eglin hap pcs: Did You Get a HAP Bill for Overpayment after Closing? - 04/09/12 02:04 PM

Did you have an Eglin Air Force Base HAP sale in the past few years?  If so, be aware that they are auditing files and you might actually receive a bill if they claim you were overpaid.  One of my Fort Walton Beach HAP sellers received just such a letter with a bill for almost $5000.  They claim he was accidentally overpaid for his sale over two years ago.

eglin hap pcs: Eglin HAP Question - Why Am I Bringing Money to Closing? - 01/19/12 05:33 PM

 One of the biggest sources of confusion I find with Eglin Air Force Base HAP sales from the seller comes at closing.  First, if you don't know what HAP is - it's the Homeowner Assistance Program from the Department of Defense.  It's designed to help military members who have permanent change of station orders (PCS), and are "upside down" in their home values, i.e. owe more on their mortgages than their property's market value. HAP will pay the mortgage deficit under certain circumstances, which helps the service member avoid the credit impact of short sale or foreclosure due to their mandatory … (4 comments)

If you are an Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field or Whiting Field airman, have PCS orders and need to sell your home, you may have heard of HAP.
