Part 8 – Ok, so that is good to know, I know there are people who want to try and do that and I really dont know. I am really a full time mortgage professional, I didnt get into the loan modification business on purpose, we write mortgage loans, real estate loans for residential and commercial, so therefore I dont know your laws on the same token you dont do loan modifications and you dont write loans, youre professional realtor.

Exactly, and one more thing, bottom line is you cant be defrauding the bank. Because then youre stepping into mortgage fraud, as you know. You do have to have a hardship, you honestly do have to show, if youre going to be benefiting from staying in the home, you have to show a hardship that you cant afford the current payment. If youre making a couple hundred thousand a year and have a ½ million in the bank and owe $200,000 the bank isnt on your side in that case.

There are a lot of situations though when a homeowner wants to stay in their home, if that is the case, then we market it to investors, because there is a lot of the people who are buying these homes so we work with the investor and we work out the lease amount and the homeowners can stay in their homes in those situations. Whatever it looks like at the end of the day, the homeowner needs to picture where they are going to be in the short term midterm and long term and where this house fits into those plans, if a loan mod isnt right a short sale is a significantly better option than a foreclosure.

They need to call now, they need to take action because you do need to find a place to live and were here to help you, you dont want to get two weeks to the point of foreclosure and have no where to move your family. And the Dreamvestors Team that is your main focus right now, but people still call you for first time home buyers.

We work with buyers as well as people who are short selling. We have been in real estate several years and we didnt want just short sales, were fortunate to have a very strong clientele base and were always taking new clients. We have just adjusted our focus as the market called for it and as our clients called for it.

The other thing too when we talk about these short sales, getting out of that home before it goes to foreclosure is always the best case scenario, the bank is happier with it, the house is more saleable in most cases, people are still living there, its still there home, they still feel like the pride of ownership.

Yes, and in addition, pride of neighborhood is another point. Your neighbors are going to like you better because there is not a foreclosure in their neighborhood, it helps keep the prices up when the bank takes them back the banks price them even lower typically, well sure and then its vacant and we have the potential problem of neighborhood kids turning the house into a paintball arena.

I saw that in a fantastic two story home with an amazing backyard, this house was to die for, a million dollar home and the neighborhood kids turned this house into a paintball arena. Now I am not going to lie, that might have been fun when I was a kid, but this house was trashed, wires hanging out, I mean it was just an absolute mess. The lenders dont want that, you dont want that. They need to take action they need to call you.

Yes educate yourself and call someone today. Folks its important to point out today that I would like to see you call Kalyn and Jeri for this because I know, I have seen their track record. I know their close ratio and I know that they generally care about you and your needs first, but if you have someone who does this and youre contemplating it, if you have a sale date coming up, you need to take action. Move on with your life, put this part of your life behind you.

One of the things to and we dont want to get to deep into this, Jeri or Kalyn, but after the short sale is done its all said and done, you have an affiliation with people who can help them out in getting their credit repaired and ready to go. We do, we really pride ourselves on being a one stop shop, so we help educate them, if its going to be a loan modification or a short sale once they get through the process then we begin working with them on credit repair. We have a program that we work ourselves, and if its a really sticky issue with your credit we have people that we work very closely with that we will refer you to, we also have a team that includes a bankruptcy attorney, a real estate attorney and a real estate CPA… http://realestatemarketingthisweek.com

How and who pays for the liens ie. R.E.tax lien, IRS liens and mechanic liens on a foreclosed property If I want to buy it? What happens to the owner who declared bankruptcy ?

I bought a foreclosed house last year that had been vacant for two years. The owner was Fannie Mae. Part of the deal was they had to pay off the back taxes and I got the house clear.

So the answer is, if you put in a bid, make sure there is a clause in there that makes the SELLER responsible for paying he back taxes, liens, etc.

A good real estate agent and attorney should be able to cover all your bases on this.

Stay Put

Produce the note Follow the law

Wall Street and its co-conspirators on Main Street had a great plan.

Step 1: Ram predatory loans down the market with fraud and deceptive marketing.

Step 2: Some of the loans will blow up, but in the aggregate it will all work out and besides, the loans will be bundled and sold off to investors (spreading the toxic waste), so who cares?

Great plan, but it had a few problems.

Problem #1: It destroyed the world financial system (minor detail)

Problem #2 (And he’s where it get VERY interesting…) For a loan to be valid, the lender needs to be able to produce the paperwork.

Guess what? In their mad greed to screw the American people and line their own pockets, Wall Street forgot that little detail.

Many of these loans and been sliced and diced and sold and re-sold so many times that not only is the paperwork not easy to lay hands on, in some cases, it’s not clear who actually owns the loan.

Here’s where property law comes in.

If the bank can’t produce the documents and the real owner of the loan can’t be identified, the contract is null and void.

You’ve got to hand it to Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (and Ohio which produces a lot of great Congresspeople.)

By telling a bank to “produce the note,” a homeowner can delay foreclosure by forcing the lender to prove the suing institution is actually the same which owns the debt.

Now, the banks own sloth and disorganization (and inherent dishonesty) can be used against it.

Final word: The media (and Wall Street and its criminal partners in Congress and the former Bush White House) love to call these loans sup-prime.

Here’s the old fashioned word: predatory.

Many of the loans that were made in the past five years that have created so many problems would have been illegal until Bush & Co not only gutted lending laws, but also literally sued states to stop them from enforcing their own lending laws.

Former governor Elliott Spitzer was the ring leader of the state movement to enforce local lending laws…and you saw what happened to him.

He’s no saint (and truth be told, he’s kind of a jerk) but if every politician who went to hookers was busted, Washington and all the state capitals would be ghost towns
