Orlando FL – Does it make you angry when a bank kicks a family out of their home and loses money as a result? This happens all the time. Let me explain how.

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

A family buys a home for $250,000. The home declines in value to $150,000. At the same time, their income drops to where they can only afford a $150,000 mortgage payment.

Does their bank reduce their payment and allow them to keep their home? No! Instead, the bank forecloses on the home. But, it doesn’t sell for $150,000.

It sells for $140,000, because the bank didn’t keep it up and the buyers offered less because it was a bank owned home. The bank nets $120,000 on the sale.

So, instead of allowing the family to stay in their home and repay them $150,000; the bank instead chose to kick them out of their home and lost $30,000 as a result.

Isn’t this pathetic? We need to change the system, don’t we? Now, We can have our opinions about how the banks handle loan modifications. We can complain about how they lose their investor’s money.

We can do all of this. But, it doesn’t really matter if they don’t care. The people at the banks are in control of the system. They think they are in the right.

The bankers think that the homeowners were stupid, irresponsible, and bought more home than they could afford. In a real business, when an employee makes a decision that loses the company $180,000 heads, then heads will roll.

Someone is getting chewed out or fired. I remember a friend telling me about a restaurant. An employee had left some chicken out overnight and it spoiled. The restaurant lost $800.

That employee probably got chewed out. Maybe even fired. But, these banks lose Fannie Mae $180,000 and nothing happens. It’s business as usual. Pathetic, isn’t it?

We need to get out of venting to just people who are in the business. They already know we have a problem. But, the average american doesn’t know about the problems.

We need to show the American Public solid examples of how they are losing money. Let’s post the banks failings online. Tell the story at ripoffreport.com.

Loan modifications and short sales will become a game of chicken. You can tell the negotiator, “Turn down this offer at your own risk. If you fail, and the house sells for less money, then I will put the entire story up online.”

That will help our cause. All we are doing is making a track record of these bank’s decisions. People who have better information will make better decisions.

This will make it easier for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the American People to make better decisions on short sales and the short sale process.

So, please post your bank’s failings online. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on We Must Educate The Public About Banker’s Stupid Decisions On Orlando Loan Modifications is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from a person attempting a loan modification on their home. Here was their question.

“I have a first mortgage for $197,000. That was my original loan from when I bought my home. I borrowed $250,000 on a second mortgage for a remodel.

My house has dropped dramatically in value. It used to be worth over $500,000, but not the value is more like $250,000.

With the recent decrease in value, I would like to get a modification on my second mortgage. I would like to get that reduced to $250,000.”

We talked to this fellow and found out some other information. He mentioned that he was having a hard time paying the second mortgage.

He did mention that he was saving up $7,000 to settle a $25,000 debt on a credit card. That was the shocker. Why would you pay $7,000 to a credit card rather than paying your mortgage?

That will cover his second mortgage payments for almost a year. He thought it was the best opportunity he would ever have to avoid repaying the $25,000.

This was when I told him about a client we helped with a short sale. This seller had been chased down by a credit card judgment for over 3 years. However, they couldn’t levy her bank account or garnish her wages. Why not?

She found a state law that forbids garnishments when a person is a head of household. This is good news for the guy who wants to pay $7,000 to the unsecured credit card.

How does that impact his loan modification? It doesn’t. He still has to go thru the excitement of negotiating that. But, it does free up his finances dramatically.

Here is the bottom line. You don’t always have to choose between keeping your house and getting your wages garnished. If you are considering a loan modification, then first look at what other debts you can stop paying. Thinking about a loan modification?

Gitta Urbainczyk, Keller Williams Heritage Realty , and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

Orlando FL – We recently received an e-mail from another agent that was having a hard time with a short sale.

“I have been working this short sale file for 4 months. There has been “no movement” no responses from the bank, no closing date.

The June 30th date just continues to trickle closer and closer leaving the sickened buyers more upset and almost at their wits ends.”

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

Here is what we do when we get frustrated with short sales. We send out press releases and contact the bank’s CEO. If employees are dragging their feet, then you need to apply pressures elsewhere!

We had a short sale with a large national lender. We sent a fax to the CEO and got a response the next day. We are currently running a big press blitz against another lender.

They have dragged their feet on a short sale on a Veteran’s Administration Insured loan. As a result, a US Veteran risks losing his house to foreclosure.

This lender Fargo has the right to decide to do a lousy job. But, they also risk alienating themselves from the 27 mill.yun veterans in the US.

And we are going to let those veterans know what’s happening. We put together the facts on the story. We are going to fax the story to every single VFW post in the US.

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Samir. Here was his question.

“I am thinking about short selling my house. I’m just wondering how I can get someone to help me. I know that your website says that a short sale costs me nothing.

I just have a hard time understanding why my lender would pay you if they are losing money. Please explain that. Samir.”

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

Here was our answer to his question. We get paid because the bank benefits financial from a short sale. Yes, they are losing money. But, they are paying us because we are helping them cut their losses.

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 homes.

All of the homes were very similar. First, I looked up the average selling price per SQFT of homes that sold in 6-8 months ago. They sold for an average of $103 a SQFT.

Then, I pulled up houses in the same neighborhoods that sold after the bank had foreclosed on them. Those sales were 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 bank foreclosure sold for $30,600 less. Ouch! As you can see, a short sale realtor brings tremendous amount of value to the bank.

You also benefit. Your credit damage is reduced. You also, have a lower chance of being chased down for the bank’s losses. A short sale is a win – win for everyone involved. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on Why Is My Bank Willing To Pay You To Short Sale My Orlando Home? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

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.

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

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?

This information on Orlando Short Sales: Are Banks Playing Games With Their Financials? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

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.

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

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?

This information on Orlando Short Sales: Something You Must Know When Short Selling Your Property is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

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.

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

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.
