What is Really Going on With These Banks?

As much as I have been talking Matt Vernon up with B of A because I think he is really trying what is really going on with why the banks are so foreclosure happy? I have heard of two horror stories where there is an approved short sale via equator and the home was auctioned out underneath the new Buyer's feet after being in escrow for 9 months! I have a lot of ya'll e-mailing me for help (2 today) and believe me I want to help you for sure. But I am just as mystified why a bank would foreclose on a property getting 30% on the dollar than do a short sale for 60%? Does anyone have a clue what is really going on with our banks and the government?

It usually has something to do with PMI.  They appear to be getting less but mortgage insurance is paying them more?

It sounds like a bit of chaos where the left hand simply has no idea what the right hand is doing.

Hi Renee, it might be the PMI....um that is interesting!

Yes, guys we totally know that one! They don't know what the different departments are doing and there is no communication!

I have to always question horror stories like this, mainly because the process in California to get from a notice of default to an auction is not a short process. Whenever I've been able to dig deeper, I've always found that the person telling the horror story was doing a little embellishment to suit his own needs.
