Moorpark, Ventura County Short Sales: How Do I Get Back On My Feet After A Short Sale?

0

Moorpark, Ventura County CA – It is very stressful to be upside down and facing foreclosure. You are worrying about everything. You find yourself thinking, “When is the bank going to kick me out?
“How will I pay back that huge debt?” “When will I ever be able to stop worrying about money?”
“I remember when I did not worry about money. How did I do that?” All those thoughts and more run through your head.

A short sale helps you stop worrying. Most people find a place to rent where they can afford the monthly payment. Or they move in with family. It removes all the uncertainty and worry about when they have to move. They are one step closer to sanity!
They are happy to discover that a short sale erases the debt, at least in most cases. They were thinking about how hard it was going to be to pay back the $100,000 the bank lost. Now they don’t have to worry about that anymore.
They are able to do better at work. Why? Because they aren’t stressed out at home anymore. They often get a raise or find a way to make extra money on the side.
After several months, they discover they are no longer worrying about money. They have their life back. The fights over money stop. They have grown accustomed to their new life.
Best of all they start enjoying life again. They realize that money isn’t everything. What’s more important is their life and family. Sure the family had problems during the hard time.
But, they are still together after it all. And the hard times have caused them to realize that it wasn’t such a big deal. They can repair their credit and buy another house in the future. More importantly they can enjoy their life together as a family.

Ventura County, CA. Former Home Owners Reclaim Foreclosed Property

Ventura County, CA. Former Home Owners Reclaim Foreclosed Property
One possible outcome of the foreclosure crisis could be a fight between former owners of foreclosed homes and lenders.

An example of what might become a larger trend happened in Simi Valley, California, where a couple and their nine children used a crowbar to break into their former home. Their lawyer recommended that they take this step, according to AOL’s HousingWatch.com

The former owners, Jim and Danielle Earl, say they were trying to catch up with their payments when the lender sold the property to Conejo Capital Partners.

The Earls say it’s unclear what entity owns the loan. Housing Watch says the original lender was Washington Mutual, which became JPMorgan Chase. The Earls say that Chase failed to properly assume the loan and didn’t have the right to sell it, nor could Conejo Capital Partners legally sell it.

The Earls’ attorney, Michael Pines, told the Ventura newspaper, “They may claim we’re violating the law. We’re claiming they violated the law. Typically the authorities will say this is a civil dispute, but the question is, who owns the home? Because whoever doesn’t is trespassing.”

Banks Pressured to Fix Foreclosure Problems

Banks are under increasing pressure to fix the foreclosure mess as analysts predict dire consequences and investors sell off bank stocks.

“The nation has been in denial about the scope of the problem, and it’s now just being revealed,” says Janet Tavakoli, founder of Tavakoli Structured Finance Inc., a financial consulting firm. “This is a huge crisis for our country.”

Harvard Law School visiting professor Katherine Porter, who investigated foreclosures in 2007, says lenders should agree to modify loans and avoid lawsuits. “From the beginning, mass modifications would have been better and I still think they’d be cost-saving,” she says.

Principal reductions could lead to “huge losses” for banks, says James Ellman, president of hedge fund Seacliff Capital. “You could potentially be talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in losses.”

Moorpark, Ventura County Short Sale Realtor Advice: Some Agents Hate Short Sales

Ventura County CA – I recently met a realtor in a another town. “I hate short sales”, she told me. “They are so frustrating. They take forever. Most of mine have dragged out for 9-12 months. The short sale lenders are so tough to work with.”

The closest comparison I can think of is learning to ride a bike. Remember the first time you tried to ride a bike and you crashed and fell off? You felt like you would never be able to ride a bike. Maybe you told your mother, “I’m just not as smart as Timmy. He knows how to ride a bike.”

Apparently this agent does not specialize in short sales. Neither do a lot of the other agents that complain about them.

These agents openly admit they hate short sales. They say stuff like, “Maybe lenders worry about what would happen if they approved too many short sales.” This is a huge misconception.

Most loans are not owned by the lenders or banks who hold them. As an example, Bank of America does not own 80% of the loans they process.

