I'm being informed from a National Real Estate Training Institution on Short Sales about the following news. I'm certainly agreeing that this is a real WOW.  The IRS issued a news release on Sept 17, 2007 in an attempt to clarify the 1099-C in regards to foreclosures.
This will show you how the IRS determines your potential liability in a short sale or a foreclosure.

We are really going to be feeling the Punch of adjusting ARMS in the months ahead. - 09/17/07 03:41 PM
I spoke with a client today who's mortgage is adjusting in October by a huge amount. I about fell off my chair! How could these type of mortgages be offered to homeowners whose future income would not guarantee supporting such an increase in a mortgage payment? Shouldn't these future rate increases been approved based on the homeowners original income at time of original application? This is a homeowner who has been making his payments on time to date yet he has not acquired any equity in his home so he won't qualify for President Bush's plan. We are only seeing the tip … (6 comments)
