Understanding The PaperworkAugust 31st, 2010

Author: admin

Many properties, whether residential or business, are slowly disappearing due to foreclosure. The best way to avoid this from happening to you is to understand documents pertaining to your  mortgage loan and foreclosure including the mortgage, promissory note and a deed of trust.

What are Mortgages?

'The term mortgage, or mortgage loan as it is normally called, is associated with foreclosure. In a sense, when a loan's maturity date is reached without payment of both the principal amount and interest, then foreclosure is imminent for that property or business.

A mortgage is using a property, whether real estate or commercial, to be used as a security for payment of a debt, or a mortgage loan. Normally, a mortgage loan is used to refinance a business or to be used as a basis for home improvement. When done, a contract, or a mortgage, will then be made by the lender containing the information of the said property, the amount loaned and the interest rate incurred by the principal amount, and the maturity date.

When the borrower fails to pay the exact amount as stated in the mortgage, then they may issue a promissory note requesting the lender to extend the maturity date.

Promissory Note and what's in it?

A promissory note is simply defined as a note or a contract which specifies detailed terms regarding the payment of a debt from the borrower to the lender. The note contains the amount owed by the borrower to the lender, the interest rate and the deadline for the payment or maturity date. A promissory note is also very useful for the purpose of tax and record keeping of the said transaction since it can be honored as a legal document.

A promissory note is used when the borrower fails to pay the agreed amount on time and requests an extension. If the lender agrees, then the promissory note will become a contract regarding the promised payment, and can be used in any legal proceeding during the time of foreclosure of judicial sale.

There are two kinds of promissory notes being used to date; one is the normal promissory note which contains the above information, and the demand promissory note which contains the same information as above yet no deadline of payment is stated. One catch of using a demand promissory note is that the lender can demand the payment from borrower at any time they see fit. Normally, the lender will inform the borrower in advance concerning the date of payment.

The concept of a Deed of Trust and a lien

A deed of trust is simply an attached document which serves as a security interest by the borrower to the lender to be able to pay for a certain debt or a loan. Usually, a deed of trust is considered a lien rather than a stipulation stating a transfer of title of the property from the borrower to the lender.

Also, liens can also be considered as a non-possessory security interests which grants the lender from holding or securing the said property without resulting to a sale until the debt is paid.

A deed of trust is often used since the cost is less compared to an actual mortgage contract. The deed is a non-judicial document and only contains the agreement between the borrower and the lender. Also, using a deed of trust is much more preferable by the lender since the process of foreclosure can be sped up from 1 year to a mere 3 months.

If you can't pay the mortgage payment in full by the maturity date then you can initiate a promissory note between you and the lender to extend the time of payment. You may also use a deed of trust or a lien when you don't want your property to be sold during foreclosure, which will give you ample time to get your property back as stipulated in the deed or lien.

Keep All Written Documentation

In applying for a mortgage loan, it is always important to keep a close eye on your documents pertaining to the said transaction; and knowing the importance of each can give you the elbow room that you need to maneuver your property away from foreclosure.

BankruptcyAugust 28th, 2010

Author: admin

In most instances  in the United States, bankruptcy may be a solution to starting fresh  when the debtor is unable to pay his financial obligations in full. This applies equally to a homeowner facing mortgage foreclosure. To find out if bankruptcy may be a method to stop a foreclosure, we first need to know about bankruptcy and the different kinds that make it applicable to your particular situation.
What is Bankruptcy?

In legal terms, bankruptcy is simply defined as the inability of an individual to pay his/her creditors. Most individuals, who are unable to fulfill their financial obligation to their creditors, or lenders, file for bankruptcy to get a fresh start from their debts. Another definition of bankruptcy is liquidating the assets of the debtor to release them from their liabilities or financial obligations.

There are two kinds of bankruptcy known in any court system. One is the involuntary bankruptcy wherein the lender or the creditor will file the bankruptcy petition against the debtor in court when they are unable to pay off their debts in full. The reason for this is because the lender will simply try to recoup the amount owed to them by the borrower and try get a marginal income from the amount they have somewhat invested to the debtor.

Voluntary bankruptcy on the other hand is when the debtor initiates the petition on their own. One reason for this is the inability of the debtor to pay off the amount owed to the creditor in full, or will try to get out of the financial obligation by declaring in court their state of financially deficiency.

Bankruptcy chapters

There are two kinds of bankruptcy that a debtor can file in court, a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Each has their own criteria and processes that fit in the situation of the debtors position.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy opts for the liquidation of the said property to cover the debt to the creditor. Also, by using this method, the debtor will have some of the proceeds left from the sale of the property to start all over again. The Chapter 13 bankruptcy on the other hand is simply reorganizing the debt in which the creditor will give three to five years for the debtor to pay the amount due.

