About 2 years ago I started to list and sell distressed properties before they went into the forest, Closure. At the time, lenders were willing to see the files, had a car in a place you can get those assets available in a relatively short time, the seller can save their credit.
If focused initially on the Fort Bend County area, but business pushed me in all the areas around Houston. I think the hardest part to focus on this section of the market is actually finding people in distress. I am yet to find a good tool to find house to offer this service. I've written several articles and put them on the internet and do some print ads, but I get the impression that people are not aware of how easy the process can be.
And also found the following to be true:
1. Government loans FHA skin and have unique instructions and will take more time to get through the process.
2. Homeowner most are not aware of the short sale process and surrender and leave their homes to be excluded.
3. All lenders have a department that handles short sales, loss mitigation.
4. There is a growing market place for a short sale home for sale.
5. Most home decorating can offer within 30-60 days after listing the property.
6.Late in 2007 a law was passed while the house is no longer responsible for the earnings difference between loan amount and the amount garnished sale.
7. The short sale process is free in the house.
Eight. Can and Hoa will put mortgage on the home and that must be paid by the buyer to get short sales approved.
100% financing was and could be a good idea but there were a lot of people offer this, including roll back to the final costs were put in homes that they could never afford. They were told that before the arm and the balloon payment would fire the house would, and they would have realized cash and could go back and refinance with a 30-year fixed rate. This is an untruth in relation generally present the result in most cases takes 8-10 years.
Furthermore, with the alarming amount of homes falling into the house forest Closure now dropped more than appreciated.
Most new homes were rated as empty lots or construction loan and one year home was in home building would reap praise completes construction fees and taxes doubled. ARM continues to set up the payments in most cases will double in just two years. From my experience, that would mean that 3 / 2 home with a mortgage balance 150,000.00 is likely to cost a home owner $ 2,500.00 per month. To put it in context you should be able to buy a $ 300,000.00 home of 30-year fixed mortgage the mortgage payment.
It is a hopeless situation, while the House will try to list and sell their house, but builders are still building and they are slashing their prices on new homes in the area. The house is fixed upside down to sell a pre-owned home without incentives.
The quoted above is the new home builders to every day go to a specific house expenses. Each month is like home to lose value on their books and builders desperate in the market to move "file." Most new home sales, even in the Houston area, experiencing 30% -40% reduction in sales.
Now here comes the lender. Loan Alan has worthless paper in the secondary market that are absolute bottom line. Loan Alan wrote and sold Real Estate Investment Trust, which are constantly written off. It is to these companies for sale "box's" found them to be so profitable that they chose to invest in them too. The Real Estate Investment Trust was part of these loans were to pay 9% interest and it seemed as if all were aboard. As lenders write this column, investors are now pulling out of the market. Here in lies the problem with the mortgage market. Prime lending rate may be 2.25%, but banks are wary of lending money at this time.
