Antioch CA – Most people think that when a loan modification fails, then the homeowner who loses their home is the only party that loses. Well, often the bank loses as well. Let me explain why.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Many banks are turning down loan modifications where the payments received would repay a mortgage amount higher than what they sell the property for as a foreclosure.

A bank has two options when negotiating a loan modification.

Option 1: Foreclose and sell the property for $150,000.

Option 2: The homeowner is offering to repay $1,000 a month for the next 30 years. At today’s interest rates that will repay a $211,000 mortgage.

In fact, these same banks are spending thousands of dollars advertising to get people to borrow $211,000 and repay them $1,000 a month. But, in most cases they would rather foreclose and kick this homeowner out of their home.

This makes the bank a loser on two counts. First, they are losing money. But, second of all, they are a loser for unnecessarily kicking a family out of their home. Thinking about a short sale?

Antioch CA – John and Susan bought a home at the peak before the real estate crash. They paid $325,000 for their dream home. Unfortunately, it isn’t a dream anymore.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

John lost his job and didn’t find a new one for three months. His new job pays 30% less than his old one. Susan’s business income went down as well. They can no longer afford their current mortgage payment and stopped making the payment.

They attempted a loan modification. Their lender wouldn’t reduce their payments. The person they worked with at their lender told them, “You agreed to that mortgage payment and we want you to honor your commitment.”

(Isn’t it interesting how banks that received a bailout like to talk about being honorable and honoring their agreements?)

After a little while their lender filed for foreclosure. They applied for a loan modification again. Their lender said they would forgive the back payments, but the monthly payment wasn’t much lower than before.

They started looking at a place to rent. They found a similar home to rent for $600 less than the payment their lender was offering. They decided to move because the rental was something they could afford.

They moved out, short sold their old house, and stabilized their life. Today they are happier and enjoying their new home without the stress. Thinking about a short sale?

Antioch CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Richard. “I accepted a job transfer and had to move. Unfortunately we were upside down on the house.

I decided to rent it out rather than short sale it. The renters just moved out. I just checked the house. They trashed it!

I could rent the house out again, but I would have to spend several thousand dollars fixing it up first. What would you recommend that I do?” Richard asked.

This is a classic example of when a short sale is the right option. Rather than limping on with a wound you are able to get rid of the upside down debt and move on with your life.

The banks received a bailout. Where is the bailout for the common man? A rental that is losing money every month is like a cancer. Left untouched it just gets worse and worse.

Unless you have a lot of cash to treat the problem, then it will eat away at your finances month after month. You could fix up the house and rent it out again. But, you risk having the same thing happen all over again.

If you are able to rent it and cover all the costs, then I would recommend you keep the home. If not, then I would recommend you short sell it.

If you can break even, then the house will be a good investment as the real estate market recovers. However, you will always risk large unexpected costs like the one you are experiencing right now.

If it the rent does not cover all the costs, then the burden will only get bigger as time progresses. Costs will keep on going up. Rent prices might drop. The housing market could decline even further.

It would be better to just get rid of the liability now, once and for all. Thinking about a short sale?

Antioch CA – In most areas the rental market is very tight. Rental prices have been increasing because so many people are losing their home to foreclosure.

But, what is still surprising is that in most cases it is still cheaper to rent than own an upside down home. See, home prices have dropped by 20-50%, depending on the area.

It was a lot less expensive to rent back in the peak of the real estate boom. After the crash rent dropped in many areas.

It has come back up, but it is still cheaper than a mortgage payment on a home bought at the peak of the housing market. Many people are shocked that it is often cheaper to short sale and rent that staying in their home with a loan modification.

Here are the two factors that make it possible to rent a comparable or even nicer home for less than their mortgage

Let’s take the example of a home who paid $150,000 for a home that is now worth $75,000. Their mortgage payment was around $1,350 a month.

They stopped paying their payments and moved to a rental. They found a much nicer, larger home to rent for $850 a month. (This was after trying for months to convince their lender to modify their loan.)

The lender wouldn’t drop the payments below $1,200 a month. The house they are renting is selling today for around $95,000.

Someone can buy that house for $95,000 and rent it for $850 a month without losing money. That is what makes it cheaper to rent versus getting a loan modification and staying in your home.

When prices were rising it was actually more expensive to own versus rent. But, everyone wanted to own because their house was supposed to go up in value.

If you are thinking about a loan modification, then first check into the rental market. You will be able to negotiate your loan modification from a position of power.

That will make it more likely that you will get the reduced payment you need so you can keep your home. Thinking about a short sale?
