Westminster Short Sales: Does ABC Bank Really Care About Their Customers?


Westminster CO – Doesn't it annoy you when you hear a large national bank's hold music tell you that they care about their customers?

Their hold music sings their praises: "We are (Insert your bank's name) appreciate your business. We offer the best customer service in an effort to earn your business."

If you ever feel we are not upholding the standard of excellence in customer service, then please let us know", it says.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Arrrrggggghhhhh!!!!! I hate that! If you have ever negotiated a short sale or loan modification with a large lender, then you will understand what I am talking about.

They all talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk. Excuse me, but waiting on hold for 30 minutes does not count for excellent customer service.

Losing my short sale paperwork for the tenth time doesn't qualify either. Nor do the loan mod horror stories I hear from sellers who have finally given up. Banks, please get your act together!

Fortunately, we can still get short sales approved, despite the bad customer service. This causes some agents to avoid short sales, but it doesn't stop us.

Thinking about a short sale? I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at denverforeclosureblog@gmail.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 303-521-0984

Don’t Make This Mistake On Your Denver Loan Modification



Denver– If you're trying to get a loan modification, then you have think like a banker. How you present your finances is the key to success.

You’ve got to show them an income that’s not too high and not too low. If you show them too low of an income, they’re going to go “Oh, this guy can’t afford his house payment.

Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here.

If we reduce his payment to $800, he won’t even be able to afford it anyway so what’s the point in reducing it? Before, he thought he could pay $1,200 a month. He can’t even pay the $800 a month that’s he’s asking for today. He's not making enough money, based on our ratios, to be able to afford it.”

Here's what happens if your income is too high. Let's say your payment is only $1,000 a month and you’re making $4,000, $5,000, or $6,000 a month. They will say “What’s up with this? This guy’s making a ton of money. Why are we going to reduce his payment?”

So you’ve got to make sure your income and your budget is in that middle range. Look at your recent income history.

Maybe you can pull the most recent month. If it shows the right numbers use it. Or, pull from a longer period. Use the last three months or the last six months worth of income. Maybe even use

You want to be able to demonstrate that you're making enough money to afford that payment, but not making so much money that they will charge you more.

Westminster Short Sale Question: How Is Short Selling A Rental Different From Your Personal House?


Westminster CO – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Brett. Here was Brett's question.

"How is the short sale process different for a homeowner versus a rental property? Is the owner of a rental property more likely to have a deficiency judgment and/or be taxed on the deficiency than someone short selling their own primary residence? Brett."

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

View My VIDEO BLOG at www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wIQw8rDD4c.

Here was our answer to Brett's question. Yes, the short sale of a property that was acquired as a rental, will have different consequences than a primary residence short sale.

(The scenarios below are for a property you bought as a rental, not a property you bought to live in and then started to rent out.)

1. Deficiency. In most cases, you will not be dealing with the lenders who will allow you to walk away from the debt. Lenders are going to ask for a promissory note or deficiency much more often on a rental.

You can still short sell without a deficiency, but it won't be as easy to do it.

2. You are more likely to owe income taxes. Uncle Sam isn't giving you the same break on cancellation of debt income waiver that a normal homeowner gets.

Check with your accountant on methods that can help you wipe out even this debt.

Thinking about a short sale? I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at denverforeclosureblog@gmail.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 303-521-0984

How To Get Your Loan Mod Approved When Negotiating With A Local, Denver Lender


Westminster CO - In my opinion, loan mods are very tough to negotiate with large lenders like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, or SunTrust. The reason is because you are treated like a number.

In addition, in most cases the lender doesn’t own your loan. Someone else does. So when they negotiate with you, it is simply to go thru the motions. They are MORE interesting in what they can COLLECT from you!

Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

No, common sense does not apply in these situations! The good news is that common sense does apply when you are dealing with a small, local lender.

I remember hearing a credit union in my town run ads about how they didn’t treat you like a number.

The ads said something like, “When you bank with X Credit Union you aren’t a number. We talk to you on a first name basis.” I didn’t see the benefit then, but I do see it now.

I talked with a recent homeowner about how he negotiated a loan modification with a small, local lender. At first the lender played total hardball with him.

