Montgomery County Short Sales: Drawbacks To Bank Of America's New Short Sale Program

Montgomery County Short Sales: Drawbacks To Bank Of America's New Short Sale Program



Montgomery County MD – Despite the fact that the Cooperative short sale may help the borrower leave the home without some of the negative aspects of a foreclosure, it has its drawbacks that you may need to consider before you decide to explore this option. Below are some of the drawbacks:

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

Deed in Lieu. In the event that your home does not sell, then the program stipulates that the next step is a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

This affects your credit just like a foreclosure does. We not see why you couldn't refuse the deed-in-lieu at that stage and attempt another short sale. Or, at least live "rent free" until the bank forecloses.

Second Lender / Mortgage Insurance Refusal to Participate.

If you have two loans on a short sale, then you will always need the approval of the second lender to participate. If the second lender does not agree to the first mortgage's offer, then they might refuse to approve the short sale.

Moreover, if the loan has mortgage insurance, the Mortgage Insurance company will need to approve the sale as well.

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

Montgomery County Short Sales: Why Bank Of America Is Offering A New Short Sale Program

Montgomery County Short Sales: Why Bank Of America Is Offering A New Short Sale Program



Montgomery County MD – A cooperative short sale may be a good option depending on your situation.

But, you need to remember that Banks are not in the business of making life easier for its customers, much less anyone trying a short sale.

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

Banks are in business to turn a profit. The main reason Bank of America has initiated the Cooperative Short Sale is to increase the bank's bottom line profit.

They increase their profit whenever they cut losses on loans that are in default. The bank faced several problems:

1. They have a bad reputation for taking too long to process short sales and loan modifications.

2. Due to the length of time to buy a short sale, buyers are making lowball offers.

3. Many agents are in experienced on short sales and unsure of what to do. As a result, many agents were in the dark on where to price a short sale property.

Before listing the property, Bank of America will provide the terms such as the list price and deficiency judgments. In doing so, the bank is able to provide a shorter decision time once an offer is received.

In fact, Bank of America claims that once an offer is received, they will provide a decision in 10 days!

This simply means that Buyers will be less frustrated with the purchase process and more willing to wait for it to be completed.

With a traditional short sale many Buyers get frustrated and walk before a response is received on the short sale.

Montgomery County Short Sales: Benefits of Bank of America's New Short Sale Program

Montgomery County Short Sales: Benefits of Bank of America's New Short Sale Program



Montgomery County MD – Bank of America's Cooperative Short Sale makes the entire short sale process easier for everyone involved.

The bank has rolled this out because a short sale reduces their losses compared to a foreclosure. A short sale is quicker than a foreclosure and it doesn't tarnish the bank's reputation as much as a foreclosure.

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

Banks don't want to have bank owned properties on their balance sheet. The fact is: it makes financial, legal and good PR sense for banks to close out non-performing loans this way.

Here are the benefits to the homeowner of a Successful Cooperative Short Sale with Bank of America:

* Bank of America will pay the Seller $2,500 for moving expenses.

* Bank of America will not pursue the deficiency amount - the bank waives its right to go after the seller for the deficiency.

* Bank of America will not foreclose on your home.

* Bank of America assigns a listing price - then re-assesses the price every 2 weeks, until a buyer is found.

Another good thing with the cooperative short sale is that the homeowner doesn't have the stigma of a foreclosure on his or her record.

Eligibility requirements include asset reviews, no second liens, and require participating investors.

Montgomery County Short Sales: Good News On Bank of America Short Sales

Montgomery County Short Sales: Good News On Bank of America Short Sales



Montgomery County MD – Bank of America is rolling out a new short sale program that will provide the quickest route to a short sale decision.

The bank came up with this programs to help ensure that homeowners are able to explore all their options and avoid foreclosure.

This program, named the Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale Program, minimizes the challenges of traditional short sales - such as having to wait up to 60 days for a representative to even be assigned to your sale.

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

A cooperative short sale starts with a phone call from the homeowner to the bank. The homeowner explains to the bank that he or she has suffered a hardship, and will no longer be able to make the mortgage payments.

The Banker and the homeowner will probably discuss a loan modification. In fact, this may be a pre-requisite to entering into a cooperative short sale.

Once the bank has determined that a loan modification is not a viable option, and after documents have been presented to the bank that show the home owner's hardship, then the bank is not left with any good options than the cooperative short sale.

The next step in the process is for the Bank to order an appraisal. The property is then listed with a Realtor at the appraised value of the house, and the Bank agrees to sell the property at the appraised price.

Buyers can get an answer on their offers within only a day or two, not the 3-6 months a traditional short sale takes. This is because the short sale is pre-approved.

The Bank also understands that the appraisal may have come in high, and if the property doesn't sell in 21 days, the price gets lowered every 21 days until an offer comes in.

We think this is a great new program that will make short sales much easier for everyone involved.

Question from homeowner: My lender just sold my loan. Is that a good thing?

Question from homeowner: My lender just sold my loan. Is that a good thing?

Montgomery County MD - The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from James. “My loan was just sold. I was making payments to CitiFinancial and they sold it to Nationstar. Is that good or bad?” James asked.

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

Here is the answer. It’s neither good nor bad. In fact, I don’t think your loan was sold. You see, most loans were packaged up and sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Wall Street.

James’s loan was more than likely packaged up and sold off. I asked him who his original lender was. He said it was a company called First Magnus. (First Magnus declared bankruptcy in 2007 and was afterwards closed.)

The Stop Foreclosure Institute has negotiated short sales on loans that were originally with First Magnus. The last one was sold to a large Wall Street Firm and securitized.

That means James’s loan could be owned by anyone. More than likely it is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. If not, then it was probably sold to a Wall Street Firm.

The owner of the loan hired CitiFinancial to act as their front man. That means Citi collected the payments, handled escrows and accounting, and manages debt collections and foreclosures.

More than likely Nationstar did not buy the loan. Instead whoever owns the loan hired them to act as the front man instead of Citi.
