What exaclty is a Short Refinance?
A short-refi, short refinance, or also known as a short-payoff, is a transaction, where the current lender agrees to accept less than the full amount owed on your property. This process is similar to a short sale but, instead of the property being sold, it is refinanced with a new lender. The short-refinance allows the homeowner to retain ownership of the property, while at the same time avoiding a foreclosure or possible bankruptcy and best of all wiping out negative equity!
Why Short Refinance?
If you want to keep your home, but don't have enough equity to get into a refinance loan, you have tried a loan modification and it didn't work, then a short refinance is your answer. We can get your LTV (loan to value) right where you need it to be in order to refinance! It's a well known fact that there are companies out there that will do foreclosure bailouts, but the main draw back is that the LTV needs to be between 60% - 70%, with most lenders tightening there belts down to the 60% notch. Most homeowners have LTV's between the 75% - 100+% range. The problem with this is that most lenders won't accept them. Therefore, by negotiating a short-refi with your current lender, you can obtain a payoff of less than the full amount owed, getting your LTV where it is needed to refinance your home with a new lender. Thus, also creating equity in your home, where before you had little or none.
How Does a Short Refinance work?
A short refinance transaction is a two part process. The first component is the equity re-negotiation with the lender. The second component is obtaining the refinance loan approval. We can handle the first component for you but, you must make sure you are working with a true mortgage professional who can assist you with the second component, obtaining the refinance approval.
The process to complete a short-refinance usually takes 6-8 weeks. It can take longer, depending on the current lender! If you don't have enough equity and you need mortgage relief, we can eliminate your upside down equity and put you in a position to qualify for a refinance loan!
