Fixing the Economy for Dummies!

RE/MAX Executives — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:50:08 -0500

Okay, I'm obviously no economist but I'm going to go out on a limb and state what seems to me to be a couple of obvious fixes that seem to be necessary to get things going in the right direction again.

When you break down the problem into its simplest form (something I always try to do when problem solving) it seems that there are two large "issues" with the current economy.

1) The mortgage crisis (foreclosures etc.)
2) Lack of Consumer Confidence, which causes economies to become stagnate and in turn creates wide spread problems.

I'm sure that there are other contributing factors to the entire problem such as oil prices etc. However, I think it's fair to say that the mortgage crisis is a HUGE contributing factor, which has caused many of the recent collapses in the banking industry. These collapses have shaken the foundation of the economy and have thus affected consumer confidence causing consumers to retract and change spending habits. That said, I'm going to speak to the mortgage crisis as I see it.

By enlarge; it's pretty safe to say that the mortgage crisis has basically been caused by the fact that many home owners have for various reasons lost their home to foreclosure. It's also pretty safe to say that the vast majority of these foreclosures have been due to an overwhelming majority of these defaults coming from ARM's (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) and the fact that many ARM's came due for adjustment at a time when the market began to cool and housing prices began to decline. This created a situation that did not allow for people to re-finance out of these ARM's as was part of the "original plan" by many who purchased these products. Consequently, when these adjustments came due, people were in a position to not be able to afford the newly adjusted payments pushing them into defaults and ultimately losing the home to the bank. As a REALTOR, I see this problem over and over and over again. I work with banks on behalf of sellers/borrowers to create what they call "work outs" which almost always result in delaying the inevitable and typically still lead to foreclosure. From what I've seen this is largely due to the fact that what most banks call a "work out" is to simply delay the adjustment term of the ARM for typically a year. Guess what? A year is NOT long enough! The housing market is going through a correction and it's going to take longer than a year. It's not rocket science people. Would it not make sense to simply develop a federally regulated set of criteria that borrowers must meet and for those who do, put a freeze to these adjustment periods enabling people to keep the payments they were originally able to afford FIXED and thus maintain the mortgage? I do not suggest that this be done across the board. I'm serious about saying that this is something that people must qualify for i.e. show a financial reason. Does it not make sense that if the majority of the foreclosure crisis is due to ARM's and their adjustments coming due that we curb these adjustments? This would enable the flow of foreclosures to drastically slow down. It would greatly reduce the amount of homes coming on the market, which would reduce inventory and allow the market to more quickly absorb the inventory while DRASTICALLY reducing the bloodshed the mortgage industry is suffering from. Obviously banks would not make the same profits they were planning to make with these ARM's over the long term. However, would this not be a great way to allow banks to stay fluid while seriously addressing the underlying problem AND not making the general public pay for this with $700,000,000,000 BILLION dollars (man that's a lot of zeros!)? This would allow the problem to be addressed by the industry that has helped to create it. Placing accountability squarely on the shoulders of the source. I also feel that a basic penalty should be paid for anyone who qualifies for such a program in the form of a fee, which could be tacked on to the end of the loan typically by extending the term of the loan (2 to 5 years?). After all, there are borrowers and lenders who created this problem. It's not fair to put it all on one side. The main thing is to not change the monthly payment the borrower was able to pay.

The second part of this problem I spoke of in the beginning was related to consumer confidence and how a lack of such can adversely affect the economy both locally and nationally. If my thought process regarding the mortgage industry is correct and something like that was implemented with success, would this not help to shore up consumer confidence? Would this not make people realize that if we work together we can fix things? Would this not allow people to relax some knowing that things are okay and everything will get better resulting in a feeling of greater security? If the answer to this is yes, it's widely known that when this is true, people are quicker to spend money. When that happens the economy grows and chugs along with forward motion. When that happens, businesses continue to grow and move forward. When that happens, the stock market moves forward and even the housing market moves forward. It's like opening up a bottleneck, which allows progress to flow again.

I do understand that this may not be the ultimate fix. But I have to believe that this could be a LARGE contribution to an overall fix. Am I so simple that I cannot see some type of complexity that exists that would prevent this solution from being a HUGE help to the economy? Hopefully I did not make myself look foolish voicing my opinion here. It's just an idea that seems so logical. What do you think?

Rochester, NH Short Sales and writing a hardship letter

RE/MAX Executives — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:49:17 -0500

Having helped many Rochester NH home sellers work through short sales on their homes with their lenders, I know how important it is to understand this complicated process. It can be VERY beneficial to a home owner to sell their home via short sale and thus, avoid foreclosure. One important aspect to a successful short sale is writing a hardship letter. This well written article details all the aspects of writing a hardship letter. As always, I'm more than happy to assist you through any aspect of the home selling or home buying process in Rochester, NH or any other NH Seacoast town. I'm only an e-mail or phone call away.

