Tracy Short Sales: What Else Goes Into a Hardship Letter?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – You should put every little thing you have to show that your situation is real and that you cannot afford to make your mortgage payment.

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

Use numbers and percentages to explain the loss your of income or negative cash flow. For example, instead of saying “I’m borrowing money to make the mortgage payments”, disclose the dollar amount and source of that debt.

A good example would be: “I’ve borrowed $10,000 against my VISA card to make my payments over the past 6 months, and I have tapped my cards to the maximum.”

You need to paint the worst picture that you honestly can. If your car needs maintenance or repair, if the cat has cancer and your vet bills are increasing, if your kids are starving to death on peanut butter sandwiches, or and your fingernails are worn to the quick scrubbing other people’s floors for pennies a day, then put it into your hardship letter.

Use simple words that anyone can understand. The people reading these hardship letters are real people. If they don’t feel sorry for you by the time they have finished reading, then maybe you need to re-write it. Thinking about a short sale?

I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail atfrank@thesilveriateam.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 209.835.9300

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. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

Tracy Short Sales: Don’t Be Afraid To Tell The Truth In Your Hardship Letter

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – It is not a lot of fun to write a hardship letter. In fact, it can be depressing. Many people may not know how bad their lives have become until they reach a point of writing a hardship letter.

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

Sometimes seeing all those awful things in writing is startling and some people start crying. However, do not turn and start talking about how your life will improve.

Do “NOT” share your hopes and dreams for the future with the bank. It’s none of the bank’s business.

If there is hope on the horizon, if there is a chance for recovery and for you to become whole again, then the bank will not hesitate to grab a knife and plunge it into your heart.

If your bank senses anything that shows that you might have the financial means at some point in the future to repay part of that debt, then the bank will jump on it like hot fudge on a sundae.

The bank doesn’t care about you or protecting your precious credit rating. So do everything you can to clue them into the harsh reality of your situation. Let them know that you have thought of bankruptcy.

Most people think of bankruptcy for just a second and then try to shove the thought into the back of their head. But, let your bank know that you have thought about bankruptcy.

After all there is nothing that scares them more than bankruptcy. They know it allows you to walk away from your debt. It also makes them much more willing to negotiate with you. If you are on the brink of bankruptcy, then you’ve got a story the bank can listen to.

Do not be afraid to be truthful and tell that story. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales: The Basics Behind a Hardship Letter

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – When I interview sellers who want to short sale in my area, I ask them to describe their hardship.

Agents who do a lot of short sales can sometimes become a little insensitive because we are focused on the statistics. For instance, when a seller says she is getting divorced, it’s possible that I may not show a lot of emotion.

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

Then I realize how that comes across, which is not at all in the way I intended it. Trying to do a short sale or loan mod because of relationship difficulties is acceptable to most bank guidelines.

It’s not good news that the you and your spouse are splitting up. But, it is important for your lender to know. In your hardship letter, you want to explain 3 things:

1. How you got into your present situation – If for example you have missed mortgage payments state what caused this to happen. Was it due to job loss? Medical or some kind of family emergency? You need to be sure that the dates of the missed payments correspond to the circumstance that caused you to not make your mortgage payments. Use dates to references the times in which hardships happened to you.

2. What you have done to try to get out this situation – state the activities that you have undertaken to try and change your current situation.

3. Why this situation is permanent and nothing you can do will change it.

Try to incorporate those three things into your hardship letter. It will make your situation look more sympathetic. Thinking about a short sale?

What Constitutes A Hardship On A Tracy Short Sale?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – Many people think a hardship is mainly based on financial matters and that is not necessarily the case.

Anything that makes it difficult for you to keep on making a mortgage payment might qualify to be a hardship.

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

One thing that the bank doesn’t want to see is a homeowner who seems to be looking for a way out simply because the home is not worth the amount the owner paid for it.

Being upside-down is one of the qualifications for a short sale but a bank may not grant a short sale solely on that basis.

If your life looks unchanged since you took the loan, the bank might say you can afford to stay in your home at your present payment level. If your situation has changed, here are some examples that may qualify for a hardship:

1. Unemployment.

2. Reduced income. Furloughs, a new job, a partner’s loss of a job, or a pay cut are examples.

3. Illness or medical emergency.

4. A Job transfer. (voluntary or involuntary)

5. Divorce, separation or marital difficulties.

6. Exotic mortgage terms (an adjustable-rate loan that adjusts and you cannot afford the new payment.)

7. Military service.

8. Death in the family.

9. Incarceration.

10. Increased expenses and excessive debt.

11. Unexpected repairs or home maintenance.

I can help you put together a good hardship letter that will help you qualify for a short sale. Thinking about a short sale?
