Bank of America Short Sale process improves!

Sidney Kutchuk

Bank of America HAFA Short Sale process improvements.

Bank of AmericaBank of America sent out a letter today that as of Dec 1 2011 they made changes to the short sale process that will reduce the time needed to complete a short sale.

“ When a short sale is submitted with an offer and the homeowner is HAFA eligible, we will no longer halt work on the file while waiting to contact the homeowner. HAFA eligible homeowners are no longer required to call our Short Sale Customer Care to indicate whether they will participate in the program.”

This is a good step forward and can cut weeks off the time currently needed to complete a short sale.
Currently our Temecula short sales with Bank of America are taking about 100 days to get full short sale approval.

If you have a home loan with Bank of America and want to know if a short sale is an option for you,call or email me.I have 16+ years of short sale experience and there is never a fee for my short sale help.

How To Stop A Foreclosure From Happening

Sidney Kutchuk

Do you think you’re someone who is having difficulties to generate your loan payment each and every month? If you have gotten behind with your home loan installments, you may be wondering the main question, what is foreclosure? The foreclosure method is a thing that happens when the bank of the home loan usually takes back the property because of insufficient repayments. The lender or lending institution is going to do this to be able to protect their particular financial stake with the home.

The first thing that an individual ought to do today to steer clear of a foreclosure, would be to not miss that initial repayment to start with. If you do come upon difficulty with a transaction, do your very best to get caught up as soon as possible and continue to save yourself from missing the second monthly payment if possible. Additionally, you ought not keep away from your own lender as this is only going to make the circumstance even worse. The greatest thing you can do is always to communicate with them right away. Sometimes they’ll be qualified to work together with you at this time.

When you do neglect another monthly payment, most likely your own loan provider may make contact with you, or a legal professional will on their part. This can be the start of the actual home foreclosure procedure and you should need to know your privileges and the feasible things that you can do to end the foreclosure before it goes further.

Going through a foreclosure generally is a hurtful procedure. This is especially real if you have loved ones that has lived in this house for a long time and is really connected to the property. If you happen to be a single owner of this residence, shifting out of this setback probably will never be as hard and you’ll be in a position to proceed with your life and in many cases acquire real estate once again later on once you discover yourself in a better economic situation.

Taxes With Forgiven Debt In A Short Sale

Sidney Kutchuk

Orlando Short Sale Expert

Hello and Welcome to the Orlando Short Sale Expert show. We are Central Florida’s short sale experts. Today we are going to chat concerning something that is incredibly significant, taxes.

If you are considering a Orlando short sale, you should be aware of the tax ramifications. When you go through a short sale, their is a fraction of debt that is forgiven. And according to the IRS, forgiven debit is taxable debit. So, if you bought a house for $200,000 and today it is worth $100,000, the IRS sees that $100,000 difference as taxable. However, do not fear. The government has given us two options to avoid paying those taxes. Initially, you may qualify for the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007. The majority of Orlando potential short sale clients meet the requirements. If you do not meet the requirements for that you can file for insolvency. In order to file for insolvency, fill out IRS form 982. That can lighten you of any tax liablity.

Between those 2 alternatives most people would not have to pay any taxes on the forgiven debt from your Orlando short sale. Remember that we are not CPA’s or licensed to give tax advice. Please be sure to talk with your tax advisor about this procedure.

Do you need to sell your home or are you underwater and can’t make your mortgage payments? Are you facing located in facing foreclosure in Florida?

Promissory Notes And Your Short Sale

Sidney Kutchuk

Orlando Short Sale Expert

Today we are going to chat about promissory notes. A promissory note is simply a promise to pay. We are seeing promissory notes asked for more regularly among Orlando short sales and especially by mortgage insurance businesses.

We just had a client who had to short sale his Orlando property. His first mortgage was with Bank of America and his second was with a local Orlando lender. Bank of America signed off on the offer without any doubts. Nevertheless, the HELOC had mortgage insurance on it. So, the mortgage insurance company was paying for the Home equity line of credit. Now the mortgage insurance company has entered the negotiations and they have requested a $30,000 promissory note over the next 20 years. We worked to get that promissory note negotiated to a quantity that he could pay off in a very short amount of time.

