Will I Have My Wages Garnished After A Paulding County Short Sale?

admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:06:29 +0000

Paulding County GA – Many people are concerned about a deficiency after a short sale. They are afraid that their bank may garnish all of their wages.

It’s scary to think that at any moment your bank could grab every dime you make and leave you broke. Most people short sell their house because of financial problems.

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

They can’t afford to lose a month’s worth of salary. But, here is the good news. There is a maximum amount that anyone can garnish. According to Department of Labor’s Website, anyone garnishing your wages can take a maximum of 25% of whatever you earn.

Sure, it’s not fun to have 25% of your earnings taken. But, 25% is much less than the 100% that most people think they will take.

So, even if you do get a deficiency on your short sale, it is not the end of the world. They cannot take all of your money and ruin your life.

Before your lender can garnish your wages they usually have to go to court and get a judgment against you. That takes time and costs money. A lawsuit can cost them a thousand dollars or more.

The high costs causes lenders to think twice before sueing most homeowners. Even better news is the fact that there are a lot of loopholes. For example, in Florida the head of household is exempt from garnishment.

Most garnishments have to be approved by a judge. If you can show the judge that you have kids to take care of, then they may deny the garnishment.

Or, you can show the judge that a garnishment would cause you serious financial hardship where you couldn’t afford gas to drive to work.

The bottom line is that so few homeowners who short sell their house will ever be pursued with a garnishment.

We have helped hundreds of homeowners with a short sale and haven’t met anyone whose wages were garnished after the short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

A Common Paulding County Georgia Short Sale: The Most Common Types Of Loan That Do Not Require A Deficiency

admin — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:29:10 +0000

Paulding County GA – OK, let’s talk about the most common types of loans that do not require a deficiency on a short sale. The first common loan type is a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan.

I’ll call them Fannie & Freddie in this post. Freddie & Fannie are different quasi-governmental entities that own mortgages. For our conversation, they are very similar in the way they handle short sales.

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

First, you need to find out if Fannie or Freddie own your loan.

Fannie Mae has a website with a lookup tool. Go to this site to research if your loan is owned by Fannie Mae: www.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/

Freddie Mac has a lookup tool here: ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/

If your loan is owned by Fannie Mae, then you usually do not have to worry about a deficiency. Fannie Mae’s official policy is that they will forgive the debt if a seller has a genuine hardship.

Fannie & Freddie’s policies are basically the same. They state that they will pursue a short sale seller if they have they can afford to make the payment or it is an investment property.

You need to keep this in mind if you are strategically defaulting. One problem with some of these short sales is that the loan was insured by Private Mortgage Insurance, also called PMI.

The PMI companies have the ability to approve or veto the short sale offer. Many PMI companies ask for a promissory note before they will approve a short sale.

The good news is that the promissory note is usually less than the amount lost. For example, we recently saw a lender lose over $100,000 on a short sale. They asked the homeowner for a $20,000 promissory note.

Are you willing to pay $20,000 to walk away from $100,000 in debt? I think that’s a good bargain.

If you have a Fannie or Freddie Loan and have a genuine hardship, then you can be pretty confident that you have a very good shot at being able to walk away without a deficiency. Thinking about a short sale?

A Common Paulding County Short Sale Myth: You Don’t Know If Your Lender Will Want A Deficiency Until We Have Started The Short Sale Process

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:04:14 +0000

Paulding County GA – I am about to explain how the different types of loans impacts whether or not you will have a deficiency after you short sale your house.

But, I first want to bust the common myth that you won’t know if you will have a deficiency until after you have started the short sale process.

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

Many agents will tell you that you won’t know for sure if you will have a deficiency until you have started the short sale process. Sure, they can give you the answer if you are in a non deficiency state, such as California.

But, what if you are in Florida, which is a deficiency state? They will usually tell you that you won’t know if you will have a deficiency until the short sale process has been started.

That is not necessarily true. First, here is the good news. In about 80-90% of all cases, you will not have a deficiency on a short sale even if you live in a deficiency state.

But, if your loan is the type that do not require deficiencies, then you don’t have to worry about a deficiency. The key is to find out the type of loan you have and the short sale guidelines for that type of loan.

In my next post I will start to explain those different loan types and their short sale guidelines. Thinking about a short sale?

I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at bion@bionsellshomes.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

Paulding County Loan Modification Tips: How To Gain A Negotiating Edge Over Your Lender

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:34:09 +0000

Paulding County GA – Thinking about a loan modification. If you can afford to, then order an appraisal. Or, do your own appraisal.

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

Ask your realtor “Hey, what are houses in my area selling for?” I’ve seen people who bought a house for $500,000. Guess what’s it selling for today? $300,000.

If your house has had a 40% drop in value, then you shouldn’t be paying a mortgage payment based on a value of $500,000. You should be paying a mortgage payment based on a value of $300,000. Make sense?

