Often times I will get inquiries about how to market borrowers that are late on their mortgage, but have not incurred an official Notice of Default. Their main interest is that the Notice of Default lists that they are using for marketing are not converting well for them. Nearly all of the time bad closing ratios are ascribed to the data becoming public at a certain point. In which case the market gets inundated with telephone calls, mail and circulars.

The bank that holds the second mortgage is reviewing our offer! This is great, because they are the ones who need to decide if they will take less money than what is owed. Hopefully we hear soon!

When you’re bullish (think prices will rise) on the market or a stock, you go long (buy and hold, one day sell). When you’re bearish (think prices will fall), you go short, (sell and hold, one day buy). People often think you can only ‘buy and sell’ shares, well, you can also ’sell then buy’ and that basically describes what happens when you ’short’ a stock, often people think ’short selling’ means you don’t hold the stock for long, as in ‘I bought Lloyds at 65p and sold the next day for 70p’, in that case you just didn’t ‘go long’, trading rapidly is not what short selling is, or is about (I only say this because it’s a thing I have been asked a few times).

by Britnee Nguyen Are you a homeowner that is in a mortgage bind? Some are unable to get out of their mortgage payments because they simply can’t sell their homes. Get out of your mortgage bind by renting out your home. Use rental property management companies to help find you a tenant and handle all the finances and legal issues for you.

Frequently I will get inquiries about how to market clients that are past on their deed, but have not incurred an official Notice of Default. Their main concern is that the NOD lists that they are using for selling are not converting well for them. The reason those listings tend not to close well is because once the client information becomes public they are stuffed with telephone calls and direct mail. The next greatest matter is that many times once an NOD has been issued, the borrower might have already vacated the property.

by Wendy Polisi As todays real estate market continues to decline, more and more people are struggling to get full value for their home. Rather than reducing your price, selling with a Lease Option or Lease Purchase can be a good decision. There are many reasons that you might need to sell your home quickly.

Rather than take a loss on their home, many are choosing to sell with a Lease Option or Rent to Own contract. The need to sell a home quickly can arise for multiple reasons.

Megan and I were coming home from an evening at Spyhouse (me desperately writing a paper for a conference, a sad excuse for a paper; Megan reading) and caught the end of The Story on our glorious Minnesota Public Radio. This is what it was about: Jessica Zichichi and her husband Sal have held onto good jobs – their problem is the housing market. Jess and Sal were living in a small house in Cape Cod that they loved. Then Sal took a job in South Carolina. It was 2006 and they figured they could easily sell the house.

So there’s this new law affecting the real estate and mortgage industry, called the HVCC – short for “Home Valuation Code of Conduct”, which went into effect last month, and is the byproduct of a legal settlement between NY attorney general Andrew Cuomo and Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Here’s how it was “supposed” to help: to assure appraisers that they would not be unduly influenced by lenders in the appraisal process. Here’s where it proverbially, “sucks”: costs rose, and accuracy in appraisals took a nosedive.
