Part 8 (Excerpt)

Rent skimming and other foreclosure scams Home Owner Beware.

And what rent skimming is, a shark as I like to call them, a shark will go out and find a vacant house, and they will go in and change the locks and maybe clean it up a little if need be but then they will rent it out to somebody. They will move that person into the house, they will get their $1,000 or $1,500 a month rent payment on the house, and 3 or 4 months down the road the repo man comes knocking on the door and says, hey you have to get out. He says this to the tenant of course and the tenant says, hey you dont own the house, and it turns out that the guy that they were paying rent from for the last 3 or 4 months didnt own the house either.

So you are talking about somebody, a shark, who goes out and finds a vacant house, breaks in, changes the locks, cleans it up, puts it up on Craigs list and rents it out and collects the money. He never owned the house, he never had any rights to the house, then all of a sudden the sheriff shows up and says you have to go. How can that be legal? Well its not legal; its not legal at all. Because the person who rented you the house knows that they dont own the house, now of course the tenant doesnt know that.

Now under Fannie Maes new guidelines, that tenant, if they are lucky enough to have Fannie Mae own that property, or own that note, you may actually get to stay in the house because Fannie Mae has some new guidelines that if they have a tenant in the house, they will re-sign a contract with them and let them stay in the house. It didnt say how long but they will let them stay in there for a while.

Wow, that is fantastic. I actually didnt know about that, so Fannie Mae is getting into the property management business. Yes, our government is now becoming a landlord as well as the entity that likes to just hand out trillions of dollars. I believe that you and I have a differing of opinion on this, Dan. I actually think that that is the right thing for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to do, primarily because if they sell right now they will sell at a huge loss and they have an opportunity to pick up some capitol at some point, dont you think?

Well, I dont know, it all depends on whether property values keep going up or property values keep going down. But the real issue becomes, is our government in the business of owning real estate? And we can argue about this all day long. There is no need to; there is too much other information you are going to talk about, too many other sharks out there.

What is the crime, I mean realistically, some guy goes in, breaks into the house. Sounds like its breaking and entering to me, then he is collecting monies on a vacant house and well there are a number of crimes, I have to admit I dont have the statute with me but I do know in Arizona there is a statute specifically about this very practice. And that would be Terry Goddards website? I would suspect that you could go there and find it.

But real quick here before we run out of time, there are two other quick things I wanted to talk about one just happened to a friend of mine recently where her daughter moved out of a house that she had been living in for years and she moved to another state and the house went vacant. Well, she hadnt been gone for more than a few weeks and the mother, who was going to help her work on a short sale, went over to the house one day and found that the locks were changed.

And I immediately think, Oh, Oh were dealing with a rent skimming situation here. Well it turns out the lender, who does not own the house yet, because there has not been a foreclosure sale, came by, saw the house was vacant, opened the door, changed all the locks on the house and now essentially is not really willing to give the keys to the owner. I couldnt quite figure that one out, especially when I found out that two weeks later they still had not gotten the keys from the lender.

So just be careful of that and the one thing I want, the last thing I will talk about is that a buddy of mine works repos over in California and I think its happening here a little bit, where what will happen is when you are in a foreclosure situation you will have all kinds of people knocking on your door. Some of these people want to come by and buy the stuff out of your house.

Part 2 (Excerpt)

The median income family can afford twice the median priced home; prices drop over 50%

And now I mentioned Dan Havey is back in the studio with us, Dan has done a lot of great things in the mortgage industry. He left us about a year and a half ago, is that right Dan?

Yes, I left the mortgage industry in October of 2007. Tell us a little bit more about yourself.

As you know I came originally from Wisconsin, where I got a degree in Business Finance and I came out here in 1989 and started working with my brother selling real estate owned-REO, bank owned properties for Fannie Mae, Countrywide, and the Resolution Trust Corporation-RTC which was the government entity that was put in charge of disposing of all the real estate owned by the 1800 S&Ls that had failed. I did that until about 1995 when I moved into the mortgage industry and there for 12 years I worked predominately with bankruptcy attorneys helping their clients get out of bankruptcy and foreclosure. I left the mortgage industry in October of 2007. Now I am working predominately in the arena of marketing for real estate and mortgage companies, helping out companies, just like Im here helping out Michael today, to get people to realize that right now actually is a really good time to buy.

There are a couple of points I want to make and it was something that Michael had said earlier. The first one was that 4% interest rate. Originally Obama said a couple of weeks ago, when he rolled out the mortgage plan, that they were going to take the $200 billion and use it to buy mortgage backed securities, well the article I was reading today said it appears that plan may have changed. Instead of buying the mortgage backs they were actually buying the stock of Fannie and Freddie to help support the company and keep these companies going under. I dont quite understand why being how they own them now.

Well youve got to hand it to the government they have really done a heck of a job helping Fannie Mae out, for instance today the stock is up to $0.41. Wow, doing so well, I remember when it was $150 or so, where it was at the top of the market.

Today, right now is definitely the best time even if rates dont get down to the 4% point. The beauty of it and were going to talk more about this in a later segment, is that we have seen a 51% decline in home values from the peak of the market. So you dont have to have the absolute greatest interest rate in order to be able to buy a house today. The median home price right now is $130,000 in Maricopa County, it was $264,000 just two years ago.

So the median home price is $130,000? We are going to talk a little bit about what a person has to make to actually qualify for that. Well it is definitely well within the means of a median income family. Right now a median income family makes about $64,000 in the state of Arizona according to the US Census Bureau and HUD. I ran some numbers today, I think at 6% interest and at that rate they can buy a $280,000 house. So you can buy twice the median home price if you are making just what the median income family would be in the state of Arizona. So the median household income buys double the median priced house in Maricopa County. That is correct, at 6% interest.

And the reality of it is interest rates are not even that high right now. So for people to be waiting for that perfect interest rate of 4% it doesnt really matter if it gets here or not because right now is such an incredibly fabulous time to be buying a house. There are so many foreclosures out there on the market right now, there are so many short sales out there on the market right now, and the point you made earlier is very important, that people have to get in and get prequalified, know exactly what they can buy. Now in many cases you are going to need a down payment, so get with your mortgage broker, get with Velocity Financial and start working on that program of getting those funds together for the down payment as well.

Dan Havey we talked in the past about whats available for financing these days, interesting to give little pat on the back for Velocity Financial is one of less than 15% of all of the lenders in the state of Arizona that are qualified to do FHA financed homes. Now FHA financing, people used to think it was only for first time home buyers, thats no longer the case. The FHA loan which only requires 3.5% down payment it doesnt matter if you have owned a home before and in many cases you can own another home now so long as your new purchase is going to be your primary residence you can utilize FHA financing and put only 3.5% down.