“Either pay us in full or we will foreclose”, they told him. They were firm on being paid in full. The said if he didn’t pay they would file foreclosure right away.

He was paid in full for a while. Six months later he grew tired of being dead broke (which is how his finances were after giving his lender most of his earnings every month.)

So he decided to “play chicken” with his lender. He stopped paying. His lender continued to play hardball. Finally, he consulted a bankruptcy attorney and had them take over the negotiations with his lender.

The lender backed off. They total changed their tune. No longer were they playing hardball. Now, they wanted to “work something out with him.”

Wow! What a difference that one simple thing made. Notice he didn’t have to file bankruptcy or anything.

But, the threat caused them to change their tune. In my next blog post I’ll explain why.

Denver Short Sale Question: Should I Short Sale My Rental?


Westminster CO – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Ryan. Here was Ryan's question.

"I own a rental house. When I bought it, the rent covered the mortgage and all the other payments. However, rental rates have declined in my area and the rent no longer covers the mortgage.

Besides that, I had to write a big check to fix the roof and carpet. i am sick of the money drain. Also, I am now upside down because the housing market has taken a dive here.

Can I short sale this house? I am concerned that if I do, then my lender will come chasing me for the loss. Let me know what you think. Ryan."

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here was our answer to Ryan's question. Ryan, we do think you should try a short sale on the house.

It sounds like the only thing holding you back is wondering whether or not you will have to repay the bank for the loss. We think you have a better than 50% chance at not repaying them a dime.

In addition, you can probably negotiate that amount down. For example, a homeowner we recently helped had to repay $20,000 when the bank lost over $120,000.

That is right. They wiped out a $120,000 debt for only $20,000. Besides, they had 10 years to repay that $20,000.

However, when you compare the interest they would have repaid on that $120,000, they saved even more (close to $193,000 after you add in interest.)

So try out a short sale. With a little creativity and the right person negotiating for you, you have a good chance at walking away from that monthly cash drain.

Thinking about a short sale? I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at denverforeclosureblog@gmail.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 303-521-0984

A Common Denver Short Sale Negotiation Mistake: Not Continue the Marketing of Property Before the Short Sale Is Completed


Westminster CO – Short sales can take a long time. The banks are difficult to deal with and many brokers do not understand short sales and don't know what they are doing.


View My VIDEO BLOG at www.youtube.com/user/avoidforeclosures?blend=12&ob=5.

Because of this, many buyers shy away from short sales. Or, if they do make an offer, then they still continue to look at other properties.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

If a better home comes on the market, then they will buy that home. Few fully commit themselves to purchasing that short sale home.

Because of this many brokers recommend leaving a short sale on the market, even when there is a contract in place. Recently, Bank of America even changed their policies specifically for backup short sale offers.

In my opinion, taking your home off of the market when we have an accepted contract is a mistake. The only exceptions are when the buyer puts up a large down payment or falls in love with a unique home.

We recommend keeping the home on the open market. All agents and buyers will be told there is a contract on the property and that they will be in backup position.

If the buyer really likes the house, then they will submit a backup offer. The whole process is frustrating and not straight forward.

But, we make the best of the situation and do what we can to make the process easier.

A Common Denver Short Sale Negotiation Mistake: Not Properly Working the First Offer


Westminster CO – Many times you will feel pressure to reply right away to an offer. But, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t negotiate to obtain an offer that you feel will satisfy the short sale lender(s).

Buyers are impatient and if they really like your house, then they will want an answer to their offer right away. They are hoping to lock you in with their offer before another offer comes in. Since, you are required to have the contract subject to the seller's short sale lender(s), you may not be locked in, anyway.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

It also means they are probably willing to pay more for your property. Take the time to talk to your short sale broker. You need to take a little time and consider whether or not you should counter the price or other terms of that first offer.

In some cases, the first offer's price may not be the driving factor, as much as time is. Too often, sellers do not get their home on the market until after foreclosure notice has been given. You may NEED that first offer to present to the lender to negotiate the foreclosure sale date postponement.

Understand what pressure you may have to yield to in order to get the right offer that you and your short sale broker will believe will satisfy the lender's BPO or appraisal values.
