Mortgage Modification and Short Sale for 2011

The process of getting a mortgage loan modification or a short sale will be simpler in 2011. Getting sandbagged by your mortgage servicer will become much less likely in 2011 – if you follow the new rules. I assisted distressed homeowners prepare their mortgage modification applications for several prominent and successful attorneys for eighteen months. The whole process changed this past June.

First, you need to know that mortgage modification is now a do-it-yourself mortgage modification. Same for do-it-yourself short sale. Any other search in Google, such as, avoid foreclosure, prevent foreclosure, foreclosure alternatives, or stop foreclosure should result in the same process.

There are two reasons for this new Process.

First, the banks have learned that they will not be held accountable for lack of good faith negotiations unless they file a foreclosure. No third party negotiator can get anything accomplished on your distressed mortgage that you can’t get done by yourself. Even the most accomplished mortgage attorneys get sandbagged by the lenders. Equal opportunity subterfuge.

Secondly, the new MARS Rule adopted by the Federal Trade Commission makes it unlikely that any third party negotiator can make a profit by assisting distressed homeowners. There’s no advantage to paying someone else to do what you can do by yourself.  This under-publicized new rule takes full effect at the end of January, 2011. I will show you how to negotiate your mortgage for free.

If you haven’t already, you need to separate mortgage servicer from mortgage investor for this exercise. Your mortgage servicer is little more than a bill collector. They’re the one that makes your life miserable by misinforming you, losing your paperwork, shredding your faxes, and foreclosing on you while you think you’re in the middle of negotiating your mortgage. Your mortgage investor, (and there may be as many as eight of them,) actually holds your mortgage note. Your mortgage servicer is legally responsible for communicating all mortgage negotiations. That point will be crucial in the mortgage modification process.
Getting a mortgage modification or a short sale with no mortgage deficiency is a two-step process.

First, after you are 45 days late, your mortgage servicer has calculated a Net Present Value, which is the point at which your mortgage investor and you, as a mutual solution, will benefit more from a mortgage modification or a short sale. Those are the only two options. Only your mortgage servicer benefits from a foreclosure, plus all the late fees and interest. That is the heart of our current mortgage scandal. Precise definition of establishing ‘Imminent Default’ was an oversight in the wording and enforcement of the “Home Affordable Mortgage Plan,” or HAMP, and the mortgage securitization mess that got us in this predicament to begin with. The REST Report overcomes that Imminent Default oversight.
The whole point of Net Present Value is to hold your mortgage servicer and investor accountable for their responsibility in this mess. It is the one unbiased calculation that balances the mortgage negotiation industry, and affords the homeowner a level playing field in mortgage negotiations.

You need to know however, that it is not necessary for you to miss any mortgage payments to demonstrate ‘Hardship,’ regardless of what your mortgage servicer tells you. That is either miscommunication or downright mortgage fraud. But your mortgage servicer will probably never get caught, as you will see.

Your mortgage servicer uses proprietary software to calculate Net Present Value. The REST Report is the same  software. This is a .8 million program. We have exclusive access. By submitting the REST Report with your supporting documents, you prove to your mortgage investor what is the best resolution to your ‘distressed mortgage.’ Again, mortgage modification or short sale are the only two remedies. The trick is to get your file in the hands of your mortgage investor, thereby avoiding all the treachery of your mortgage servicer.
Mortgage modification is not a refinance. Credit scores are not used to evaluate a modification. Mortgage modification is a re-writing of the terms of an existing mortgage so as to mitigate the effect of a troubled asset to both parties (homeowner and mortgage investor). Those modification terms follow a prescribed process and order of consideration, whether HAMP-eligible or conventional financing. Banks had a pre-existing modification process long before the Home Affordable Mortgage Plan. A general overview of typical mortgage modification terms can be seen at: www.http://mortgage-monster.com/calculate_mortgage_mod.html. The Bottom Line?: You should get a new ‘permanent’ monthly mortgage payment that is 31% of your new, stable, monthly income. The REST Report assures that and uses it as the starting point of calculations. Without the REST Report, your mortgage servicer will decide what they think you can afford per month. Again, you want to be in control of the mortgage modification process.

Ninety-nine percent of all REST Reports never get presented in court because the mortgage servicers know the game is up once they see it. But you need to be prepared for mortgage servicer stupidity, ineptness, or fraud from a position of strength. Knowing that the foreclosure courts recognize the REST Report as an unbiased calculation of Net Present Value ensures that the court will side with you. They always have.