But be warned that not all debts are covered by bankruptcy; common debts that bankruptcy can be a solution for is credit card debts, unsecured loans and medical bills. It is always best to consult a lawyer or a financial adviser when you plan to use bankruptcy as solution to your problems.

Qualification

Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy is not as easy as filing it out directly in court. Each has its own intricacies and qualifications that should fit the situation of the debtor. If you are willing to loose all your assets in settling your debt then liquidation through Chapter 7 bankruptcy would be the best option.

But if the collateral is a business property and the status is booming, then it is best to settle for a Chapter 13. if you are lucky, you may get an approval along with a five year extension to pay off the full, or remaining, amount of your debt.

It has also been noted in the US government that anyone who has already filed a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy within the last 6 years are not allowed to file the same method again.

If in doubt, consult a professional

When in doubt about choosing bankruptcy as the ultimate solution for your financial woes, then it is best to consult a bankruptcy attorney. These professional can provide insights, as well as suggestions regarding possible solutions to your problems.

If bankruptcy is your final option in the matter, then it is best to consult if a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy would suit you best. There are certain prohibitions in law stating that even if an individual files for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it is quite possible to retain some, if not all, of their assets. So consulting a lawyer is your best option if you want to make most out of the situation.

California Judicial Foreclosure ProcessAugust 28th, 2010

Author: admin

Florida Foreclosures

Foreclosures happen in Florida when an individual or group is severely delinquent in payments or can no longer make payments on their mortgage. Any number of situations can contribute to the foreclosure process beginning: an injury preventing work, the loss of a job, a divorce or other financial strains. Foreclosure is the process of the bank or lending institution getting the property back and reselling it to recoup their money.

Florida is a judicial state. This means that all foreclosures must use the court system for processing. Since banks differ and the courts are involved, the foreclosure process timeline varies slightly between individual cases. The average time frame is five to six months from the beginning steps until the finalization of a foreclosure.

Steps Taken to Foreclosure

The first steps fall under the pre-foreclosure period. The mortgage holder is late with payment, but remain in the property while the foreclosure proceedings progress.

Notice of Default

The Notice of Default is the first indication of late payment. It is a written notice sent to the mortgage holder by the mortgage lender. It will state how much money is owed and how late the payment is. A Notice of Default will state what you need to do in order to become current on your payments and prevent foreclosure from happening.

Lis Pendes

Lis Pendes is paperwork filed by the mortgage lender in the county courthouse. It states their intention to sue the property owners if they do not receive the mortgage monies. The court then creates the paperwork that notifies all parties involved about the upcoming lawsuit and the terms.

Action

Notice of Action is the next step in the foreclosure process. When a mortgage holder cannot pay the terms stated in the Notice of Default and goes further in delinquency, a Notice of Action is posted in the local newspaper. It states the mortgage lender's written demands to be paid on their loan and their intent to take back the property if the payment is not made.

Once the Notice of Action is posted, the formal foreclosure process takes place.

Foreclosure Action

A foreclosure action, which is a lawsuit filed under the county where the property is located, is made. This states the intent of the mortgage company to evict the residents and take over ownership of the property. They will post the date and time of the auction where the property will be sold, anywhere from three to six weeks in the future.

Redemption

At any time before the auction of the property, the mortgage holder can take back the property if they can pay off the mortgage in full. If they can pay for the mortgage in full, the proceedings are halted and the mortgage holders can move in and re-assume ownership of the property.

Sheriff's Sale

The last step of the foreclosure process is the Sheriff's sale. This is where the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder at the county courthouse. The price is low to begin, but can escalate if it is in a hot location. Once another bidder has won the auction and the property, the former mortgage holder has terminated all of their rights to the property. Within ten days of the successful sale, the title is transferred to the winning bidder.

Obama Foreclosure Plan DetailsAugust 22nd, 2010

Author: admin

Obama Foreclosure Plan Details

The Federal Government has set aside $75 billion dollars to help struggling homeowners with a loan modification program so they can avoid foreclosure. The goal is to help 5 to 6 million families get a lower mortgage payment so they can afford to stay in their home. This plan is not for everyone-find out if you may qualify for help by learning the formula your bank will use.

Who qualifies for this loan modification program? Here are some general guidelines for eligibility:

  • Homeowners must live in the property as their primary residence
  • Loan must have been originated prior to January 1, 2009
  • Not required to be delinquent on payments, but must demonstrate financial hardship now or in the near future
  • Must be able to provide proof of income and have a current mortgage payment that is greater than 31% of your gross monthly income
  • Loan amounts of $729,750 or less for 1 unit properties-higher for 2-4 units

What are the primary features that will be offered to qualified homeowners to arrive at an affordable payment based on 31% of their gross monthly income?

  1. Reduce interest rates to as lower as 2%
  2. Extend loan terms to 40 years
  3. Principal reduction with the Government sharing in the costs with lenders

What is the formula the lenders will use to determine who qualifies?

