Tracy CA – We had a negotiator at Bank of America try to push us around a little while ago. We’ve studied and analyzed all of the short sale guidelines and rules.

This was an FHA loan and therefore would be governed by FHA’s Short Sale Guidelines. This means that the lender must follow FHA’s Specific Instructions on how to handle the short sale. Here’s what happened.

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

FHA sends all of the lenders who handle their loans a letter called “Mortgagee Letter 2008-43.” It details exactly how the banks servicing an FHA loan are supposed to negotiate on a short sale.

This letter is 16 pages long and gives them specific directions on how much to pay agents, what percentage of the appraisal they can accept, etc.

We had had a wretched experience another FHA short sale. The lender lied to the seller’s prior agent and hadn’t followed the FHA Short Sale Guidelines. Because of that experience, we had read thru this letter 2-3 times.

Bottom line, we know a little bit about FHA’s rules for short sales. The problem was this negotiator at a large national bank didn’t want to follow the rules!

Instead she made up her own rules! She told us that the buyer and seller had to split the cost of the title insurance. The problem is on page 12 of the Mortgage Letter, it says that they are allowed to approve a file paying the standard title insurance costs.

In our area, it is the sale’s contracts are written with the seller paying for the title insurance. The buyer pays their closing costs and the title insurance for their lender.

But, this negotiator didn’t want to allow that. I had to argue back and forth with her for 2-3 days until she finally relented. FHA is insuring this lender against any and all loss on the loan.

They have given that lender an almost risk free way to make a decent profit on a mortgage. If they have given you specific instructions on how to negotiate a short sale, then follow those instructions!

Here is the bottom line. If the negotiator at the lender is lying to you, then ask for their manager. When you talk to their manager, explain how they are breaking the rules.

Tell them you may contact FHA and tell them that the lender is breaking the rules. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy CA – Many lenders ask for a promissory note on short sales. This is especially true if the lender has Private Mortgage Insurance (also called PMI) that has to approve the short sale.

The PMI companies know that homeowners will do anything to protect their credit when they are short selling their home.

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

To avoid a promissory note you must convince the negotiator at the PMI Company that you have not assets and no disposable income that can be used to pay them.

I ask to speak directly with the PMI negotiator. Don’t let your lender tell you that you are not allowed to talk to them. Don’t take no for an answer. If necessary, ask to speak with a supervisor at the lender.

The PMI companies know that if the home is foreclosed, then they will lose even more money when the home is sold after foreclosure. Keep this in mind.

Tell the employee that you will hold them accountable if the home is foreclosed and sells for less money after foreclosure.

We have seen a lot of lenders and PMI Companies turn down short sales, only to see the property sell for much less after it is foreclosed upon.

If you stick to your guns they will release the debt and allow you to walk away without a promissory note. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy CA – Another common type of loan that does not usually have a deficiency is a “Sliced and Diced” loan. A “Sliced and Diced” loan is a loan that has been securitized along with a bundle of other loans.

Here is how that happened. John gets a loan from ABC Bank. ABC Bank is running out of money to lend out. So, they sell 1,000 of their mortgages to Goldman Sachs.

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

Goldman then securitizes that bundle of 1,000 mortgages and sells of 50,000 shares of stock. Each piece of stock represents a small percentage of the bundle of 10,000 mortgages.

But, how does that affect whether or not you will have a deficiency on a short sale? First, the majority of “Sliced and Diced” loans that we have short sold released the seller from the deficiency.

This means that the short sale approval letter said that the homeowner was being forgiven of the debt. What about the people who are not specifically released from the deficiency?

The good news is that the vast majority move on with their life and never hear anything more from their lender. Time moves on and they forget about the debt.

The good news is that after a few years the statute of limitations kicks in and they are home free. Their lender no longer has the right to collect the money from them. Thinking about a short sale?

This information on Tracy Short Sale Deficiencies On “Sliced & Diced Loans? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Tracy CA – Another common type of loan that does not usually have a deficiency is a USDA loan. The USDA loan program was created to make it easier for people that lived in rural areas to buy their own home.

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

USDA stipulates that you must be at least 30 days behind on your payments before they will start the short sale process. This is different from most other loan programs.

I haven’t heard of another loan program where they specifically stipulate that you must be behind on the payments before they will consider a short sale.

The good news is that their short sale guidelines state that you won’t have a deficiency after completion of a short sale. Here is the text from their short sale guidelines:

” A borrower who successfully sells the property securing the loan using the Pre-Foreclosure Sale Option is relieved of the mortgage obligation. The borrower shall not be pursued for deficiency judgments by either the Servicer or the Agency.”

This is good news for anyone that has an USDA and wants to get out from under their upside down mortgage. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy CA – Another common type of loan that does not usually have a deficiency is a VA loan.

But, how do you determine whether or not you have an VA loan?

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

On your original mortgage, 1-4 pages past the signature page will be a VA Rider. At the top it will say “NOTICE: THIS LOAN IS NOT ASSUMABLE WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.”

That is a VA loan. The picture above is from a VA mortgage. The page for the VA mortgage was 2 pages below the original signature page of the mortgage.

The pages between this and the signature page had the notary’s signature and the legal description. You can get a copy of your mortgage from the public records in your county.

Most realtors will know how to look up this information. If not, then they will know a title company that can do the research for you.

A VA Short Sale is called a “Compromise Sale.” According to those guidelines, they will give a complete release if a seller participates in the short sale program, and there was no “fraud, misrepresentation, or bad faith” on the part of the homeowner.

The bad news is that you will not be eligible for another VA loan until you repay the VA for their loss. So you may not be able to get a VA loan in the future. Thinking about a short sale?
