6 Weeks and nothing..EMC Short sale...

So my fiance and I have put an offer in on a home that has been in the short sale process for quite some time.  There has only been one offer previous to us(months ago) and it never went through, the people backed out because the bank wouldn't pay all of the closing costs.  Well we put an offer in for the bank to pay half of the closing costs and the realtors thought that would be okay.  Well we're approaching our 7th week with nothing from the bank.  The selling realtor said the owners of the… Continue

Explaining Mortgage Insurance And How Comes Into Play With A Short Sale

Possibly. I had a member of Short Sale Superstars wonder why a Mortgage Insurance Company would let a property go to foreclosure instead of agreeing to a Short Sale now. The property is in a non-recourse State so the Seller is protected from any deficiency judgments after a foreclosure. So why wouldn't the MI just settle now and be done with it?

I am singing "Dealing with PNC Mtg who is negotiating for BOA blues"

On this particular property I have been through 2 different Buyers and 4 appraisals, 2 by the lender.  I know for a fact that all 4 came in around the same price.  There is a 2nd and a 3rd which have been negotiated and approved.  The Buyer is willing to contribute to the balance of the 2nd and the 3rd so there will be no deficiency notes.  After we did everything that PNC Mtg requested from the "investor" BoA they came back to say they would rather go to foreclosure.  Under the new law…

Do you REALLY want a short sale or is a foreclosure more suited to you?!?!?!

Sometimes I really wonder if people, no matter how hard I stress the importance of submitting supplemental documentation in a timely manner, really see the urgency in the situation.

 

Day 1 of request:  Hi, Mr. Seller The bank is requesting this form to be filled out and they need it back in 4 days.

Day 2, Hi Mr. Seller Have you filled out that form for your lender? Could you send it back to me ASAP

Day 3, Mr. Seller it is imperative to get that form back to your…

New SBA Guidelines Expand Ability for Borrowers to Buy/Refinance Commercial

By Elizabeth Braman

Commercial borrowers are now able to refinance existing loans to 90% using the Small

Business Administration's 504 loan program, thanks to a new law enacted on September

27, 2010. This law brought about significant changes to the SBA's lending guidelines.

Most significantly, SBA loans now create opportunities for overleveraged property

owners to refinance into lower rate, stable, long‐term commercial mortgages.

The 504 program recognizes that… Continue

ING Direct Blacklists American Homeowner Preservation

ING Direct, the Dutch-bank and internet-based mortgage lender, has objected to American Homeowner Preservation’s program to keep families in their homes, and ING will no longer consider AHP short sales. “ING DIRECT will also be adding your company to our exclusionary list as your company strictly finds investors to keep sellers in their home, while the bank takes a significant loss.  This is against ING DIRECT’s short sale policies and guidelines, and as such you will no longer be able to work… Continue

Military Short Sale

I had to deal with a bank for a borrower who is in the military, and we all appreciate and respect these military people, as they are our protectors. How can a bank, state, "unless we have a copy of the borrowers orders, stating that he must live a certain distance from home to base, we will not even consider a short sale". as we all know, military files are "Classified/confidential" and cannot and will not be handed to a bank for any reason whatsoever. Common sense,… Continue

Dealing with Credit Unions for a Short Sale

As a Short sale Specialist, I have never dealt with such a bunch of unmotivated employees at Tremont Credit Union, who not only are so disorganized, but would rather foreclose on a borrower, instead of trying to, #1, possibly and likely obtain more money from a short sale; #2, take a chance that if the home becomes foreclosed on and then becomes vacant, there will be a possibility that the home could be vandalized,… Continue