  1. Arrive at a target payment by multiplying the gross monthly household income by 31%
  2. Subtract the monthly costs for homeowners insurance, property taxes, and any homeowners dues = the new principal and interest payment
  3. Using the current loan amount, reduce the interest rate to as low as 2%, extend the term to 40 years and if necessary defer or forgive some principal balance to achieve the target payment
  4. If the target payment can be reached using the standard methods of modification, then the homeowner is a good candidate for assistance.

While this loan modification program is voluntary, most lenders and servicers are expected to participate. The Federal government is offering financial incentives in the form of $500 payments to servicers and $1500 to mortgage holders that offer a loan modification program to their borrowers as well an annual payments. In addition, homeowners who stay current on their new modified loan will be given a monetary incentive for each year they remain current, for a total of $5000 at the end of 5 years.

A successful homeowner will understand what paperwork will be needed to submitted to their lender and, just as importantly, how to complete their paperwork properly so the loan modification application is processed quickly.  You can use the very same formula your lender will use to pre-qualify yourself and adjust your budget before the bank reviews your application. 

Learn more details about the formula, target payment and get the help you need to apply and qualify for a loan modification by ordering and downloading the best selling handbook for homeowners, The Complete Loan Modification Guide. This is a low cost, easy to read home edition loan mod kit that will provide you with everything you need to prepare a professional and acceptable loan modification application. You are provided with all of the necessary forms and given detailed directions on how to complete them properly. The Complete Loan Modification Guide will take you step by step through calculating your debt ratio, completing the financial statements, writing your hardship letter and then putting it all together to submit to your lender. Learn how to apply and qualify for the Obama federal program too. Get started today on the path to secure home ownership, order and download The Complete Loan Modification Guide.

Foreclosure Crisis In AmericaAugust 13th, 2010

Author: admin

Foreclosure Crisis In America

For the last few years, cleaning businesses have dominated the list of best small business opportunities for those looking to become self employed. Below is a host of reasons why. But first, let's get to some hard and fast numbers about why foreclosure cleaning is a smart business choice -- no matter what the economy is doing.

More Foreclosures Coming in 2010; Maybe Even Topping 2009 Numbers

The foreclosure crisis started in the fall of 2007. It was largely driven by subprime mortgages, ie, mortgages given to those with marginal credit who started to default on those loans.

Fast forward to 2009. Now, home foreclosures are largely driven by a loss of jobs. Currently, unemployment in America stands at 10.2 percent. This is the most widespread it's been for 26 years. This means homeowners who had no part in the subprime mortgage mess are starting to lose their homes.

Proof?

A Nov 19, 2009 article in the LA Times, Mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, hit a new high states:

"One in seven U.S. home loans were past due or in foreclosure during the third quarter [2009], the Mortgage Bankers Assn. said... Consistent with recent quarterly delinquency surveys from the trade group, today's report blamed job losses, not tricky adjustable-rate loans, for causing most of the pain."

In a separate article on the same day, Foreclosures hitting more people with prime loans, the paper noted:

"About 4 million homeowners were either in foreclosure or at least three months behind on their mortgage payments as of September [2009], according to the mortgage bankers group."

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, foreclosures are likely to surge right on through the end of next year. And it makes sense. Until the economy starts to: (i) stop bleeding jobs; (ii) create new jobs; and (iii) more Americans dig out of debit, this crisis will be with us, unfortunately, for some times to come.

And, this means opportunity for those who've always dreamed of owning a business.

Why Foreclosure Clean Up Is a Smart Small Business Choice No Matter What the Economy Is Doing

Four of the Top 10 Fastest Growing franchise opportunities in 2009 were some type of cleaning company. This is according to a leading online site for entrepreneurs. These companies occupied the number 1, 4, 8 and 10 spots. They are:

1. Jan-Pro Franchising International: Commercial Cleaning Company;

4. Stratus Building Solutions: Commercial cleaning;

8. Bonus Building Care: Commercial cleaning; and

10. Vanguard Cleaning Systems: Commercial cleaning.

FYI, the No. 11 spot was occupied by yet another cleaning company -- Jani-King, which is a

commercial cleaning enterprise.

Why Foreclosure Cleanup Will Always Be Profitable

Even when the economy turns around --- and it will because that is the American way foreclosure cleaning will still be a smart business to start; and the reason why is quite simple...

As long as real estate is bought and sold, it will need to be cleaned out, painted, boarded up and/or maintained.

Remember, "foreclosure cleaning" is just a real estate services business. When the economy turns around, all you have to do is market your services -- the same services you already offer -- differently. Ready to explore this lucrative business opportunity?

You'll also find in-depth info on the latest home foreclosure news, eg, the #1 secret your lender won't tell you that can stop foreclosure, how to work out a forbearance agreement, the timeline for foreclosure in all 50 states, educational videos about the foreclosure process, how to start a foreclosure cleanup business -- and a whole lot more.
