How Does a Real Estate Short Sale Work?

Posted by webmaster on Jan 26, 2012 in Short Sale Arizona - Phoenix - Queen Creek | 0 comments

A real estate short sale involves getting a mortgage note holder on a piece of real estate agreeing to take less than the loan value as payment for releasing any claim on a property. Theoretically, a short sale could take place anytime, but in reality, it only occurs when a bank is losing money on a loan.

I once tried to do a short sale on a house that had 3 loans. The homeowner was in default on the first and second notes, but for some reason was paying the third lien holder on time every month. Even though the first lien holder was foreclosing, the bank holding the third position would not agree to a short sale. Somehow the banks internal rules procedures prevented them from acting on a short sale offer, even though they eventually lost 100% of their loan balance.

Once you have found an owner in default, you will have to get authorization from the owner to negotiate with the bank. In order to negotiate a real estate short sale you will need to find a phone number of the loss mitigation department of the bank. This often involves several phone calls, so don’t get discouraged. A specific person is usually assigned to each property and this is the person who can tell you what information is required for the short sale foreclosure process.

Once the loss mitigation contact has given you a list of information needed, you will have to return to the homeowner and start collecting the paperwork needed,. This can be a delicate process as much personal information is needed, such as:

W-2’s

bank statements

financial statements

In addition, you will need the homeowner to write a hardship letter to explain why they are behind in their mortgage payments.

Once you have collected all the information needed, fax the documents to the attention of the loss mitigation officer. Sometimes, you will have to do this more than once.

Then the waiting game starts. Banks are notoriously slow at acting on your purchase sale offer. They will likely request a BPO (brokers price opinion) and you will need the homeowners cooperation to gain access to the house.

After weeks of deliberation the bank may make a counter offer. Sometimes they are stubborn and think the property is worth more than you offered. If you have pictures of the house (inside and outside) detailing problems, you can sometimes negotiate a lower price.

Like any other offer you make, if the bank won’t accept it and you can’t negotiate a reasonable price, walk away.

I am here today to talk to you a little bit about short sales and tax ramifications. One of the issues that we hear quite frequently from potential customers is that they want to short sell their home, but are worried about the taxes they will have to pay after the sale. Maybe you have heard from other people that have done short sales that there were some tax liabilities and want to find out more.

The Mortgage Debt Relief Forgiveness Act, which ends at the end of 2012, permits homeowners, such as yourself, to not pay taxes on the forgiven amount if the property is their main residence and the selling price is less than $2.5million. If you are thinking about short selling your home, you need to act quickly because the transaction has to be completed by the end of the year in order to qualify for The Mortgage Debt Relief Forgiveness Act.

Please call us or fill out the form on our website, group4610shortsale.com, to find out more about this act or if you have questions about your specific situation. If you don’t qualify for this act, don’t let that stop you from short selling your propety. We have a few different ways to avoid paying taxes as well.

I know that you might have been told lots of tales about what to do and how to go about stopping the process, but this article shows you simple ways that will surely prove helpful in saving your home.

The answer is of course – YES, declaring bankruptcy can indeed stop foreclosure.