Here’s how to find calculate you should be paying. Google “amortization calculator.” Type in what your home is currently worth. Enter the interest rate you were originally paying.

Look at the example numbers below.

* A $500,000 mortgage at 6% interest is a monthly payment of $2,997.75.

* A $300,000 mortgage at 4.5% interest is a monthly payment of $1,520.06. Remember, interest rates have dropped a bunch lately.

It looks to me like this person is overpaying by $1,477.69 a month. Ouch!

Run the numbers for your house. If your lender forecloses on your house, then it’s not necessarily going to sell for the market value. Most foreclosed houses often sell for 85% to 95% of the value today.

Remember, knowledge is power. When you have this information you have a much better negotiating position with your lender.

You can say “Hey guys, foreclose on my house. But, be prepared to lose a ton of money.” Thinking about a short sale?

Another Example Of Just How Lousy A Paulding County Loan Modification Is For You

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:43:34 +0000

Paulding County GA – Are you pulling your hair out trying to convince your lender to reduce the amount you owe on your home?

People have a hard time grasping how difficult it is to get a loan modification that is fair. These banks just do everything they can to squeeze homeowners for as much money as possible.

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

Here is an example of a homeowner that accepted a forbearance agreement with their lender. The homeowner was desperate to keep his home and just accepted the first offer his lender made.

Today, he is paying $4,400 monthly. The sad thing is that it would cost her about $2,500 a month to rent a comparable home.

He could save $1,900 monthly if he moved out and rented a similar home. But, even worse is how much money this will cost him over the long term.

I project that it will take 19 years for his house to appreciate back to what he originally paid for the house. He will overpay his lender by $433,200 over the next 19 years while him and his family wait for the housing market to recover.

It’s sad, but the only way that I have seen anyone receive a principal reduction is to short sell their house.

You can even buy another house right away if you qualify for the guidelines of certain short sale programs. Thinking about a short sale?

With Home Prices Dropping, In Many Parts of Paulding County It Is Cheaper to Own Than Rent

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:33:17 +0000

Paulding County GA – The good news about the housing bust is that home prices are now more affordable. It is now cheaper to buy versus renting in many areas.

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

“At the peak of the real estate bubble, cities like Miami, Phoenix and Las Vegas were not affordable for many. Now the opposite is true,” said Pete Flint, co-founder and CEO of Trulia.com.

“Home sellers in these hard hit areas are forced to lower their prices to compete with all the foreclosures on the market. As a result , these unattainable markets are so affordable it makes better financial sense to buy than rent.”

Here is how to calculate whether it will be cheaper for you to buy versus rent.

First, add up what you are paying for rent now. Add together your rent payment and what you pay for renter’s insurance. That is the monthly cost of renting.

Now, let’s add up the cost of home ownership. First, you have the monthly mortgage payment. Add in Home Insurance, Property Taxes, and any Homeowner’s Association Fees.

Now, subtract out the tax savings. To calculate that, take what you will be paying monthly for interest and property taxes. Multiply that by your combined state and federal tax rate.

That is your projected tax savings. Now you have the cost of homeownership and renting side by side to compare. This is good news if you are a home owner. Why? It means that we are closer to a real estate recovery.

Are you or someone you know looking to purchase a home? I will work to help you get the best deal. Send me an e-mail for a list of the 10 best deals in today’s market.

Step Two To Get A Paulding County Short Sale Approved In 90 Days Or Less

admin — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 04:59:11 +0000

Paulding County GA – We are explaining the steps to approving a short sale in 90 days or less.

Today, we’re going to explain Step 2: Influence the BPO. A BPO is a bank’s version of an appraisal. They use that property valuation to make a decision to approve or deny a short sale offer.

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

Many BPOs are inaccurate. As a result, many short sales are unnecessarily rejected. The banks lose even more money when they property sells later on.

The problem is that the people doing the BPOs are rushing thru them. They are visiting 100 or more homes per month and preparing an in depth property evaluation on each one.

That isn’t always enough time to properly evaluate each property. As a result, many BPOs are inaccurate. An inaccurate BPO often leads to a failed short sale. Let me explain why.

If a BPO says that a home is worth $250,000, but the actual value is only $220,000, then the short sale will probably be turned down. You the homeowner risks losing your home to foreclosure.

In one example, the people doing BPOs on a short sale consistently stated that the property was worth $325,000 to $375,000.

Over the course of a year of being on the market, the most a buyer offered to pay was $275,000. But, the bank wouldn’t accept their offer because they thought the house was being sold for less than it was worth.

The market continued to decline. The realtor continued to market the property. However, now buyers were only offering $230,000. The short sale bank finally accepted that offer.

