Stop Foreclosure Institute of Orlando Assisting Homeowners in Distress


In most areas the rental market is very tight. Rental prices have been increasing because so many people are losing their home to foreclosure.

But, what is still surprising is that in most cases it is still cheaper to rent than own an upside down home. See, home prices have dropped by 20-50%, depending on the area.

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

It was a lot less expensive to rent back in the peak of the real estate boom. After the crash rent dropped in many areas.

It has come back up, but it is still cheaper than a mortgage payment on a home bought at the peak of the housing market. Many people are shocked that it is often cheaper to short sale and rent that staying in their home with a loan modification.

Here are the two factors that make it possible to rent a comparable or even nicer home for less than their mortgage

Let’s take the example of a home who paid $150,000 for a home that is now worth $75,000. Their mortgage payment was around $1,350 a month.

They stopped paying their payments and moved to a rental. They found a much nicer, larger home to rent for $850 a month. (This was after trying for months to convince their lender to modify their loan.)

The lender wouldn’t drop the payments below $1,200 a month. The house they are renting is selling today for around $95,000.

Someone can buy that house for $95,000 and rent it for $850 a month without losing money. That is what makes it cheaper to rent versus getting a loan modification and staying in your home.

When prices were rising it was actually more expensive to own versus rent. But, everyone wanted to own because their house was supposed to go up in value.

If you are thinking about a loan modification, then first check into the rental market. You will be able to negotiate your loan modification from a position of power.

That will make it more likely that you will get the reduced payment you need so you can keep your home. Thinking about a short sale?

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.

Many lenders ask for a promissory note on short sales. This is especially true if the lender has Private Mortgage Insurance (also called PMI) that has to approve the short sale.

The PMI companies know that homeowners will do anything to protect their credit when they are short selling their home.

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

To avoid a promissory note you must convince the negotiator at the PMI Company that you have not assets and no disposable income that can be used to pay them.

I ask to speak directly with the PMI negotiator. Don’t let your lender tell you that you are not allowed to talk to them. Don’t take no for an answer. If necessary, ask to speak with a supervisor at the lender.

The PMI companies know that if the home is foreclosed, then they will lose even more money when the home is sold after foreclosure. Keep this in mind.

Tell the employee that you will hold them accountable if the home is foreclosed and sells for less money after foreclosure.

We have seen a lot of lenders and PMI Companies turn down short sales, only to see the property sell for much less after it is foreclosed upon.

If you stick to your guns they will release the debt and allow you to walk away without a promissory note. Thinking about a short sale?

Another common type of loan that does not usually have a deficiency is a VA loan.

But, how do you determine whether or not you have an VA loan?

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

On your original mortgage, 1-4 pages past the signature page will be a VA Rider. At the top it will say “NOTICE: THIS LOAN IS NOT ASSUMABLE WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.”

That is a VA loan. The picture above is from a VA mortgage. The page for the VA mortgage was 2 pages below the original signature page of the mortgage.

The pages between this and the signature page had the notary’s signature and the legal description. You can get a copy of your mortgage from the public records in your county.

Most realtors will know how to look up this information. If not, then they will know a title company that can do the research for you.

A VA Short Sale is called a “Compromise Sale.” According to those guidelines, they will give a complete release if a seller participates in the short sale program, and there was no “fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith” on the part of the homeowner.

The bad news is that you will not be eligible for another VA loan until you repay the VA for their loss. So you may not be able to get a VA loan in the future. Thinking about a short sale?

Orlando FL – Orlando Short SaleBuying a Short Sales can be a great way to get a good deal on your home purchase. However, you need to be aware of what is involved with buying a short sale.

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

Here are four things that will give you a better chance at success.

1. You must work with an agent that understands the short sale process. If your agent doesn’t understand the process, then they won’t know which short sales are worth looking at and which to avoid.

2. You must be pre-approved for a loan with a reputable lender. The short sale lender will want to know that you are qualified to buy before they will approve the short sale.

3. You must understand that not every property can be bought for below market value. This is especially true if you are buying a home where the seller’s agent is not experienced with short sales.

The short sale lender is a business and wants to recoup the most money from their investment. The entire reason for the short sale approval process is to protect their investment.

4. Be prepared to wait 3-4 months to buy the home. In my opinion, if you wait past 4 months, then the seller’s agent doesn’t know what they are doing.

It is unlikely that they will be able to convince the lender to approve the short sale, even if you give them another 3-4 months.

Between you and me, anyone who says that their last short sale took 8 months doesn’t know what they are doing. Thinking about a short sale?

Orlando FL –Orlando Short Sale The Stop Foreclosure Institute or Orlando recently received a question from Beckie. Here was her question.