I heard a story about a large national lender that processes short sales. They have more and more short sale files coming in every month. Do they hire on more people to handle the files?

No. Instead they hire on more people to answer the phone and forbid the people who negotiate the files (called Loss Mitigators) from returning calls. Here is the real reason short sales are so frustrating. The lenders don’t want to hire on more staff to process them.

Loss Mitigation is a specialized job. It isn’t simple. The decisions to approve or deny a short sale offer are not cut and dry. They are legally required to follow the rules laid out by the owner of the loan.
An experienced loss mitigator probably gets paid 2-3 times more than a person that answers the phone. Just like a loss mitigator needs to know what they are doing; the person negotiating a short sale with a lender needs to as well.

The agents that hate short sales haven’t taken the time to learn how they work. They don’t know who owns the loan, or their short sale requirements.

(This is all readily available information for anyone who has an internet connection.) Maybe these agents have chosen to specialize in other area of the real estate business, such as new construction or first time buyers.
Or they specialize in commercial property. All of a sudden they want to short sale your house. Where does that put your odds of a successful short sale?

I agree that short sales can be frustrating. But, most short sales do not take 9-12 months when you follow the proper procedures. Since I know how to find the owner of the loan, I am ahead of ninety percent of all the other agents out there.

Ventura County Short Sale Realtor Advice: I’ve heard banks won’t do short sales. Is that true? Moorpark, Ventura County, CA.

Ventura County CA – I recently talked to a homeowner in foreclosure. She had heard of the short sale option. But, someone had told her that short sales are tough.

They told her, “Banks never accept short sale offers. You are wasting your time if you try one.” As a result, she never researched her options and lost her home to foreclosure.

Many agents close short sales day in and day out. Short Sales are a specialized endeavor. They are much more complicated than your average real estate transaction.

The closest comparison I can think of is learning to ride a bike. Remember the first time you tried to ride a bike and you crashed and fell off? You felt like you would never be able to ride a bike. Maybe you told your mother, “I’m just not as smart as Timmy. He knows how to ride a bike.”

But, then you try it again. This time you make it a few feet before crashing. By the end of the day you are riding your bike around. Turns out Timmy wasn’t so smart after all.

Short sales are like that. The first one is very frustrating. You find yourself saying, “I just don’t know what these banks want. This is crazy.” But, the next few are a lot easier.

Soon you understand the process. And you realize that short sales are just like anything else in life. Once you figure out how the system works, then it becomes easy.

You learn what words like BPO, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, deficiency, servicer, sliced and diced, and delegated mean. Pretty soon you can negotiate a short sale with confidence.

Are you are looking to short sell your house? Experience and persistence are the keys to short sale success. Experience because you have learned what to do. Persistence to keep on going when others would quit.
Not all short sale offers get approved the first time. After that first offer gets turned down, you now know what the lender wants. This makes it easy to get the next short sale offer accepted.

Moorpark, Ventura County Short Sales: Bank of America forecloses on paid off house

0

Moorpark, Ventura County CA – According to a story in the Sun Sentinel [1], Bank of America foreclosed on a paid off house. Here is an excerpt from the story.

“ When Jason Grodensky bought his modest Fort Lauderdale home in December, he paid cash. But seven months later, he was surprised to learn that Bank of America had foreclosed on the house, even though Grodensky did not have a mortgage.

Grodensky knew nothing about the foreclosure until July, when he learned that the title to his home had been transferred to a government-backed lender. “I feel like I’m hanging in the wind and I’m scared to death,” said Grodensky. “How did some attorney put through a foreclosure illegally?”
Court records show Countrywide Home Loans filed a foreclosure case in Broward County civil court against the former owner of the home on Southwest 14th Street in 2008. Bank of America took over Countrywide at the end of that year.

The following year, Grodensky and his father Steven bought the house for cash as an investment property. Jason Grodensky’s brother Kenny Sloan lives in the house now. They negotiated a short sale, which means the lender agreed to accept less than the mortgage amount. Documents show the sale proceeds were wired to Bank of America. The sale was recorded in December 2009 at the Broward County Property Appraiser’s Office.

