Bank of America Comes Through

In February we had a 10 month-old deal denied by Fannie Mae with NO counter, NO explanation, and NO discussion. Sound familiar? I took the advice of some on the site and e-mailed [email protected]. Within two weeks they assigned a resolution specialist, Amy Geimer. Amy went over the deal in detail with me and discovered that the previous negotiator had essentially ignored the most recent BPO. The offer that had been denied was about 5k above the "reserve" amount. I called the… Continue

The Political Side of Short Sales-Political Action Committee for the Investor/Buyer Market Makers

Lender Settlement Percentage Benchmarks

This issue is their BPO value is always 10-15% higher then true fair market value and doesn't normally reflect true distressed or settlement value which as an investor/buyer we need to see. Keep in mind this is based on loans in the NJ Market where we have been successful obtaining approvals on short sale deals. We have also attempted to re-cert value and perform desktop reviews and this has had little impact with changing BPO value. The… Continue

American Home Mortgage Corporation - stalled for a month - advice?

I have been stalled for a month on a short-sale with American Home Mortgage Corporation. On 3/26/2010, I received a voice message from the negotiator instructing me to call the general short-sale 800 number which I immediately did (the only communication I have ever received in two months from this negotiator).



The negotiator had updated the notes to the file stating the specific (higher) sales price they require and the additional requirement that the buyer pay a 1% Admin fee. I have… Continue

HAFA

I did not read anything in the agreements that indicated that the payment would be up to 31%. It does state that a partial mortage payment may be required during the short sale process.

Deficiency Judgment on Second with BofA

My seller has a first and second mortgage on their primary residence. We are in short sale negotiations and have an approved offer from BofA. My sellers are nervous about signing the def judgment waiver to allow BofA to pursue in the fuure. This only pertains to the second, since it was not purchase money. The amount of $44,000 is low, so I have been told that if the seller just waits 3-4 months they can contact the second lien holder and negotiate a lower settlement, say up to 10%, they…

Did Bank of America make an error that I should move forward on?

I represent a seller who has a first and a second with B of A. The second is a HELOC. The file is hardly short but just short enough that we needed to request a debt relief on the HELOC.