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

“I need your help. I am trying to short sale my house. My lender is one of the largest in the country. We have been waiting for an answer on the short sale for six months now.

I finally received an answer last week in form of a counter offer to the price. The buyers had agreed to pay $315,000. However, my lender wanted $345,000. The buyer is not willing to offer any more money.

My realtor said he will try his best to negotiate at that price. Before I could send the comps to the lender, they ordered an appraisal. My realtor doesn’t think the house is worth any more than the $315,000.

We put the home on the market and received another offer for $341,000. We told the first buyer if he paid $345,000, then we would sell to him. He didn’t budge. So we accepted the higher offer.

In the meantime, our lender approved the original buyer’s offer at $315,000. That causes my dilemma. The bank’s representative suggested that we not submit the higher offer so as not to rock the boat.

Do we sell to the original buyer who has been waiting to buy the home for several months or sell to the new buyer paying the higher price? Beckie.”

Here was our answer to Beckie’s Question. I don’t personally think that you are morally required to submit the higher offer to BOA.

But, it will help you reduce the amount you owe to your lender and any potential income taxes owed. Thinking about a short sale?

Short Sales where two or more mortgages are involved are the trickiest. Both mortgage companies are losing a lot of money.

They both think that they are entitled to the proceeds of the sale. This is the most common short sale problem. Today we’ll give you an example of how we solved this problem.

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

For example, we had a short sale with a first mortgage, a second mortgage, and a third lien. The third lien was an old credit card judgment. It had to be paid off to sell the house. Here is what happened.

The first mortgage was only willing to pay $3,000 to any second mortgages or liens. The second mortgage wanted $4,500. The credit card judgment wanted $5,000. How were we going to get the extra money for them?

I had to escalate the file with the first mortgage. I told them that they had two options.

Option one: Pay the first and second mortgage what they wanted and net X from the short sale.

Option two: Foreclose and net $15,000 less than X. Yes, my projections showed that they would lose an additional $15,000 if they rejected the short sale.

I have a calculator that puts all these numbers together. In addition, I have the proof to back it up.

Here is an example of that proof. There was recent short sale where the first mortgage stubbornly refused to give enough money to the second mortgage.

As a result, they foreclosed on the house and sold it for around $43,000 less than the short sale price.

I found out about this house because I met the first buyers at an Open House. They were trying to buy a short sale and were offering $272,000. The first mortgage was RBC, owed $337,500.

The 2nd was Bank of America, owed 70k. The agent submitted the short sale offer to both companies. RBC said they would only pay $1,000 to the second mortgage. The second mortgage wanted more.

The short sale dragged out for months. Finally the buyer paying $272,000 walked. The listing agent put the house back on the market. The housing market had declined. Now the only offers she could get were around $230,000. The house ended up selling for $229,000.

RBC was greedy and wouldn’t offer enough money to the second mortgage. As a result, they lost around $43,000. Was that a smart business decision? I don’t think so.

Now, back to my short sale story. I sent this and several other similar examples to the people at the first mortgage company. They agreed to pay the second mortgage $3,000 and completely pay off the credit card judgment.

Everyone came to an agreement and the sale closed. The seller was able to wipe out over $70,000 in upside down debt and move on with her life. Thinking about a short sale?

I recently read an article about how Medicare was costing way more than the government had projected it would cost. The article stated that there were several stages of how these programs work.

First, people who are eligible have to be told about the program. They join and the program might meet close to its projected costs. Then, all the people eligible for the program join.

After a little while people who aren’t eligible for the program feel like suckers for not getting the free benefits. They jump in. The program starts to cost more than originally projected.

Politicians see the popularity of the program and expand the eligibility. Even more people jump on board. Something similar is happening in short sales and loan modifications.

The sucker stage has kicked in. It’s now considered a smart financial decision to short sale your house. No one is ashamed of it anymore. I don’t think they should be ashamed.

After all, the American Taxpayers are the ones who bailed out the banks. We are the ones bailing out Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac.

Unfortunately, each of us will pay a bunch of money into those failed entities, whether we want to or not. We might as well get some of our money back. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on Orlando Short Sales: Why It’s Not Embarrassing To Short Sale Your Home Anymore is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – Orlando Short SaleIn a recent blog posts, I discussed how banks throw out a short sale file if it is rejected. When an offer comes in on a short sale, it takes 30-60 days for a person at the bank to look at the offer.

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

Then, that person orders an appraisal on the property. After that appraisal comes back, the bank employee reviews the property value and the home seller’s personal financial situation.

Based on that, they approve or deny the short sale offer. They do this to avoid approving short sales when either a homeowner can still afford the house or the house is selling for under the appraised value.

