PRINCIPAL REDUCTIONS – WILL THE BANK GUARANTEE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME?

In a briefing by Credit Suisse this week, the financial giant’s opinion was that reducing principal balances of underwater mortgages is a risky idea that has not been shown to keep underwater borrowers from later defaults.  In my practice as a Florida real estate lawyer, that opinion flies in the face of borrower sentiment.  The guiding force in the Credit Suisse statement seems to be the “…

Verbal Agreement from Chase, help!

Since we (the buyers) started this endeavor in July (2011), we've pushed the foreclosure date 4 times, had countless negotiations with the bank and just this month we FINALLY came to an agreement with them. A verbal agreement that is. It's been 3 weeks and we still haven't received anything in writing so we pushed the foreclosure a 5th time. Is the bank just pushing it so they can keep sitting on this contract and eventually just say no? How long does it typically take from a verbal contract…

Short Sale Road Rules: Getting Buyers and Sellers on the Same Page

Short Sale Road Rules: Getting Buyer and Seller on Same Page

 

One of the most neglected, and yet, most important part of a successful short sale is getting both buyer and seller on the same page.  This may stem from the traditional way of thinking on a traditional “retail” sale:  It’s “Us against them.”  This does not apply to short sales, and if you can over come this mentality, your closing success will…

HAP PCS - Why Am I Bringing Money To Closing?

Eglin HAP

Short sale window closing soon!!!!

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 is set to expire!!

The window is closing rapidly on one of the most important tax-relief provisions enacted by Congress during the housing crisis to help financially strapped homeowners.

Although the 2007 law that allows taxpayers to exclude from income the amount of debt that is forgiven or canceled by their lenders doesn’t expire until Dec. 31, it’s likely to take every bit of the coming months to…
