Shortsale Financing

There is a rumor floating around in the York PA area that "FHA, VA finacing is not acceptable for shortsales". This is the furthest from the truth. The Lender who makes the decision regarding the shortsale approval's want to see a mortgage pre-approval and then the mortgage commitment prior to the settlement. As long as the Buyer finds a lender who will provide the financing for the shortsale they could care less what financing ultimately helps pay for the property. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Cozy Clean and Ready for New Ownership!

Extend The Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit

Extend the Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit
Thursday, October 15, 2009
by Jerry
The $8,000 tax credit is set to expire November 30th. Currently Congress is deliberating on to either let it expire or possibly extend the credit with modifications. The talk is that they could raise the credit to as high as $15,000 for all buyers (this means not just for 1st time home buyers). With the state of the economy nationally and the fact that local economy (Useful Information about York PA) is so depended on real estate related goods I believe if anything that needs a continued stimulus is real estate. I wouldn't have said that before this all started but since the government started down this road they have to finish what they started and don't let this vehicle run out of gas now. If they don't extend this to all home buyers it could be devastating nationally.

Foreclosures on the rise

According to the publication "Residential Specialist" one million foreclosures were filed in the first 5 months of 2009 and could reach 2.4 million by the end of the year. The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL), a nonprofit policy group, CRL estimates that these foreclosures could affect as many as 70 million nearby households and contribute to lost property values totaling $502 billion, or about $7,200 per family.

My goal as a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) is to help people to avoid foreclosure either by Loan Modification or a Short Sale. If you know someone who may have a reduction of income or job loss or may have experienced time off work due to health issues or possibly some other valid reason for not being able to make a payment please contact me for a confidential meeting. I am here to help.
