+90 Days of Extra Foreclosure Breathing Room ...if you are real lucky...

Starting on the 15th of June 2009 California has a new 90 day foreclosure moratorium law take effect. Similiar to the bill, "Making Home Affordable", Obama passed back in March.

This bill was passed to make lenders try harder to keep boorrowers (you) in their homes. The lenders must prove that they tried to modify any delinquent loans before starting the foreclosure process.

What this law does, in practical purposes, is add 90 days from the time that the Notice of Default (NOD) is sent to when they are allowed to file a Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS). In the past lenders are allowed to file the NTS 90 days after the NOD was filed, and now with the new bill there is an extra 90 days tacked on giving the homeowners 180 days after NOD before the NTS. There are a couple of provisions to qualify for this extra 90 days:

  • the loan was recorded from Jan 1 2003 to Jan 1 2008
  • this was the original loan used to purchase the property (not a refinance)
  • the home is your primary residence (or was if you receive the NOD while you lived there)

The news is not all roses and cream however, some may even say that this bill is a joke. The lenders can petition for exemption from the bill, from what I can tell all they have to prove that they have a loan modification program in place.

Here is the list of which lenders are exempt from this legislation..... THE LIST

Maybe I should just quit golf or maybe I've found the perfect instructor

For the last 15 years or so I've enjoyed playing golf with my son and it has been a pleasure to watch him grow and improve and far surpass me. At times I wonder what it would take to keep up with him on the golf course in the coming years, however I think I've stumbled across the ultimate inspirational golf story for the middle aged male psyche. Click on the link below to read about the exploits of the "World's Greatest Golfer", a 5'3" older gentleman from Asia, and no, it's not Tiger Woods hunched over. Working on your handicap? I don't wanna give away the punchline but you're about to meet the golfer who has shattered the meter on that scale...FORE!

P.S. This superhuman "athlete" also rolled a perfect game 300 his FIRST time out bowling. And my son and I thought we were pretty good at that too. Check out the photo of his physique and tell me what you think his training secret is.

If he wasn't so preoccupied with running a nation he'd be an obvious shoe-in for being a one-man Olympic team. Move over Michael Phelps, he's only gonna be limited by his inability to be in more than one event simultaneously.

I just found out the good news. Sounds the Movie, in which I played the part of Agent Miller, is being released in North Carolina sometime next year. As one of the original 13 colonies, back then it was just Carolina, we know they have history. Now with the release of Sounds the Movie we know also that they have good taste.

For a review by a native North Carolinan click here