We are seeing these promissory notes more frequently, but you need to recognize that this is not a horrible thing. If you are asked to sign a small promissory note in order for a short sale to clear, that is not a bad deal. You can be forgiven thousands of dollars in debit with the guarantee that the bank will not pursue you for deficiencies.

If you choose to go to foreclosure, they will probably file a deficiency lawsuit against you and you will be troubled by this for years. So, please remember that promissory notes are not horrible. We try to negotiate them away and in many cases are successful.

If you are thinking about doing a Philadelphia short sale, you may be wondering how long this process will take. I’ll be truthful. There is not a definite response to that inquiry. Nonetheless, i can tell you this. From the first moment that we meet until your short sale is closed, it usually takes five to seven months. Here’s why.

First we have to put your home on the market. We will market your house just like it is a customary sale. We are required by law to reveal that your home is a Philadelphia short sale. Nonetheless, we will still be giving you broad service with stuff like virtual tours, online photographs, online advertising, and direct mail marketing. We do all of these things to get the maximum and best price for your home. We are focused on obtaining the maximum and best price that the market will allow. We treat your Philadelphia home like a conventional sale.

After we get an offer on your house we will submit a folder to the bank which includes an offer and lots of financial details from you. How fast the short sale is closed is dependent upon how fast you can get the financial information to us. We get lots of of these documents upfront but quite a few of these items expire. For illustration, the lender requires your two most recent wage stubs. So, if we begin your short sale in January and complete your Philadelphia short sale in May, we will have to update your salary stubs.

Today we are speaking about how to make sure that you don’t damage your Minneapolis area short sale. The Minneapolis area short sale progression is completely different than selling your home as a standard sale. There are unique strategies that you make use of with a short sale. Also, because you have to build a case with the lender on several different levels, there are different ways to list a Minneapolis area short sale home. There are also different negotiating standpoints that need to be worked on with the purchaser.

Another thing that we notice is that potential clients need to be coached when working with a Minneapolis area short sale. At times homeowners are stunned by how low the value of their house has dropped. When the home has no offers at a specific price level, the price has to be reduced, since the only we can begin negotiating with the bank is to have an offer.

We have never had a problem getting a short sale agreed, even when we as Minneapolis area short sale agents, are shocked by how low the price is. Quite honestly, your property will sell in the range that it is worth. Each home placed in the MLS is viewed by everyone that wants to purchase a Minneapolis area property. Realtors and buyers are utilizing the MLS. So, if your property is on the MLS people will see it and people will buy it if it is priced correctly.

The entire short sale process in Minneapolis area depends on the fair market value of the property. We would be glad to help you with the sale of your Minneapolis area home and walk you through the short sale procedure.

Short Sale Vs Foreclosure

Sidney Kutchuk

Sold By Short Sale

There are a lot of terms out there to figure out. Short sale, foreclosure, deed in lieu of, etc. are all terms normally heard in the existing market. At times it can be puzzling trying to figure out what is actually happening. Some short sale clients receive a foreclosure notification and they do not understand what that means. So, let me explain it to you.

When you default on your loan or stop making payments, when you run into the 90 day mark, the bank will start foreclosure measures. Basically, the lender is asking the court for the permission to sell the property to make good on the debit. Foreclosure proceedings take a while to close, especially in Philadelphia.

Here’s what will take place. After 90 days go by and you have stopped making payments, the lender will contact you to speak about it. If you are not able to bring your mortgage current, the lender will start the foreclosure procedure. The foreclosure progression doesn’t mean sheriff sale. What it means is that they are going to ask the judge to allow them to sell the home. This progression can take six to nine months.

We know that potential short sale clients who have their Philadelphia home on the market for short sale often get there property under contract but they still get foreclosure notices. The lender continues the process just in case they have to sell the home at sheriff sale. They do not want to start all over again.

You may be in foreclosure or in the process of being foreclosed upon even while you are doing a short sale. Don’t worry. We will work with your lender to make sure they know that there is an offer on your house. Just understand that you have a lot of time. Let your realtor know that you are in foreclosure so that they can get in touch with your lender promptly and get you the assistance that you need.
