Orlando FL – Some experts speculate that banks don’t like to approve short sales or loan modifications. Here is why they think that.

They think that lenders are reluctant to speed up short sales or loan mods because they want to hold off the day of reckoning. Let me explain.

Let’s say that Joe owes $300,000 on his mortgage. The house appraised for $300,000 when he bought it.

However, the market value has dropped to $220,000. Joe gets behind on payments. Unless Joe has an extra $80,000 lying around, then his bank just lost $80,000.

You know it, I know it, the bank CEO knows it, and even Joe knows this. However, the bank’s investors don’t know it. Why not?

The $80,000 loss hasn’t been factored into earnings yet. If the bank can drag out the short sale and loan mod process to drag out, then they can delay putting the losses onto their books.

Now, I’m sure you are saying, “But there are SEC regulations that forbid this from happening. Let’s look at a real life example of this happening.

Germany and France are having a hard time agreeing to bailout Greece. Now, I’m sure that they have rules similar to the SEC in America.

Sarkozy and Merkel both know that if they don’t bail them out, then French and German Banks will lose their shirt. This will cause huge financial problems for the entire euro zone and the French and German Economies.

Even though everyone know that those banks have already lost the money. But, the losses haven’t been factored onto the books yet. Thinking about a short sale?

Orlando FL – We received some interesting and shocking news from another agent. They told us that lenders are are approving short sale and stating that they will allow the seller to walk away owing nothing.

However, after the short sale is complete, then they are resuming collection tactics to repay them on the loan. These lenders are actually stating in their short sale approval letters that the seller will be released from liability.

Here is the e-mail I received from this agent. “I having been working the short sales diligently the past two years and continue learning a lot, even though this is a tough market.

I recently completed a transaction where the lender agreed in writing to not pursue a deficiency judgment. After the transaction closed, the owner received a notice that the lender was still going to go after him for the deficiency.

There is so much fear that drives people into foreclosure and bankruptcy, that I don’t have any information about “after the fact”. Jan.”

As you can see, the lenders aren’t playing fair. This is the second story I have heard about this. I don’t remember the details on the other one, but I think it involved one of the biggest lenders, who also happens to have a horrible reputation on short sales.

They did a short sale, and from what that agent told me, the short sale approval released the seller completely. The lender chased the seller down for 60k after closing.

Obviously I haven’t seen the approval letters on these stories. So, I don’t know for sure if the short sale approval letters actually did let the seller off completely.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. It looks like the typical way of doing business for the banks. Kick the little guy while the people at the top get rich. Or, if you have connections, you get bailed out.

Where is the bailout money coming from? Oh, I almost forgot again. The little guy. Thinking about a short sale?

Orlando FL – In our blog post a few days ago, we talked about a first and second mortgage that both wanted more money out of the deal. The problem was they were asking for it at the other’s expense.

In a sense, we had two monkeys with their hand in the same cookie jar. Neither could get their hand out without the other’s cooperation. So, you have an impasse until someone gives in.

Here is what happens if both parties stubbornly refuse to compromise. The first mortgage forecloses on the house and sells it as a bank owned property. They get the full value of whatever the house sells for.

The second mortgage gets zero! Yep, that’s right. Because they are a second mortgage, their right to the property is removed thru foreclosure.

Now, I’m sure you’re asking, “Then why would the first mortgage even give them a penny? They shouldn’t even negotiate with them!”

Here is why it does pay them to negotiate with them. It pays to do so. It takes 6-12 months to foreclose on a property. 6-12 months of lost interest earnings is a lot more than paying $3,000 to $9,000 to the second mortgage.

So, that is your ultimate bargaining chip to use against the second mortgage. We even tell them that if they don’t accept the offer and the home is foreclosed upon, then we will report them to their boss.

Orlando FL – Is your lender being unreasonable? Are they unwilling to let you short sale and walk away from the debt? Here is what to do.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

First, you can make their failings public. Tell your story to your local newspaper, TV station, or radio station. You would be amazed at how fast you lender will backpedal in the face of bad publicity.

Here is an inside tip. Send a copy of your press release to the lender’s Media Relations Department. They are the people whose only job is to make sure no bad publicity gets out. They will pay attention to your story!

A second option is to file a rip off report. Go to www.ripoffreport.com and put in all the details. If you include the bank’s name, then it is likely to show up on Google when someone searches for that bank.

Orlando FL – Many people are embarrassed that they are short selling their house. They feel like they are somehow being dishonest or shady. Neither one of those is true. A lot of the people short selling today never had a blemish in their credit. They lived perfect, responsible financial lives. Then the real estate market crashed and left them owing way more than their home was worth.

For years everyone had told them that couldn’t happen. Many of those people also lost their job for the first time in their life. You must remember, you are not alone. We are seeing as many short sales in the upper income brackets as the lower income brackets.

I will not be judgmental when you short sell with me. I deal with people from all walks of life. Some are high income. Others bought less expensive homes. Either way, it doesn’t matter to me. I see a short sale as a smart financial decision.

So I won’t be judging you. Instead, I’ll be congratulating you. Who wants to be burdened with a huge debt for the rest of your life? Not me. And neither should you. Here is why a short sale is a smart financial decision.

Let us say that you are upside down on a house by $100,000. (If you owe less than that, don’t laugh. Many people are upside down by that amount and more.) Repaying $100,000 over 30 years, will cost you $215,000. That is the $100,000 originally owed, along with $115,000 in interest payments.

What if instead of doing that, you put that money towards retirement? You could earn 5% interest on that money. $215,000 at 5% is $10,750 a year. Would that be helpful in retirement? That is one small reason I recommend short sales to my customers. You can get the upside down debt forgiven in a short sale.

Orlando, FL – Are you looking for a Orlando Realtor that specializes in short sales. It is important that you pick the right agent. Many agents turn down short sale listings because they are unfamiliar with the process. These transactions are much more difficult and complicated than your average real estate transaction.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Because of the foreclosure process, you usually only have one chance at a short sale. If your first agent isn’t competent, then you risk losing your house to foreclosure. Then you have to wait another 5-7 years to buy your next house. First, ask the agent you are interviewing why they qualify to help you. Do they have any special short sale training or designations? Many agents have taken specialized training and education. They care about being up to date with the current trends in the market.

Next ask them how much experience they have selling short sales. An agent who has closed a few short sales is a lot better prepared than an agent that has not. You want someone experienced working for you.

Who is your lender? Ask the agent is they have closed any short sales with your lender. Every lender handles short sales a little bit differently. If your lender is ABC Lender and the agent has experience with ABC Lender, then they already know the process. Your agent will be prepared because they are familiar with that lenders’ process.

After that, ask the agent how they negotiate their short sales? They may do the follow up themselves. Or, they may hire a competent title company or loss mitigation company to do it for them. Either way is fine. Just make sure the person handling your file is suited for the job. Thinking about a short sale?
