short sale: When to Consider a Short Sale - 11/16/10 12:30 PM
When to consider a Short Sale?
When is the best time to consider a short sale?
Deciding to Short Sale your property is usually considered an option after homeowners have exhausted their savings, spent weeks or months trying to get a loan modification and after a Notice of Trustees Sale (in Clark County) has been filed. I meet people weekly who are at the end of their available options in a foreclosure action and are just beginning the short sale process 30 to 60 days in advance of a foreclosure sale. Reviewing their history gives me the opportunity to consider what … (0 comments)

Short Sale FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a short sale?
“Short sale” was an unfamiliar term until the recent real estate and mortgage crisis created the situation where the value of millions of properties in the United States were worth significantly less in value than the mortgages that secured them.
During the late 1990s until early 2007, properties appreciated unrealistically and lenders offered loan products such as negative amortization loans, 95% financing, adjustable rate mortgages, stated income loans, and other products that created an atmosphere where the following occurred:

short sale: THE TRUTH ABOUT LOAN MODS - 05/04/09 10:02 AM
Just because you want a Loan Modification, doesn't mean you will QUALIFY for one. Here is the truth, no one seems to want to hear it, but here it is: YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE AN INCOME THAT SUPPORTS AND QUALIFIES YOU FOR THE LOAN!The loan modification has to work for the lender, too. Why on earth would any bank make a bad loan now, especially now?

short sale: Are Agents Unknowingly Leading Sellers to Foreclosure? - 02/24/09 07:03 PM
Saving the seller from foreclosure may mean saving the seller from the wrong agent. I work with a group of investors that are making offers on pre-foreclosure properties, and negotiating short sales. Once they acquire a property, they do all they can to sell it for a profit as soon as possible.

short sale: The Short Sale Tsunami is Headed Our Way - 01/17/09 05:25 PM
The wave has only just begun.  Option ARMs are still very toxic to the real estate market today.  Delinquencies are rising rapidly.  HOPE Now data from early January 2009 revealed that delinquencies rose to a new record, 4.9%.