Inaccurate BPOs cost that lender $45,000. In addition, they put a seller at risk of losing their home to foreclosure. This is why your agent must influence the BPO. Here is how they do that.

Your agent does not allow the person doing the BPO into the house without their permission. They meet the person at the house and tell them why the home is selling for the price it is selling for.

They explain the market conditions and explain what they feel the home is worth. The give that person their own opinion of the value of the home.

Many times that person will use the information they have gathered for them and turn it into the bank. That gives you a much better chance of a successful short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

Step One To Get A Paulding County Short Sale Approved In 90 Days Or Less

admin — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 11:45:39 +0000

Paulding County GA – We’re going to start explaining the steps to approving a short sale in 90 days or less.

Today, we’ll start with Step 1: Find out the type of loan it is. Examples are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, Portfolio, and “Sliced and Diced.”

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

Why does this step matter? First, around 70-80% of all loan held by the large, national lenders are not owned by that lender. They are simply collecting the money for the actual owner of the loan.

The owner of the loan is the actual gentility that makes the decision to approve or deny the short sale. Find out who the actual owner is and you can hold that lender accountable for their actions.

They better do a good job on the short sale. If not, then you report on them to the actual loan owner. In addition, most of these loan owners have specific guidelines on short sales.

Not all lenders follow those guidelines. If they don’t then you can hold them accountable for their actions. Ok, so here is how you find out who owns the loan.

Go thru the steps below.

Search Fannie Mae’s Website: loanlookup.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/

Search Freddie Mac’s Website: ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/

Look at the actual mortgage to see if the loan is an FHA or VA Insured Mortgage.

If the loan is FHA insured, then on the first page of the mortgage, there should be a small square. Inside the square, it will say “FHA Case Number 091-4242640-703.” The case number will be different, but it will still be an FHA loan.

If the loan is VA insured, then on the 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.

If the loan is not any of those, then it is probably then it is most likely a portfolio loan. This means the loan is owned and serviced by the original company that bought it. This is especially true if the current servicer is the same company as the original lender.

There is one final option: “Sliced and Diced.” If a foreclosure has been filed, then look at the Plaintiff’s Name on the Lis Pendens.

If it contains something like “CWALT 2005-06CB”, “BOAALT Series 2005-10″, “Certificates”, or “Trust”; then it is probably “Sliced and Diced.” Thinking about a short sale?

Paulding County Short Sales: How Bankers Lose Money By Being Incompetent On Short Sales

admin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:51:33 +0000

Paulding County GA – A Short Sale can help you avoid owing your bank for losing money when they reject a short sale offer. Here is an example of how a bank lost money by delaying the short sale process.

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

We listed a property as a short sale. The home had been listed with another agent. That agent had actually sold the home for 150k. However, they couldn’t convince the lender to approve the short sale.

As a result the buyer canceled their contract and started looking at other houses. We put the property on the market and received a 140k offer. We submitted it to the bank.

The bank ran their numbers and said that the minimum they would accept was 141k. As a result, the bank lost 9k. Actually, it wasn’t the bank that lost that money.

The loan was owned by a Wall Street Trust. Common owners of these trusts are Pension Funds like CALPERs. So, as a result of this bank’s incompetence a person’s retirement was affected.

This is a good example of why an experienced, competent short sale agent is so important. They can make the difference between success and failure on a short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

How A Paulding County Short Sale Could Help You Avoid Owing Money In The Future

admin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:21:39 +0000

Paulding County GA – A good short sale agent can help you avoid owing thousands of dollars in the future. Why?

Well, the most banks lose money when they reject a short sale. They turn down a sales price of $200,000. They foreclose on the home and put it up for sale.

However, they are not able to get the price they want. The home ends up selling for $150,000. What does that mean to you?

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

First, you probably owe them a lot of money. They may have been losing money on the original short sale. But, now they lost another $50,000. They will probably ask you to repay them for their loss.

Many people are shocked to learn that they are stuck owing tens of thousands of dollars to their bank. A short sale can help reduce the amount you owe. I’ll explain how.

First, most short sales result in the bank forgiving you on the debt. We have seen banks lose hundreds of thousands of dollars and still forgive the debt.

I estimate that over 80% of short sales result in the homeowner result in the debt being forgiven. Contrast this with a foreclosure. In most cases, the bank can chase you down for the money for 7-20 years.

Here is the second way that a short sale can reduce the amount you owe. Most short sales result in the bank result in reduced losses to the bank. I’m sure you are wondering why.

First off, the home usually sells for more money as a short sale than it would as a foreclosure. We have seen $385,000 short sale offers get turned down, only to result in the home selling after foreclosure for $230,000. That’s a huge loss!

Second, a short sale costs the bank less money in property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, lost interest income, etc. Overall, the costs are much less. All these costs add up fast. Thinking about a short sale?
