Will I Still Have To Pay Property Taxes If I Do A Moorpark Short Sale?

Ventura County CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Paul. Here is Paul's Question.

"I am thinking about a short sale, but I am behind on my property taxes. Will I still have to pay them if I short sale my home? Max."

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to Paul's Question: In most cases your lender will pay those property taxes. Property taxes are a first priority lien on a property.

That means that if a property is foreclosed upon, then they still have to be paid. They don’t go away for any reason.

This is also why most lenders want to charge you monthly and then pay the property taxes themselves. They know that the taxes are a big bill that only comes once a year.

Not everyone can afford that big bill. Because your lender knows they will still have to pay the taxes after a foreclosure, they are willing to pay them during a short sale.

A foreclosure is a liquidation of the property to simply get what they can and move on. A short sale has been proven to net them more money than a foreclosure.

So if they are liquidating the property, why net more money from the sale with a short sale and avoid a foreclosure? That’s why they will pay the taxes when you short sale.

Every short sale the Stop Foreclosure Institute has sold resulted in the lender paying the property taxes that were owed. In some cases they paid 2-3 years of property taxes. Thinking about a short sale?

Moorpark Short Sales: I Have Mortgage Insurance. Won't That Cover The Deficiency?

Ventura County CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Max. Here is Max's Question.

"If I pay mortgage insurance and default on my loan, why wouldn’t that cover the deficiency amount? Max."

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to Max's Question: Yes, the Mortgage Insurance should pay your lender for any loss. So that reduces the amount that your lender will lose on the short sale.

There are a couple of problems. Many Mortgage Insurance Companies have gone bankrupt. They can't pay on their claims.

In this situation your lender may or may not pursue you for the loss.

(I've written extensively on deficiencies on other blog posts. In 60-75% of all short sales, you won't owe a deficiency. E-mail me at cjohnson@prucalhomes.com and I can research your specific situation.)

The other problem is that many Mortgage Insurance Companies have terms written into the mortgage that they can pursue you for the loss.

They are more aggressive with trying to be repaid. In the few short sales we have negotiated and the lender asked for a promissory note, the person requesting it usually was the Mortgage Insurance Company.

But, they only ask for a promissory note about half the time. In addition, the promissory notes are usually for an amount lower than the loss.

For example on one short sale, the loss was around $59,000. The seller agreed to a promissory note of $10,000 to be repaid over the next 10 years with Zero Interest. Their Monthly Payment was $83.33.

We won't know if they will ask for a promissory note until the short sale is in progress. If you know you have Mortgage Insurance, then you need to find and aggressive short sale agent.

They will work to get an promissory note or deficiency waived. Thinking about a short sale?

How Much Do You Charge For A Short Sale in Moorpark?

Ventura County CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Tawny. Here is Tawny's Question.

"I have not been late on any payments but my income will be changing dramatically towards the end of the summer. What is your exact service and what are the fees involved? I do not have any cash in savings and pretty much live paycheck to paycheck. Tawny."

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

Here is the answer to Tawny's Question: A Short Sale doesn't cost the homeowner any money. All of the costs are paid for by the homeowner's lender.

Now, I'm sure you are asking, "The bank is losing money on the short sale. They wouldn't want to have to pay to sell the property."

Many people also think this. After all, it makes sense logically. But, it's actually not the case.

Banks have been lending money for centuries. They have learned from past experience that a short sale is a good way to cut their losses.

In fact, a recent study by the Boston Consulting Group actually showed that a short sale reduced a lender's losses by 20%, compared to a foreclosure.

After a lender forecloses on a property they put it up for sale. They have to hire and pay a real estate agent and all the other related costs.

Why not pay those costs on a short sale and cut their losses by 20%? It's a good business decision. And that's why a short sale doesn't cost the homeowner anything.

Your lender covers all the cost including the real estate agent, title fees, and other closing costs. Thinking about a short sale?

What you can expect during and after the Moorpark Short Sale Process

Ventura County CA – Here are a few things you should not be surprised to see crop up during the short sale process.

Unscruplous Debt Collection Tactics. If you are facing financial hardship, then paying credit cards and other unsecured debts is your lowest priority. An unsecured debt is a debt where they can’t take away your car or house. A secured debt has something as collateral, such as your car, house, or anything else of value.

The most commons unsecured debt is a credit card. When you stop paying them, they will call you nonstop. The reason is because they don’t have any other way to collect from you.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

They can’t come get your car or take your house. So, they make up for that by blowing up your phone with harassing calls. In addition, they use deceptive tricks to get you to pay them.

For example, there are Federal Laws that regulate what they can do or say. They aren’t allowed to threaten to sue you, but then not follow thru and actually file suit.

To get around this rule, they will use language that sounds legal, but isn’t. In one situation, a debt collector in Buffalo, New York named their firm Hoffman, Weinberg & O’Brien to make it sound like they were a law firm.

They would then leave messages on people’s answering machines. They would say they were with the office of Hoffman, Weinberg & O’Brien and then say they may resort to future legal action. In addition, they would reference case number 8306042.

