the fax numbers for congress. Frustrated about your loan mod? Aggravated with your short sale? Send everyone in congress a fax about it.

San Diego Short Sale: Sick Of Your Loan Mod Taking Forever? Why Not Contact Congress?


Eastlake CA – We recently send everyone in congress a fax about a certain large bank. They had done a lousy job on a short sale file. We waited 90 days for an answer on an offer.

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

The buyer got impatient and walked. Fortunately we had a backup buyer. Instead of using the BPO that Freddie Mac paid for and reviewing the new offer, the negotiator closed the file.

Freddie Mac, the owner of the loan, stands to lose $75 spent on the BPO and 90 days worth of interest. We estimate Freddie's loss over the delay to be around $1,249.

Rather than just sit here and take abuse, we decided to stand up for ourselves. We found the entire list of fax numbers for congress, typed up a fax, and sent it out.

If you loan mod is taking too long, then fax everyone in congress. Most many loans are federally insured or guaranteed. Examples are loans owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or insured by FHA, VA, and USDA.

Uncle Sam is the backstop for a huge percentage of American Home Loans. That leaves these banks and servicers open to huge liability.

If they mess up on a federally owned or insured mortgage, they are causing Uncle Sam to lose money. Send a fax and contact your congressperson and/or senators and let them know what is happening.

San Diego Short Sale: My Lender Is Charging The Buyer A Fee To Buy My House
Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Brandon. Brandon is selling his house and something very interesting happened.

Brandon’s Question: "My loan is with American Home Mortgage (AHMSI for short.) They are charging a 1% short sale processing fee to the buyer. Is that legal? The buyer is upset. They have stipulated that ONLY the buyer can pay the fee. This was never revealed until the short sale approval letter arrived. Brandon."

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

Our comments on this. Yes, the buyer is upset. Buyers think they are in control in today's market. They can't see why they should pay a fee if they are buying a house in a "Buyer's Market."

Is it legal? We did a short sale with AHMSI and they said their lawyers had checked it out and confirmed that it is legal. So, it probably is.

We checked with Brandon and found out a little more information. Turns out the loan is owned by Deutsche Bank. We convinced AHMSI to waive the fee on that short sale.

We threatened to contact Deutsche Bank and let them know what was happening. Sure, it's wrong. But, do you know why AHMSI can get away with it?

It's because the people who own the mortgages don't know about the fee. When you threaten to contact the loan owner, then that changes everything.

Eastlake Short Sale: I’m having a hard time negotiating with a HELOC




Eastlake CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question about short sales. Here is the question.

“What is your experience with Chase Heloc's? I have a HELOC that is a 2nd mortgage. Citi (the 1st) will give them 6% or approximately $3000. Chase's collection agency is saying that they want 30% ($30,000.)

They won't budge. They want this in CASH, not as a promissory note (in case the seller does a bankruptcy.) They are telling me they will just let the house foreclose because that is Chase's policy now. What do you recommend that I do?”

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

Here was our answer to the question. Most third party collection agencies are very tough to negotiate with. They are completely unreasonable.

They are so trained to give ultimatums that they will not budge, no matter how much logic and common sense you bring to them. Here is what you can do.

Go around them. Contact Chase’s CEO. We have been able to contact the CEO of Chase, Jamie Dimon’s Office on other Chase files. Show them that they will receive less in a foreclosure than the $3,000 available now.

Hopefully they will tell the collection agency to approve the $3,000 deal. If that doesn’t work, then ask to speak with a supervisor at the debt collection agency.

Show the how they will actually net zero when the property is foreclosed upon. Tell them that they have to either approve the $3,000 or take zero.

Tell them that rejecting the $3,000 means their client will net zero. Then, tell them that after the property is foreclosed upon, that you will contact their client and let them know how the collection agency’s actions caused them to lose $3,000.

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

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

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.

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.

Eastlake Short Sales: The Most Effective Way To Stop Debt Collector Harassment



Eastlake CA – Debt collectors are infamous for multiple phone calls at all hours of the day. One person told the Stop Foreclosure Institute that he would receive several phone calls the first thing Sunday Morning.

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

"They would call my home phone at 8:15AM on Sunday. This was the only day that I had to sleep in and they woke me up. I had 2 other people call me before noon", he told us.

