florida: Short sale sellers need to close in 2012! - 02/14/12 10:09 AM
WASHINGTON – Feb. 3, 2012 – If a bank writes off debt in a short sale, it’s a “taxable event,” and the lender tells the Internal Revenue Service about the deal by submitting a “Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt” at the end of the year. Home sellers must acknowledge the amount when they fill out their federal taxes. Through Dec. 31, 2012, however, the federal government forgives any tax liability associated with forgiveness of a mortgage loan.“In general, homeowners believe the government will extend this tax provision,” says San Diego Realtor Joy Bender. “However, as evidenced by the First Time Homebuyer … (1 comments)

florida: Fannie Mae Extends Mortgage Relief for Unemployed Borrowers - 01/17/12 12:41 PM
Fannie Mae issued new guidelines to its servicers Wednesday, introducing an unemployment forbearance program which provides servicers the flexibility to assist borrowers who have a financial hardship due to job loss, including those facing imminent default.
With unemployment forbearance, the servicer reduces or suspends monthly payments for a specified period for a borrower who is unemployed.
With the new guidelines, the servicer can approve an unemployment forbearance term of six months without obtaining Fannie Mae’s approval, provided that all borrower eligibility requirements are met.
If during the final month of the initial unemployment forbearance period, the borrower remains unemployed, the servicer must determine … (0 comments)