What do they do if the short sale offer is rejected? Well, they tell the buyer to hit the road and close the file. Everything gets thrown out. The appraisal is thrown out. And all the time that employee spent looking at the seller’s finances is thrown out.

So, each buyer has to wait 60-90 days for an answer on their short sale. If that buyer’s offer doesn’t work, then all that paperwork is thrown out and the property is put back on the market.

(Yes, some banks are pre-approving short sales before they come on the market. But, that is the exception, not the rule. Most banks are not pre-approving short sales.)

The home is marketed and then the next buyer has to go thru the process all over again. So, why does this matter to you?

A short sale helps you avoid the bad mark a foreclosure puts on your credit for the rest of your life. On any future loan application you will have to put “yes” next to the question “Have you ever lost a home to foreclosure?”

So even though the foreclosure goes off your credit in 7 years that question stays with you for the rest of your life. That is why most people prefer a short sale.

Your agent is going to have to be persistent in order to give you a better chance at a successful short sale. A competent, experienced short sale realtor that can successfully navigate the system.

They can convince your lender that it is in their best interest to accept the short sale offer. They can also convince them to pre-approve the short sale at a set price.

This gives you a better chance at avoiding foreclosure. Thinking about a short sale?

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.

This information on Orlando Short Sales: Why Persistence Is So Important In Success At Short Sales is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

There are some disadvantages of a short sale. But, remember how much a short sale would save you over a foreclosure.

A short sale allows you to buy another home 2-4 years sooner and you avoid paying 2-4 years of rent. That would enable you to pay off your house 2-4 years sooner. You can put the $20,000 to $100,000 saved into your retirement.

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

Based on that I think we can both agree that a short sale can save you between $20,000 and $100,000 compared to a foreclosure. So, are the following disadvantages worth $20,000 to you?

Cons of a Short Sale:

1. There is no guarantee your bank will accept the short sale offer. However, banks are working very hard to improve their processes. They want the short sale process to become easier to work with.

2. The bank will want to see all documentation on your income and assets. Some people are private and don’t want someone else looking over their information.

3. Short Sales do not always go fast. They can drag on for 3-6 months. However, you can still live in the home for free during that time.

The bottom line is that a short sale is a good option for most homeowners. It allows you to get rid of the debt and move on with your life. Many people rent another home for less than their mortgage payment.

In one example, a homeowner in foreclosure found a larger home with a garage. It even had a fenced backyard for their kid. Their mortgage payment was $1,500.

They rented the nicer, bigger house for $850 a month. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on A Few Disadvantages Of A Orlando Short Sale is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – Orlando Short SaleWe received an email from another agent named Mark that shows how the flawed short sale process causes banks to lose thousands.

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

Here is the email from Mark. “I have been working on a Short Sale for almost a year now. The abandoned Home was listed at $103,000 in the beginning.

The price was unrealistic for a virtual tear-down built in 1860. It will take 3 semi trailers to haul off the asbestos alone. We received several offers for $85,000 and $89,000 from the city.

They wanted to buy the 2 acre property to expand the city park. The asking price is now $69,000 and we have had multiple offers.

However the bank keeps on declining these offers because they don’t feel that they are close to the value of the home.

The bank hasn’t done an appraisal and probably has no idea of the true value other than the supporting evidence I have provided to them. Mark.”

As you can see, the bank has lost $15,000 to $20,000 by turning down the previous offers. This kind of stuff happens every day.

The moral of the story is that you need to hire a competent, experienced short sale realtor that can successfully navigate the system.

That is the key to a successful short sale and avoiding the mark of a foreclosure on your credit. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on Orlando Short Sales: More Examples of Stupid Things Banks Do On Short Sales is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL –Orlando Short Sale I have something shocking to tell you. Bankers are not as smart as you or I think they are. You know the “perfect banker” that we meet in public.

The person has never missed a payment, never been late, and has always had a bunch of savings in the bank. They sneeringly look down on normal Americans that haven’t saved their money like Scrooge Chuck.

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

Here is the sad truth. Although they think that they are so smart with money, they actually are not. And today I’ll show you one example why.

Let’s look at how 90% of the banks handle the short sale process. When an offer comes in on a short sale, it takes 30-60 days for a person at the bank to look at the offer.

Then, that person orders an appraisal on the property. After that appraisal comes back, the bank employee reviews the property value and the home seller’s personal financial situation.

Based on that, they approve or deny the short sale offer. They do this to avoid approving short sales when either a homeowner can still afford the house or the house is selling to low. Seems like a smart way to do things, right?