This is the biggest complaint the Stop Foreclosure Institute has heard about debt collectors. People have told us, "No matter how many times I tell them to stop calling, they still call me."

Let me give you the inside story. The reason this happens is because most people don't do anything about it. They just learn to live with the harassing calls and go on with their lives.

Here is what the debt collectors don't want you to know. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a creditor or collection agency that calls you after you request them to stop may be liable for statutory damages up to $1,000 plus any actual damages suffered, plus attorney fees.

So when someone sticks up for themselves, it costs the debt collectors money. In fact, they are so scared of being sued that they all work together to track the people that have sued to collect the $1,000.

Here is the best technique that I have heard of to stop the calls. According to one guy it works great. When a debt collector calls you stop and ask for the person's name and the company name. Then, say the following.

"Bob, I have documented that you have called me today. I also have documented your company name and the phone number you have called from. Now, let me tell you this.

Under my right in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am requesting that you stop any and all calls to me. If I get another call from this phone number, then I will be contacting my attorney to help me get the statutory damages laid out in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

In addition, I will call your manager and let them know that you could have saved the company $1,000, but chose not to. I will make sure that they understood who cost the company $1,000. So, don't call me again."

The reason this works so well is because you are holding that employee accountable. If they do call you again and have to pay you $1,000 as a result, then that manager will be angry. And it will hurt even more when you tell them that Bob could have saved them from paying it, but was incompetent.

Please try the script and let us know how it works out for you.

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?

How Does the Realtor Get Paid On A San Diego Short Sale



San Diego CA – A potential home seller asked The Stop Foreclosure Institute how we get paid on a short sale transaction. So I decided to answer that question in today’s blog post.

Here is how most Realtors get paid on a short sale. They make a real estate commission from the sale of the property. When the property sells a percentage of the sales price is paid as a commission.

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

Man sellers mistakenly think that since there is no equity in the property, then there is no way for the agent to be paid. In this situation the seller’s lender pays the commission.

They are willing to pay a commission on a short sale because if the property is foreclosed upon, not only will the property sell for less money, but they will also have to pay a commission on the sale of the foreclosed property.

Here is an example. You owed $500,000 on your home. The home is now worth $400,000. After real estate commissions, attorney fees, property taxes, sales taxes, and other miscellaneous fees, your lender will net $370,000.

Most people would be horrified at losing $130,000. However, lenders know there is risk in their business. They grant loans knowing that a certain percentage of them go bad.

After they have realized that a loan has gone bad, all they want to do is reduce their losses as much as possible. So they will sit down and calculate the losses on their different options.

We all know the short sale will net them $370,000.

How much will a foreclosure net them? Let’s run the numbers. If the house is worth $400,000, then it will probably sell for 10% less after a 12 month foreclosure process.

So they have a sales price of $360,000. Now, they have to add in real estate commissions, attorney fees, sales taxes, and all the other costs. They could end up netting around $310,000 after the foreclosure.

Accepting the $370,000 on the short sale and paying the realtor is a good alternative. Therefore they are glad to accept it and pay us to sell the property.

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


The Very Wise Words of Ludwig von Mises

Who in the world is Ludwig von Mises? He was an Austrian economist who was known for his contrarian views on how markets and people work. Mises had many insightful views on business. Here's one: “ It is not correct foresight as such that yields profits, but foresight better than that of the rest. The prize goes only to the dissenters, who do not let themselves be misled by the errors accepted by the multitude.”

Long-time readers will recognize a Misesian theme in some of our writings. For the past year, we've been counseling people to act, and not to wait until all signs point up, because when everything looks positive (or when everything looks negative), the multitude is in control.

We argue that today a “multitude” of negativity still pervades the market, making it a buyer's market. (We could have said there was a “multitude” of positivity in 2006, which made it a seller's market.) The problem is, it's difficult to stand against the multitude, even though it's often in our best interest to do so. Most people simply find it too uncomfortable to separate themselves from the crowd and look past today's problems to today's opportunities.

Fortunately, to be a successful dissenter, we only have to be mostly correct, not completely. We feel mostly correct in saying that buying real estate at today's prices and at today's rates will prove very profitable a few years from now.

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?