The Hardship Letter:
Learn More about this Important Piece of the Short Sale Package

By Lauri Waddell

When a short sale is negotiated with the lender, a hardship letter from the homeowner is requested in the short-sale package. There are several purposes for the submission of the hardship letter which we will explore.
The hardship letter is a letter to be written by the homeowner detailing the events that led up to the default and preforeclosure of the mortgage. The letter should detail, in chronological order, the events that caused hardship which ultimately led to financial duress and the default of the loan. As investors, we must always keep in mind that "Life happens to good people." No one intentionally chooses foreclosure. Our job as investors is to assist the homeowner in documenting the events that led to the preforeclosure of their home. We do this with an empathetic and professional approach that gives the homeowner dignity in the process of letting them tell their story.

Many students ask in the Short Sale training if they should write the letter for the borrower. This letter should be written by the homeowner, in their words, and in their handwriting. We may be able to assist the borrower in detailing the events that led to the preforeclosure, but ultimately the letter should be written by the homeowner.

The lender requires the hardship letter to validate its decision in negotiating a short sale or reduced pay off. The charter that governs the incorporation of the lender and its lending practices will govern the decisions made on the short sale of the package.

The hardship letter will also assist the lender in determining if the property qualifies for a tax liability (a 1099 form will be filed against the homeowner if it does qualify). This tax liability may be assessed by the lender on properties that are not owner-occupied or the primary residence of the borrower. The lender has the ability to not file a1099 due to the financial hardship and duress of the borrowers.

In reviewing the hardship letter, the lender is able to assess the borrower's situation and determine if the borrower will be able to reinstate the mortgage payments and/or continue to satisfy the mortgage with regular payments.

The hardship letter should be handwritten or typed by the borrower. If the borrower handwrites the hardship letter, the investor may want to retype the letter and send a typed version along with the handwritten letter. This will ensure the hardship letter is read accurately and easily by the loss-mitigation department. The loss-mitigation department will determine if a short sale is allowed. Making sure the hardship letter is legible and in proper order will facilitate a more timely evaluation and processing of the short sale package.

The hardship letter will be part of the stacking order requested by the lender. All hardships listed in the letter should be fully documented and any verification should be added as an addendum to the package.
For example, if a car accident resulted in injuries that prohibited the borrower from working and ultimately lead to the default, then any documentation related to the car accident and subsequent incapacities should be included in the hardship letter. "See addendum A" in parenthesis is a simple and common method used. Multiple addendums should be added at the back of the package under a tab listed "Addendums." For example, addendum A might be a copy of the accident report, addendum B may be a copy of the emergency room visit after the accident, addendum C may be a doctor's report, and addendum D may be a copy of the employer's notification of laying off the borrower. The hardship should be explained in detail, in chronological order, and with proof of the events added as specific labeled addendums to the Addendum section.

The hardship letter should be factual and accurate without exaggeration or emotional influence. The short sale package should be presented in a professional manner. Accurate and thorough documentation is important to create a professional, first-class hardship letter that stands out among the rest.
The hardship letter is an important piece of the short-sale package. Your job, as the REALTOR, is to assist the homeowner in documenting the hardships in a factual and professional manner. Do not write the letter for the homeowner. Offer your assistance in detailing the chronology of events as well as assisting the homeowner in gathering the documents or items that will verify the hardships. A strong, professionally documented hardship letter is a key component of the lender's decision to negotiate a successful short sale.

2008 Hay Day Celebration in Farmington, NH

RE/MAX Executives — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:20:35 -0500

Hay day in Farmington NH

In times of yesteryear, many farming communities would gather together and help one another to harvest the various crops grown in the community. This was long hard work that was commonly done by all members of the family, the old fashioned way. Often times at the end of the harvest, people would gather together and have a celebration to express gratitude toward one another and simply to celebrate the "fruits" of their labor. Sometimes this was called harvest day. In Farmington, NH we celebrate Hay Day. Having been a resident of Farmington for over 5 years now, I've been able to enjoy several of these events and must say that although they are not a result of celebrating a harvest, they are still very much a celebration of community. It's nice to go out and see the local folks who make up the community. Rub elbows, smile and even play an old fashioned game or two. Sure, you can do the more modern carnival like games, but some of the things I think are most fun are things like the hay bail toss (my favorite), Horse Shoe Tournament or best dressed Farmer contest. You know, the things you don't see or do every day; things that are not at "regular" carnivals. Heck, how can we forget the bed race? When they shut down Central Ave and people line the town square to watch teams race beds on wheels right through the center of town. This is an entire weekend event starting at 5:00pm on Friday 8/22/2008 and ending at noon on Sunday 8/24/2008 culminated with Fireworks on Saturday evening (the overwhelming crowd favorite).

Stepping back in time at Calef's Country Store in Barrington, NH

RE/MAX Executives — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:30:14 -0500

Calef's Country Store is situated smack dab in the heart of Barrington, NH. Visiting Calef's is like stepping back in time. Calef's is a quintessential New England country store. Many years have come and gone since it opened but not too much has changed since it was established in 1869. Here you will find Good people, good service and even better food! Everything from home made breads to several cheeses, various baked goodies, jams, jellies & relishes etc. There is even old-fashioned penny candy. Just like the old days, but it's not a penny any more. ;-) Grab the tongs and reach into the pickle barrel for a HUGE dill pickle or stop by the deli and order your favorite special sandwich made with home made bread. Personally, I like the "Joel". When visiting, don't forget to stop in the country gift shop right next door and pick up something for a loved one.