Why? Because the mortgage servicers learned that no court will hold them accountable for being stupid. As long as they don’t foreclose on you, there’s no harm or foul. There is no reason to pay a third party to negotiate your mortgage, because they can’t get anything done that you can’t do yourself. I’ll show you. Only when they file a foreclosure can you, the distressed homeowner, stop them in court. Every bank has two separate departments that deal with ‘troubled assets.’ One is the Loss Mitigation Dept. and the other is the Foreclosure Dept. A foreclosure court will hold the mortgage servicer accountable so that they don’t foreclose on you behind your back. You stop them by proving that you are trying to negotiate a mutually beneficial solution to your ‘troubled asset.” You use the unbiased REST Report to prove those calculations to the court.

Secondly: To prove good faith to your mortgage investor, you mail every supporting document by certified mail, return receipt requested. These receipts become part of your file that you might submit as evidence in any court foreclosure defense that may arise. The sooner you file, the less fees the mortgage servicer can attach because you have proof that they received your documents/file. Translated: No faxes.

We have anecdotal evidence that one well-known lender had a fax machine in their Loss Mitigation office that fed directly to their shredder. That is no joke, either.

When you call your mortgage servicer, you will be simply talking to a call center. They will be reading a computer screen prepared for them by a Loss Mitigation Department that benefits by foreclosure and fees; not by mortgage modification or short sale. You will never, ever talk to an authority decision maker on the phone. Get your mortgage servicer’s mailing address, request a mortgage modification or short sale package and get off the phone. Anything else just wastes your time and increases your stress.

Again, you DO NOT have to miss mortgage payments to show “Imminent Default.” 
If you believe what you hear on the phone from your mortgage servicer, go out and talk your nearest tree. Same authority level. Your mortgage servicer is simply a bill collector, and the person on the phone is not a bank officer. You want to communicate with your mortgage investor. That means certified mail, Return Receipt Requested, period. Again, no faxes.
We have run almost 1500 REST Reports with astounding results, both in and out of court. If for some reason, your mortgage servicer ignores the incontrovertible calculations of the REST Report, a foreclosure court judge will not. Has not.

Just imagine your mortgage servicer in front of the judge: “Mr. Lender, are these your calculations, using your software?” Lender: “Yes judge, they are.” You have just proved lack of good faith on the part of your lender. Game over.

Just imagine your mortgage investor going to their mortgage insurer (Read FDIC): “So, Mr. Investor, calculations with your own software show that a mortgage modification or short sale was the best solution to this distressed mortgage. And you want us to pay you for this foreclosure? We don’t think so.” Game over. Your mortgage investor cannot prove that foreclosure was better than mortgage modification or short sale in order to collect their insurance on the ‘distressed mortgage.’

Your mortgage servicer is counting on your lack of knowledge and frustration so the mortgage investor can collect on the Loss Sharing Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. Your mortgage investor has nothing to lose.

Next, after you officially file your supporting documents, including the REST Report on top, call your local county Trustee and/or District Court once a month to make sure your foreclosure case is not on the docket. (You may be able to do this online, but it’s not anything to be left to chance.) Until it is, enjoy your free house. Your mortgage servicer WILL string you along with a promise of a mortgage modification and foreclose on you behind your back. We see it happen all the time. If it is on the docket, march right on down to your foreclosure court, contest the foreclosure, and file a copy of your entire file, (including certified mail receipts and REST Report on top,) as evidence in your foreclosure defense. Watch your delinquent fees and interest melt away.

Picture this: Your judge lives in your district. You have just submitted the bank’s own recognized and unbiased calculations, with proof of submission to the lender, (Read: good faith). Again, the results have been spectacular, both in and out of foreclosure court. Game over.

Lastly, in my two years of assisting distressed homeowners file their mortgage modification or short sale applications, I have found a spectacular hardship letter template. No one can or should write your hardship letter for you. But there are proven aspects to that letter that get results. It’s required as part of your application, and I know those aspects. Believe it or not, this is a human endeavor. You just have to get to a decision-making authority with an offer they can’t refuse. Heh. Reminds me of a movie I once saw.

Closing caveats:

You may or may not need, or want, legal counsel in your mortgage modification or short sale journey. But there’s plenty of time for that later. And you’ll assuredly save money anyway by doing the REST Report research for your attorney anyway. Forensic loan audits are a separate consideration also.

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Assistance. or HAFA, provision of HAMP (Home Affordable Mortgage Plan) has been a miserable failure.  An experienced mortgage investor will be much more adept at negotiating your mortgage deficiency. Mortgage servicers do all they can to sandbag investors because they want all the distressed mortgage profits to themselves. The REST Report takes all those travestys away from them and allows you to do what is in your best interest. Once you commit to HAFA, there’s no escape. There are no reports of satisfied homeowners that I can find; and many, many reports of RE agents that regret it. HAFA was written by the banks. ‘Nuff said.

If you have heard of the MERS computer, or the computer that calculates and securitizes almost all of the mortgages in the U. S. today, you need to know that a computer cannot foreclose. A human being must show up to foreclosure court to present the mortgage holder’s foreclosure case. The REST Report will take all precedence in any case presented by your mortgage servicer. This appears to be at the center of the ‘Foreclosuregate’ or ‘Robosigner’ scandal. Game over.

