Each lender has their list of required documentation. Therefore, the first step is to give your Realtor signed authorization to speak with the lender about your account.
Your Realtor will then request a "short sale package" from the lender. Most … (1 comments)

Recently came across this information thought some of you might find it interesting.
The Senate Banking Committee has just passed the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 by an overwhelming and bipartisan vote of 19-2.
Buried in the proposed legislation is something new and revolutionary, an effort to stop mortgage walk-aways.

illinois real estate homes for sale: Naperville Illinois, Plainfield IL. real estate - Will my mortgage insurance cover the difference if I default on my loan - 03/21/08 04:32 PM
If I pay mortgage insurance and default on my loan, why wouldn't that cover the deficiency amount?The mortgage insurance is not there for your protection, just the lender's. If you are paying PMI (private mortgage insurance) it is there to protect the lender in case you default on your loan. You can usually get the PMI removed after you have enough equity in the home. The lenders will not remove this for you. It is your responsibility to get this removed. Afterall, why do you want to be paying PMI if you don't have to. It doesn't protect you, it protects … (0 comments)

What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is a negotiated settlement. This is when the lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed as a payoff on a loan.
Why would my Lender want to allow a Short Sale to help me?

The average savings a lender sees from a short sale property compared with a foreclosure property is $14,000. Not only does the lender receive this savings, they are also paid on the loan 6 months earlier than in … (1 comments)
