Are we being HOSED? You be the JUDGE.

I have to preface this by saying, I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. There is a right way and a wrong way of watching out for "We the People". No politician was elected to watch out solely for his/her interests and special interests.

YOU are elected to watch out for US. YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION OF POWER WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT WITHOUT WATCHING OUT FOR OUR BEST INTERESTS, OR YOU NEED TO RESIGN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a look at some of these links, and feel free to share some others so we can get educated!

The Great American Bubble

Get ready America, as we are not going to remain on top if we allow all of this to continue.

America's Economy not on top anymore.

Madoff and the SEC

It is time we American's buckle down, appreciate what we do have, and FIGHT FOR IT instead of letting this Elitist SELF SERVING Club foolishly squander away our money and AMERICA.

Look at the Sheriff's Sales that were cancelled from January of this year through March/April of this year. There is inventory yet to be put out on the market unless all of these homeowners received loan modifications and other things to straighten out their financial situation. While this would be absolutely wonderful for the families, the odds are not that each found new jobs or received loan modifications, and yet the majority of these properties are not yet back on the market. How are cancelled Sheriff's Sales at being filtered back into listings in your areas?

If you are thinking of selling your home as a short sale, ask the agent you are thinking of listing with how many short sales they have listed this year, how many Short Sales they have closed? You might not want your preforeclosure to be their first listing, or their first short sale.

If you are thinking of buying a Short Sale, you will need an experienced Short Sale Agent.

• Make sure your agent prices your offer around market value if you are truly interested in purchasing this property. If it is a "HOT" property, you run the risk of someone not lowballing and writing a much stronger offer than you. Start out a little lower, but whatever you offer, always offer what you are comfortable walking away without an accepted offer in hand, knowing that you gave it your BEST effort.
• Know that most banks in a Short Sale situation are not yet handling these offers where they would counter, most are simply rejecting the offer. There are a couple out there that have gotten savvy and up to date enough that their Short Sale department will actually volunteer where the offer needs to be for them to accept the offer.
• Banks work off of Bottom Line, what their net will be. There are fees that some of the banks will not pay, and some will pay. Some of these fees are home warranties, extreme amount of buyer closing costs, surveys, etc. Some banks will pay past due HOA fees, SOME WILL NOT.
• Make sure your agent asks if the seller has FHA financing, as there are certain criteria to follow on FHA Short Sales, specifically on how the agent will write your offer/what is allowable and what isn't.
