Orlando Short Sales: Who Benefits From A Short Sale?

November 11, 2010

Orlando FL – First, it benefits the owner of the loan. This is because they get to sell the house at today’s price, versus what it will be worth 6-12 months down the road. I just did a comparison and pulled up sold listings.

All of the listings were the similar properties in similar neighborhoods. First, I looked up the average selling price per SQFT of homes that sold in Spring. They sold for an average of $103 a SQFT.

Then, I pulled up homes in the same neighborhoods that sold as REOs in the last 2 months. They are sold for an average of $85 a SQFT. These homes average 1,700 a SQFT. That means a 1,700 REO sold for $30,600 less. Ouch!

The other person that’s getting value is the buyer. They get a better deal in today’s market than buying a home from someone who is trying to squeeze out every penny.

You, the seller also benefit. You will be eligible to buy another home in 24 months. You have a better chance of getting a job, because many employers check that nowadays. A short sale is a win – win for everyone involved.

Orlando Short Sales: Another Thing That Is Dragging On The Economy

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute received another testimonial from a seller. She said a lot of stuff and it refreshed my memory. The average person just doesn’t realize how “going broke” makes people feel like trash.
People start doubting themselves. They keep on kicking themselves down mentally.

“Why did I buy that house?” “Why didn’t I work harder at my job, so I wouldn’t get laid off?” Why did I get laid off, and not Joe?”, they say to themselves. “I am such a loser and I can’t find a decent job anymore!”

They start thinking all of this stuff. Then, they start getting a lot of mean people calling the house. People such a bill collectors, debt collectors, and their mortgage company.

All of these people use mean, threatening tactics to try and get them to pay. Then, they get in a fight with their spouse over money. It all adds up. They are emotionally beat.

Sometimes they give up, without even realizing it. It’s tough. Everyone kicks you while you are down. They stop taking risks. They stop looking for work.

Or, they lack confidence and as a result don’t get the job. Pretty soon they don’t think they can contribute to the economy. It is a horrible cycle.

If you are experiencing this, don’t give up. Things will turn around. No, I’m not just talking about the general economy. Yes, that will turn around. But, your personal economy will turn around, whether or not the general economy does.

First, you have to get your confidence back. There are several ways you can do this. If you are unemployed, then get a new job. Any job will do, even if it isn’t where you want to end up.

If you are overqualified for the job, then you will look awesome there. But, it will make it much easier for you to get a new, better job elsewhere. Someone is much more likely to hire a person who has a job than someone who is unemployed.

Pretty soon you will get your life back together. Yes, it will feel like a long time. It will be humiliating at time. But, if you just keep on pushing, then it will happen.

I have met so many people who have been hurt by this tough economy. All of them have gotten back on their feet eventually. Sure it wasn’t fun. But, they did it and I’m sure you can to.

Orlando Short Sales: A Common Myth About Banks and Short Sales

November 9, 2010

Orlando FL – I’ve heard the following myth from a lot of people. Here’s what they tell me.

“The banks can’t afford to approve loan modifications because they don’t want to take the losses on their books that fast. Also, their investors may not approve the short sale, because they can’t afford to write off too much loss at once.

And the circle goes around and around”, they say. This common myth isn’t true. Here is why.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and request a free consultation by clicking here.

The odds are that your loan is not owned by your lender. For example, 80% of all Bank of America’s loans are not owned by them. The biggest holders are the Government Sponsored Enterprises, also called GSEs. The GSEs are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae.

These entities are accustomed to losses. In fact, they have loan loss reserves on the books. The other entity that is accustomed to losses is FHA and VA. Between 65-70% of all US mortgages are owned or insure by the GSEs or FHA & VA.

Even small local banks don’t own a large percentage of the loans they hold on the books. For example, another agent I know lives in a small town of 60,000 people. There is a bank that dominates the lending market in the area.

You would think this small bank was lending their own money. Not so. The majority of their loans are sold off within 12-18 months after they are written.

Here is the real reason that loan modifications and short sale are so tough. Remember, loan modifications and short sales will usually net the owner of the loan more money than a foreclosure.

The people who process the loan modifications and short sales won’t lose any money if the home is foreclosed. Here is a classic example of this. An agent is negotiating an FHA short sale with Bank of America.

The short sale negotiator told him it would take her 2-3 weeks to review the offer and then submit it to FHA for final approval. How long was it going to take FHA to review the submitted file and respond?

She told the agent that that FHA had a 72 hour turnaround from when she submits the file to her. It’s pathetic. In this example, BOA isn’t losing the money, FHA is losing it instead. Yes, the system isn’t working, but no one in Washington or at the big banks really seems to care.

Foreclosure Prevention Question: My House Is In Foreclosure, When Will I Have To Move Out?

November 8, 2010

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from a homeowner facing foreclosure. I’ll call him Dave to protect his identity.

(Foreclosure is embarrassing and I don’t want to put his name out there.) Dave asked, “I haven’t made a house payment in a while. I’m just wondering how much longer it will be before I have to move out?”

Here is the answer to Peter’s Question. It all depends on what his plans are and how tight he is on money.

Most people in foreclosure are at a disadvantage because they how the process works. Here is the answer to his question.

It all depends what on the state he is located in and whether or not his lender has started the foreclosure process. So the first thing you should do is find out if the foreclosure has been started.

You can do that by calling the courthouse in your county or town. for example, if you live in Orange County, then you would call the Orange County Courthouse. They will direct you to the correct person.

Once you find the correct people, ask them for the foreclosure department. Then, ask the clerk there how you can research if a foreclosure has been filed against you.

They will either direct you to a website, or look up the information on their computer. Here is why it is important to find out if the foreclosure has been started.

We have seen many lenders wait 8 months, 12 months, and sometimes even longer, to start the legal foreclosure process. Many of them are backed up and don’t have the staff in place to handle everything.

Once the foreclosure has been started you will want to see how far along it is. Every state handles foreclosure process differently. In addition, they all have different time periods for redemption.

Because of that, I would recommend you contact a competent Stop Foreclosure Institute Specialist in your area. I am the local specialist for Orlando, Florida.

If you are located in Florida and want more information on the status of your foreclosure, then send me an e-mail at gitta@gitta.com. I will contact you for a free consultation. Or, if you prefer, then you can call me at 407-330-2181.

Thinking About A Short Sale, But Can’t Pay Your Homeowners’ Association Dues?

November 1, 2010

Orlando FL – Many people don’t think they are eligible for a short sale because they have unpaid homeowners’ association dues. Don’t worry about paying them yourself. When you short sale your home the association dues will be paid by your lender.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and request a free consultation by clicking here.

A homeowners’ association is a very small percentage of the overall short sale value. Lenders know that a short sale will net them substantially more money than a foreclosure.

I had an example in the post below. I showed a house that received a $119,900 short sale offer. The lender rejected that offer. The home was foreclosed on and sold for $96,400. That means that lender lost $23,500 by rejecting that short sale offer.

The short sale lenders have ran all the numbers on a short sale versus foreclosure. They have high paid actuaries who go through everything.

If they have to foreclose, then they want to make sure they get the most amount of money possible. They know that they can recoup their money faster with a short sale versus foreclosing on a house and then reselling it.

Because of that they are willing to pay your delinquent homeowners association dues. In addition, the bank pays the real estate agent (they will have to hire a real estate agent when they sell the house.)

They also pay the title insurance and property taxes, because they must be paid in order to sell a house. They have to pay all those costs when they sell a bank owned property.

The Bottom Line: All of the costs are borne by the bank in a short sale. You pay nothing.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail. If you prefer, then you can call me at 407-330-2181.
