Big Banks Accused of Short Sale Fraud
Published: Friday, 15 Jan 2010 | 12:13 PM ET Text Size By: Diana OlickCNBC Real Estate Reporter
I personally heard a recording of a phone conversation between a short sale real estate agent and a second lien lender, during which the second lien lender clearly asked for cash outside of the settlement and threatened to kill the deal without it.
The real estate agent was rightly concerned and reluctant (the recording was given to me by Brandt who got it from the agent. The agent would provide no information on the … (1 comments)

U.S. Treasury set to finalize home "short sales" plan By Al Yoon Al Yoon - Fri Oct 2, 7:13 pm ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury will soon finalize a plan to expand its incentives for mortgage companies to include "short sales" as a way to stem a rising tide of foreclosures, according to a Treasury spokeswoman.
"Short sales," or sales of homes for less than the balance on existing mortgages, are seen as a key way to supplement other efforts such as loan modifications to steady housing. Unlike most modifications, "short sales" eliminate the problem of negative equity that has become a … (0 comments)

short sale: Short Sales! They're a ton of work, you get everything in and then the bank won't cooperate! - 08/06/09 10:35 AM
I've been working this short sale. My seller has 6 kids, has not made a payment since April of 08 and I assembled the short sale package, HUD1 and get it over to the bank. The property has three liens, tax lien, mechanics lien and HOA lien. The HUD inclorporates all of this. The bank send short sale approval but will not pay off the liens. Now what sense does that make? The tax lien has priority over the others and will end up getting paid whether or not they have to foreclose. Wouldn't it be a lot easier for the … (4 comments)

short sale: The Truth Behind 7 Short-Sales Myths - 06/16/09 10:39 AM
This is a good reason to use a CDPE Certified listing agent!
Short sales can be difficult. They occur when a home's sales value is less than what the owner owes on the loan for the property. Lenders agree to discount the existing loan balance in return for the sales proceeds; this helps them mitigate larger potential losses on the property.
Knowing some basics about the process - and what common myths to discredit - can help. Here is a look at some of those myths and proof that they aren't necessarily true.
Myth No. 1: Short sales are impossible and … (0 comments)

Time to Appeal That Tax Bill?If home price drops, so should property taxes. Home owners might be smart to initiate a property tax appeal. By John Garippa | November 2008
In these uncertain times, many home owners have had to face the fact that the current market value of their homes is less than they once thought.
Yet, most of these home owners continue to pay property taxes based on that higher value.
Higher taxes may also make a property less appealing and affordable to buyers, since higher taxes will increase their overall costs, at least until the … (0 comments)

Not only could this be a good time to by a house, but it may be the best time in years. For some reason, home buyers seem most interested when prices are high. But just as we all like to see a "20% off" sale on our favorite consumer items or groceries, we should be more interested in buying a house when they are selling cheap. That's right now.
Of course, if you already have a home you might hesitate to move up to a larger one now. Given the number of people in over their heads on their mortgages, it … (0 comments)
