This is one of those areas that are so unique, you won’t find anywhere like it from San Diego to Santa Barbara-I know I’ve looked…hard! And one of the most favorite things I like to do when I have about 3 hours is to go on a long hike and just enjoy clean air, strenuous work and feeling like I did when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Isabella to the Oregon border back in ‘79. It’s amazing that these trails, in my “own back yard”, provide that euphoria! I want you to experience this same joy too!

Palos Verdes Short Sale Homes Information
Palos Verdes Short Sale Major Update Even if a short sale doesn’t apply to you, chances are you know someone for whom a short sale might be a good idea. And if you do, there are two very critical issues that such a person must know about to help with their Palos Verdes short sale or South Bay short sale. First of all the the Mortgage Debt Relief Act expires on December 31, 2012. Prior to the passage of this Act, debt relief resulting from a foreclosure or a short sale was considered income by the IRS. For example, let’s say the loan on the house was $1,000,000 but the house was sold as a short sale for $850,000. That difference of $150,000 was a taxable event to the homeowner! However after passage of the Act, both the State of California and the Feds caused this “gift” to not be a taxable event. Unless it is extended, this benefit expires very, very soon so the very real benefits to doing a short sale, will disappear! So if you are considering a short sale or if you know someone that should, time is of the essence! Now the second piece of information is really exciting! Breaking news: June 1, 2012, the 3 major credit reporting agencies have announced they will change the impact of short sales on a borrower’s credit (assuming they missed no payments and weren’t late) to a ‘neutral’ . Meaning little to no negative credit ramifications. This is HUGE. Quoting from the Harris Real Estate Training Center: Q. Can I do a short sale even if I am current on my payments and can afford the payments? Breaking news: June 1, 2012, the 3 major credit reporting agencies have announced they will change the impact of short sales on a borrower’s credit (assuming they missed no payments and weren’t late) to a ‘neutral’ . Meaning little to no negative credit ramifications. Translated: If you didn’t miss any payments prior to the short sale you won’t have a credit hit. Even better, the standards to obtain a mortgage following a short sale have changed dramatically. If you didn’t miss ANY payments prior to the short sale it is possible to get another mortgage immediately. Yes, you read that correctly. Short Sale today…buy today. Generally speaking, if you did miss payments prior to your short sale you will have to wait as little as 18-24 months before securing another mortgage. So, bottom line, the time to act is now. When you have questions, give me a call and let’s talk about this AND if you are interested in understanding the benefits as an INVESTOR in the short sale arena, let’s set an appointment to discuss this. You can use the article in the yellow button below to start thinking about this.

Palos Verdes Foreclosure Auctions
Foreclosure auctions in Palos Verdes, South Torrance and the Beach Cities What are the opportunities for Investors, Home Buyers and Homeowners Upside Down in their Mortgages
What are the Advantages of a Short Sale to the Upside Down Homeowner?
HOWEVER the window for conducting a short sale without tax penalty is quickly drawing near! The benefits created from the 2007 Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 EXPIRE on 12/31/2012. Homeowners upside down in their mortgages must NOT wait as if one waits too long into the 2012 year, the short sale may not close in time to satisfy the deadline!
What are the Advantages of a Short Sale to the Investor or Home Buyer? When I’m asked by my Buying Clients and Investors how best to take advantage of the “Foreclosure Market”, the preconception is that the Bank Owned homes are the properties wherein the greatest discounts can be achieved. This is not the case. There is so much scrutiny and oversight from government agencies and the banks’ investors that the banks selling an REO Property are just as motivated as any other “Mr. and Mrs. Homeowner” to extract the highest price possible. In fact, when I’m calling bank REO Asset managers, I’m getting the standard response (from all the banks), “…sorry, we can’t consider any offers until the property’s been on the MLS for at least 5 days…” The banks KNOW that the best chance to get the highest price is to have maximum exposure through the multiple listing service. So that leaves the Home Buyer or Investor two choices … either go to the auction and try to buy (you will need cash, you won’t be able to inspect the property and you may not get clear title) OR use the strategy that I’ve developed to negotiate with the Homeowner. What we’re doing is creating WIN – WIN situations for all parties and if you would like to know more, DO NOT REPLY to this email, rather send me an email to george.fotion@homeispalosverdes.com. So whether you are a homeowner upside down in your mortgage, or you’re an investor or buyer or know someone in either category that could really benefit from this, send me an email and we will set an appointment to discuss further. By the way, the map above shows just the Single Family Residences. There are a few, just a handful, but a few Multi-Family units (apartments, duplexes, triplexes and quads) As always, thank you for reading your newsletter! |