If you didn’t know any better, you would think the case number was for an actual lawsuit against you. That is scary. Don’t you agree?

Most credit card accounts never sue (despite the constant threats.) Even when they do sue and get a judgment, they rarely ever attempt to garnish wages.

A lot of judgments expire without getting paid. But, a lot of them get paid off when a person’s income increases, or that person sells a valuable asset such as a house.

It might seem like the process takes a long time. Some short sales only take a few months. Before you know it you are moving out of your house and onto the next place.

However, some short sales will take a lot longer. We have some files that we have been working on for a year or even longer.

It’s not the end of the world. Just stay put and keep on saving the money you would be using for rent. In most cases the short sale will eventually be approved and you can move on with your life.

Your lender may attempt to collect money from you when they aren’t legally entitled to do so. We have heard several stories of some lenders asking for a promissory note when the state the property was in did not allow the lender to pursue the homeowner after a short sale.

The stories in question were for short sales of properties in California and Washington. Don’t sign a promissory note a lender sends you after a short sale when you are in a non-recourse state.

Talk to a lawyer to see if you are obligated to repay the debt. You could probably get out of repaying it if you tried. Thinking about a short sale?

Moorpark Short Sales: How To Convince A Lender To Waive A Promissory Note

Ventura County CA – Some lenders are very stubborn about collecting what they feel they are “rightfully owed.”

These lenders are usually a lender that you originally got the loan from. A good example is a credit union loan, or a small community bank.

Another common type is loans that were granted with Private Mortgage Insurance. In our experience, these companies are very demanding.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

They negotiate hard and say they will not approve a short sale without a promissory. However, that is not always the case.

You can often convince them to waive the deficiency if you do the following.

1. Prove to them that you don’t have any assets or any extra monthly income.

2. Prove that your home is worth what the buyer is offering on the short sale. This is your agent’s job to do. Your agent will put together an agent’s version of an appraisal.

This will include comparable sales and what your property is worth, based on those comparable sales. Your agent will show them that they are better off accepting the short sale.

If you have presented your case well and the lender buys it, then they will usually waive the deficiency or promissory note and accept what they can get. After all, something is better than nothing. Make sense?

Another option is to hire a good lawyer to negotiate for you. Look for a lawyer with experience in bankruptcy.

They can use the threat of bankruptcy to convince the lender to approve the short sale with the deficiency waived. Bankruptcy is very bad for creditors.

If you declare bankruptcy, then it could take 12-18 months before the lender can sell the house. Their right to collect from you would be wiped out in bankruptcy.

A short sale where they get their money today is a much better option. That’s why they’ll usually take that option when threatened with bankruptcy. Thinking about a short sale?

The Nuclear Option for Moorpark Short Sales

Ventura County CA – The nuclear option is what you do when your lender demands a promissory note or they will not approve the short sale.

A promissory note is not the end of the world. It will take a lot of work on their end to collect from you.

If the lender forces you to sign a promissory note, then sign it and never make a payment. Here is what we recommend that you do to avoid paying the promissory note.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

It takes time for the lender to move your file out of the collections system. This will last for anywhere from 1 month to 6 months.

The rest of this post is simply my opinion. It is not legal advice. I am just telling you what I would do if I was in this situation.

Simply tell the debt collectors that you are trying to avoid bankruptcy. Do not give them any more information! Don’t dispute that you owe them money.

And definitely don’t agree to pay them anything, or tell them that you might be able to pay them. In my opinion, you are better off just hanging up on any collector that calls you.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. This is why you are better off not saying anything. After a while the phone calls and mail will stop. Hopefully you will never hear from your lender again.

In order for the lender to get you to pay, they will have to garnish your wages or your bank account.

That isn’t easy to do. There are many legal defenses you can use to stop them from garnishing your wages. One of our short sale customers had an unpaid credit card that was trying to garnish her wages.

Here is what she told me that she did to stop the garnishment. She was in Florida and Florida law stipulates that if someone has children living in their home, then a creditor cannot garnish their wages.

She had a daughter that lived with her, found the rule, and stopped the garnishment. There are many other strategies you can use to stop garnishments. Talk to a lawyer as they will know the different ways you can stop a garnishment under your state’s laws.

Now for one last strategy to stop a garnishment: Protesting. Yes, that’s right. Stand out in front of the local bank branch. Hold up a sign telling your story. Just make sure your sign appeals to most people driving past.

In most cases, the lender will stop the garnishment. They don’t want the bad publicity. I know someone who threatened a large national bank with protests.

A Vice President of the bank called them a few days later and resolved the situation. This is all based on one simple thing. A bully always picks on the weaker victims.

Sure they will beat up on little kids. But, there is always one little kid who fights like crazy. They use whatever they can to defend themselves against the bully.

In the fight the bully gets hurt. Maybe not bad, but they get hurt nonetheless. Next time they are looking for a victim are they going to beat up on that little kid?

No. They’ll find another victim who won’t put up a fight. Very few people fight. They just pay the lender. That’s why the few people that do fight get preferential treatment.
