HAFA - proceeds to second lienholder

I must admit, I hate when I don't know the answer!  Fellow agent called me for help.  Has a HAFA deal.  Offer meets the minimum net.  1st is only willing to pay $669 to 2nd lienholder despite the fact that 6% of the balance owed is around $1500.  In looking for the info - I'd always thought it was 6% of unpaid balance or $6000 whichever was lower - I found a clause from 2011 removing the 6% requirement.  It says "up to $6K" and determinted by investor.  Investor is Wells.  Any advice?

  • I wish I had advice. Last year I lost more HAFA short sales that I wish to think about, because of rules. I am sorry but if it is regular HAFA,Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, those rules are made so banks can make up their own rules.  Why such a weird number ?

    • Thanks for your feedback!  Asking the buyer to make up the difference.  Hope it works!

  • The 6% UPB cap only applies to Fannie and Freddie HAFA.