A mortgage deficiency is the difference between the current mortgage balance in a short sale, which will include late fees and interest piled on by your mortgage servicer; and the selling price at closing. You, the seller, will be held accountable for that deficiency for 7 to 10 years after the closing. The only opportunity you have to negotiate your mortgage deficiency is before closing on your property.

You can recover from the credit implications of a short sale by lease-optioning another house for two years and by then be in a position to purchase it. Deed-in-Lieu and foreclosure will stick with you for 7-10 years. With just a little effort, you can keep your property and credit score damage to a minimum.

http://www.fhamortgagefhaloan.com/

Compensating Factors

On FHA home loans where the ratio exceeds FHA guidelines (other that Approved/Eligible findings), the underwriter must list on the MCAW the compensating factors that lead to the approval of the FHA home loan. Any compensating factor used to justify mortgage approval must be supported by documentation. The following are a list of eligible factors per FHA home loan approvals:

 A. The borrower has successfully demonstrated the ability to pay housing expenses equal to or greater than the proposed monthly housing expense for the new mortgage over the past 12-24 months.

 B. The borrower makes a large down payment (ten percent or more toward the purchase of the property.

 C. The borrower has demonstrated an ability to accumulate savings and a  conservative attitude toward the use of credit.

 D. Previous credit history shows that the borrower has the ability to devote a greater portion of income to housing expenses. 

E. The borrower receives documented compensation or income not reflected in effective income, but directly affecting the ability to pay the mortgage, including food stamps and similar public benefits.

 F. There is only a minimal increase in the borrower(s)housing expense.

 G. The borrower has substantial documented cash reserves (at least three months= worth or payments) after closing. In determining if an asset can be included as cash reserves or cash to close, the lender must judge whether or not the asset is liquid or readily convertible to cash and can be done so absent retirement or job termination.

  H. The borrower has substantial nontaxable income (if no adjustment was made previously in the ratio computations).

 I. The borrower has a potential for increased earnings, as indicated by job training or education in the borrower=s profession.

 J. The home is being purchased as a result of relocation of the primary wage earner, and the secondary wage-earner has an established history of employment, is expected to return to work, and reasonable prospects exist for securing employment in a similar occupation in the new area. The underwriter must document the availability of such possible employment.

Finding a way out of debt

When you are in debt it is the easiest thing in the world to imagine that there is no problem and go on about your business, but this is the worst thing that you can do. Before you know it, your debt problems will have escalated and you will be in more trouble than you were in the first place.

The best thing you can possibly do is to find a company online who can help you with your problems. There are some online companies that can give you a free Debt Management Plan which will help you to stay in control of your debts. You will also find that these companies will act on your behalf and contact the people who you owe money to, and try to find a way so that you don’t have to pay so much to them every month. They will then calculate all of the money you are paying out every month, and have you pay this figure to them on an agreed date once a month so that you only have to think about one payment. They will then make all of the payments for you, and unbelievably this service is free! This is called debt consolidation and it can be the best way to sort out your debt problems.

You should find that after a few months your life is a lot easier to lead. You will have more expendable income and it will be easier for you to keep on top of your debts. By this point your debt problems should be well behind you.

Mortgage Options in Australia

There are many mortgage options available in Australia; home owners could be forgiven for feeling somewhat confused on the issue of which home loan would best suit them. However, once a home loan broker is consulted he will be able to help you sort through the maze. Mortgage brokers are trained to know what products are available from which lenders and once you have given the broker all your details, he will be sure to find a suitable mortgage.

You may even have a loan, but are thinking of mortgage refinancing to get a better deal. Financial advisors will be able to help you here. They may also advise you to take out income protection so that if something happens and you are unable to continue working, you will not lose your home.

Those who have home loans in Sydney may also consider life insurance in Sydney as a way of protecting the home if they or their partner should suffer a fatal accident or disease. While no one likes to think about such things, they do happen and the remaining spouse is left at risk of losing the home due to inability to meet the mortgage payments.

In fact, trauma insurance may also be something to provide peace of mind. This is a cash payout if you have been diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses such as heart attack, cancer or stroke. There are many more illnesses included, but the exact diseases will depend on the insurer. Life insurance does not pay out for an illness suffered where the person will probably go back to work in a few years. Meantime, you still need to pay bills, so trauma insurance will help.

There is also key man insurance which is designed to protect a business if one of the key employees becomes ill and cannot work, or dies suddenly. Key man insurance is paid to the business; not the individual.

What Lenders Look For: Good Credit Improves your Mortgage Negotiations

Contrary to what you may think, you don’t manage your credit applications and payments in a vacuum. Your credit behavior (as some have learned the hard way) is tracked by credit bureaus such as Equifax Canada and TransUnion of Canada.