But in court, the foreclosure case continued, the records show. There was a motion to dismiss the case in July, followed the next day by a motion to re-open it. A court-ordered foreclosure sale took place July 15. The property appraiser’s office recorded the transfer of the title to Fannie Mae the same day.”

As you can see, Bank of America is very disorganized. Many agents claim they are the worst lender to do short sales with. Make sure you hire an experienced short sale agent if you plan on short selling your house and your loan is with Bank of America.

Short sales happen with them every day. But, their short sales are more difficult and usually take more time.

Moorpark, Ventura County, CA.  States Plan to Investigate Mortgage Servicers
A coalition of attorneys general from as many as 40 states is expected to announce Wednesday the launch of a joint investigation of the mortgage-servicing industry.

The attorneys general say they intend to first determine the scale of the problem and correct the issues. Several of them also have said that they believe one of the results of the investigation could be an agreement that forces lenders and servicers to make mass loan modifications or adopt principal forgiveness plans.

Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray says, “I think the mortgage-servicing firms need to understand that they face real exposure now, and they would be well advised to take this very seriously, to clean this up by doing loan workouts to keep people in their homes, which up till now they’ve just paid lip-service to.”

Foreclosure Moratorium: Latest in the Debate: Click to Play Video
or copy and paste http://www.thinkbigworksmall.com/mypage/archive/1/53928

The Politics of Foreclosure, Wall Street Journal, Oct. 10, 2010. The foreclosure problem isn’t about whether some home owners had their homes wrongly foreclosed upon (there’s been no evidence of that to date) but to what extent banks were taking short cuts on foreclosure procedures in states requiring judicial foreclosures. Banks need to conduct their reviews and correct their processing mistakes, but talk in Congress about imposing a national foreclosure moratorium would unnecessarily disrupt the housing market at a time when it needs to find its bottom and move on.

Foreclosure Freeze Could Undermine Housing Market, Associated Press, Oct. 11, 2010. Widely watched housing economists Karl Case of Wellesey and Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics were starting to become relatively upbeat about the housing market before the foreclosure processing problems came to light. Now both of them are concerned that the problem, and the effort to fix it, could set back the recovery. “Anything that slows the foreclosure process is a bad thing,” says Case. Banks say the issue isn’t whether the mortgages should have been foreclosed upon but about the procedures they used, because most people who were foreclosed upon were behind on their payments.

Will my neighbors find out that I am short selling my house?

Moorpark, Ventura County CA – Many of the people we help are concerned that their neighbors will find out about the short sale. No one wants their dirty laundry put out for the entire neighborhood to see.

Here is what we do when a customer has a concern with that. First, we will make sure that everything your neighbors see does not say “short sale” on it. The sign will look like all the other for sale signs in town.
Your neighbors will simply think that you are selling your house. The for sale sign will not say “foreclosure” on it. Neither will any real estate website say “short sale” or “foreclosure” on it.

We won’t discuss it with the neighbors or tell them what is happening. After all, your privacy is important to us. We know this because of our work with other families facing financial difficulty.
With a short sale, you will be able to get your life back on track. Many people are relieved after the process is complete. They no longer have to live their life in uncertainty.

They can stop thinking about, “When is the sheriff going to come and kick me out”, or “Will I ever be able to buy another home.” They can stop worrying about how to pay back the money for their upside down house.”

Fortunately all of those are taken care of with a short sale. After a short sale you are eligible to buy another home in as little as 2 years. In addition, in most cases all of the upside down debt will be wiped out.
The lenders know people do not short sale unless they are having financial problems. They are willing to forgive the debt because a short sale reduces their losses.

The short sale process usually takes 3-6 months to complete. We will update you on when you need to move. Once we let you know that the short sale has been approved, you will have about 30-45 days to move to a new place.

If you have questions about the short sale process, then please send me an e-mail at cjohnson@prucalhomes.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail. If you prefer, then you can call me at 805-208-0823.
