long realty: A deficiency judgment after a Short Sale or Foreclosure ? - 02/03/10 07:07 AM
A deficiency judgment after a Short Sale or Foreclosure? It appears from the article below from CNN Money it is very possible.
I ask has anyone heard of this yet?
Should you now be telling your short sale sellers this is possible?
If this happens then a bankruptcy maybe the only way out for many people.
What effect will this have on the real estate market long term if all the lenders start doing this?
This does not apply to many states and not in Arizona

New HUD Policy Created to Allow Quicker Foreclosure Re-sales!
Effective February 1, 2010 the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will relax FHA rules that prohibit insuring mortgages on homes that are owned by the seller for less than 90 days - a move that could help expedite the rehabilitation and resale of foreclosure properties.In a housing market where tighter lending requirements have made FHA financing the only option for some buyers, this 90-day policy has (1) kept some homebuyers from being able to purchase affordable homes and (2) prevented the quick resale of foreclosed properties, which affects the ability … (0 comments)