This information is tabulated, and then you are assigned a credit rating. It’s important for you to maintain as high a rating as possible. The following information shows you how you can be sure to earn a good score, and why it’s so important to do so.

Lenders Have Access To This Information.

Think about it. When you decide to apply for a mortgage for a home purchase, or a hefty loan for home renovation – don’t you want A+ right up there beside your good name?

Your Good Name Is Really What It’s All About.

In the financial world, your credit profile is your reputation. If you have a good record, it means smooth sailing ahead for you. If your record isn’t all it should be, you might be in for a bit of rough weather when it comes to acquiring the monies you need — at the interest rates you want.

Your Payment History.

Credit card debt — is one of the most important factors considered when your score is being tabulated. Any missed, late, or neglected payments are duly noted. Not only does a prompt payment history buff your credit image — it saves you money in interest, and assures a quicker retiring of that debt too.

Timeliness Of Payments.

Actual amount of payments, the state of your credit card balances versus credit available, the number of cards you own, the frequency of your requests for more credit – These are just some of the tidbits of personal financial information that make up your credit profile. This comprehensive history is compiled to show lenders how reliable a debt risk you are. To put it simply they want to know whether or not you are credit worthy.

Your credit score is established with a mathematical formula.

Various factors are weighed and balanced and given a certain percentage value towards your final score. Credit bureaus also take into consideration — in addition to factors already mentioned — your existing debt burden, your actual and potential income (remember you do give out these details when you apply for credit), your debt to income ratio, your past financial problems (any bankruptcy or foreclosure remains a long time on record), your job stability -

essentially any piece of public information that helps build an accurate as possible risk assessment of you as debtor.

Your Credit Rating Is A Fluid And An Ever-Changing Thing.

It is dependent upon your present financial circumstances and any actions you make. The credit bureaus always follow your money trail. Because the formation of your profile is an on going thing, it’s vital for you to consistently practice reliable and responsible debt handling. The good news? The ever-changing quality of your credit rating allows you to continually aim for a higher score. Think of your rating — not as a burden — but as a challenge and an opportunity.

Infrequent Requests For Additional Credit?

That’s a really good sign to a lender. Keep in mind that mortgage and loan shopping won’t impact you negatively if it’s done in a concentrated time period. The credit bureaus interpret this flurry of activity positively — as long as it doesn’t occur too frequently. You want to look savvy, not desperate.

How Much Plastic Is Too Much?

Too many credit cards red flag you to potential lenders. Limit your cards to three or four, and try to maintain longtime use of at least one card. This is a key way to build up an excellent credit history. The amount of credit you use, versus credit available, is really telling too. Keep your balances low.

It’s Your Right To Pull Up Your Credit Report Profile.

This is something that is in your interest to do so. (You can do this online at www.equifax.com). Experts advise you to check it out at least once a year. Doing so gives you the opportunity to correct any errors or misinformation that may be there. Practice reliable and responsible debt management.

Then, when you do actually need money for a major undertaking (like the purchase of a home), your credit rating will be an asset, not a liability.

Homeowners Foresee Long-term Mortgage Commitment

More than a third of homeowners predict they will be nearing retirement before they own their own home, new research suggests.

Responding to a One Account survey, 36 per cent of homeowners predicted they would be at least 60-years-olds before they paid off their mortgage.

A further 20 per cent didn’t expect to fully pay off their mortgage until some time in their 50s, with many also complaining that mortgage commitments were impeding on other areas of their life.

More than two in five claimed not to be able to save because of their mortgage, while nearly one in five 25 to 29-year-olds said it was forcing them to delay starting a family.

However, Debbie Milsom from One Account questioned why homeowners were finding their mortgage such a burden.

Paying off a mortgage should not mean that people have to put their life plans on hold, Ms Milsom said.

She added: It is worrying that homeowners perceive that it will take them until they are in their 60s before they pay it off when they should be spending this time preparing financially for their futures.

Ms Milsom reminded homeowners that there are often flexible solutions for managing payments.

Homeowners with overly expensive payments may also find remortgaging can help to reduce their monthly commitment.

As less people are putting money into pensions, more could begin looking at remortgaging to ensure economic stability during their later years.

Figures released by Moneyfacts have shown that personal pension returns have fallen by as much as a half in the last decade.

The news means that even if Britons are putting the same amount of money into their pension pot every year, their average with-profits pension fund could be half what it would have been in 1996.

These latest figures should serve as a powerful reminder that securing a comfortable retirement will only be possible for those individuals who actively monitor and manage their own pension provision, warned Richard Eagling, editor of Investment, Life & Pensions at Moneyfacts.

The research from Moneyfacts could cause more people to consider other options of financing their retirement, with taking out a remortgaging and downsizing their homes one method to increase the amount of money available in later life.
