rocklin short sale specialist: Rocklin Short Sale Company | Mark Peek | The HUD-1 is Important in Rocklin Short Sales - 03/09/11 01:25 PM
Rocklin Short Sale Company – A Rocklin Short Sale Specialist must fully understand the HUD-1. The HUD-1 is a report regulated by HUD (The Department of Housing & Urban Development). A HUD-1 breaks down all the projected closing costs so the lender can see what they will net. 
Most agents are familiar with a HUD-1. They see them at the closing of every home they sell. But, seeing a HUD-1 within the Rocklin Short Sale Process is much different  than seeing it during a traditional closing.
If the agent and the escrow officer incorrectly input information that helps create the HUD-1, then it puts the short sale transaction in jeopardy.  If unexpected … (0 comments)

rocklin short sale specialist: Rocklin Short Sale Agent - The BPO Value Can Make or Break Your Short Sale | Mark Peek - 03/08/11 12:55 PM
Rocklin Short Sale Agent – As an experienced Rocklin Short Sale Specialist,  I can tell you there are two things you must understand if you are doing Rocklin Short Sales. They are BPO's and HUD-1's. Today I'll discuss BPO's.

If the agent has given a value of 300k, then a short sale lender will be … (2 comments)

That means that a homeowner may live rent free for even longer than 492 days. How long could they potentially live rent free?

rocklin short sale specialist: Rocklin Short Sale - Homeowner Takes on Bank And Wins! - 03/08/11 01:25 AM
 
Rocklin Short Sale – According to the Philadelphia Inquirer [1], Patrick Rodgers of West Philadelphia was able to "file a foreclosure action against Wells Fargo.
I bet there are a lot of homeowners facing foreclosure that would love to do the same thing. You work so hard to negotiate a reasonable loan modification in order to keep your home.
But, no one at the bank seems to care. It seems the big banks  live in a protective bubble. They can foreclose on paid off homes and face no consequences.
If the average American did that, they would probably face jail time. … (2 comments)

rocklin short sale specialist: Rocklin Short Sale Specialist | Why A Rocklin Short Sale Makes Sense? - 03/06/11 02:49 AM
 
Rocklin Short Sale Specialist | Why A Rocklin Short Sale Makes Sense?– Many Rocklin homeowners bought their home at the peak of the market in 2005. In the hardest hit areas, they paid $500,000 for homes that are selling for $250,000 (or even less.)
Their Rocklin home is costing them $4,000 a month. (The total after paying property taxes and insurance.) Renters have moved into the neighborhood and are paying less than $2,000 to rent a comparable home. New home buyers are paying even less.
Does this sound fair?  Should these homeowners short sale their Rocklin homes and save over $2,000 a month?