Here comes the stupid part. What do they do if the short sale offer is rejected? Well, they tell the buyer to hit the road and close the file. Everything gets thrown out. The appraisal is thrown out. And all the time that employee spent looking at the seller’s finances is thrown out.

Which means that they have to do all of that work again when a new short sale offer comes in. What’s worse is that it causes the banks to lose millions of dollars.

As an example, an agent I know told me about a short sale property he handled. “The first offer for $275,000 was rejected by the bank. Several more offers were rejected over the next year.

The housing market continued to decline. Finally almost 2 years later they accepted an offer for $235,000. Yes, they lost $40,000 because of the flawed short sale process.

That’s a pretty dumb way to handle things, isn’t it? And yet, most bankers sneeringly think they are responsible with money! It’s crazy, isn’t it?

Some people don’t know why they should bother with a short sale. “I’ll just let the bank foreclose. A short sale isn’t worth the aggravation”, they tell us.

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

There is one simple reason I would prefer to short sale my home rather than let the bank foreclose. If I short sell my home, then I can buy a new home in 3 years, rather than waiting the 5-7 years required after a foreclosure.

Most people’s finances will improve. They will get back on their feet financially. The economy is starting to pick back up. Some will start a new career. Others will find a new job at a new company.

Many and the most will be able to afford a home again. You can buy another home 2-4 years sooner. That means you can pay it off sooner.

The money you would have thrown away on 2-4 years of rent can be put towards retirement. Would $20,000 to $100,000 help you out in retirement?

That’s the money saved from being thrown away on rent. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on The Advantages A Orlando Short Sales Has Over Foreclosure is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – IOrlando Short Salen 2010, an agent I know talked to the person at Bank of America in charge of the Loss Mitigation Department.

He was the top manager in the department that handles short sales, loan modifications, and foreclosures. He contacted this agent because agents were banding together to educate the public on the mistakes he thought that Bank of America was making.

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

Today, almost 2 years later, Bank of America is starting to make a few, small changes to the short sale process. This agent recommended small changes to how Bank of America handled the short sale process.

He recommended several changes that would be easy to implement. But, it still took almost 2 years for them to implement those small changes. Why?

We think it was because Bank of America has been in crisis mode since the beginning of 2009. It’s hard to make proactive changes when you are putting out fires every day.

Will Bank of America ever recover? Will the ever fix the processes they use to handle loan modifications and short sales?

Well, at the slow rate they are going it will be a while before we see any progress. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on Orlando Short Sales: Bank of America Still Has Huge Problems is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – Orlando Short SaleThe National Consumer Law Center wrote a White Paper on how banks handle loan modifications, short sales and foreclosures.

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

They titles their White Paper “Why Servicers Foreclose When They Should Modify and Other Puzzles of Servicer Behavior.” Check out the White Paper at this link: http://www.nclc.org/images/pdf/pr-reports/report-servicers-modify.pdf.

The “servicer” they are referring to is a bank that is handling a mortgage for another entity.

As an example, around 80% of all of Bank of America’s mortgages are not owned by Bank of America. Instead, they are owned by another entity like Fannie Mae or a hedge fund.

Bank of America is simply handling the accounting, tax filings, and the foreclosure and collections process. The Consumer Law Center thought it was “puzzling” that servicers preferred foreclosure over loan modification.

The reason that the servicers prefer it is because it is less work and they make more money in the process. But, I don’t think it is puzzling. Why not?

Because there is almost zero accountability! The owners of these mortgages never check in on the process. They don’t know that a servicer denied a short sale offer for $385,000, only to see the property sell for $230,000 as a foreclosure.

Because they are not checking on things Uncle Sam and the owners of these loans are seeing huge, unnecessary losses. Pretty sad, isn’t it? Thinking about a short sale?

Orlando FL –Orlando Short Sale Short sales often get multiple offers from different buyers. Which offer should you accept over the others?

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

Most people would assume that you would automatically pick the offer with the highest price. However, this isn’t always a good idea.

The offer with the highest price may have the shakiest financing. Most short sale lender issue a deadline when they approve a short sale. They state that their approval is only good for 30 days.

After 30 days, then they short sale has to be re-negotiated from scratch. That only causes the process to drag out another 2-6 months. So, you want to make sure the buyer’s offer is strong and that their financing is approved.

In this case, a little lower price might be worth considering versus a higher price with an unqualified buyer. Another thing to consider is repairs. Some short sales need repairs before they can be financed.

Most loan programs are for homes in good condition. If your home needs repairs, then most of the buyers won’t get approved for a loan until those repairs are completed. But, not every buyer has lots of cash on hand to make repairs.

Ask your agent for advice on which offer to accept. The offer with the highest price and best qualifications is the one you should pick. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Tom Mack, eXp 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.
