Stress of foreclosure: I can’t take it anymore…what should I do?

I can’t take the stress of Foreclosure anymore…what should I do?

Become educated and make a decision.  I remember waking up in the mornings after a sleepless night, praying that this was all just a bad dream.  I fought with everyone from my husband, kids, mother and even the dogs.  I was so sick over everything, I even lost a kidney.  I realized the fact that I was throwing good money after bad.  The stress of foreclosure will do everything it can to take you out!  What I found to be the most helpful was that I made a decision and stuck to it.  I had to accept being happy where I was for the time and believe that everything was going to be alright.  I wasn’t raised to be a person who walks away from my responsibilities; however, I had to look at the big picture.  I wasn’t the only one in this situation; LOTS of people are living the same nightmare!

I started attending church more often and reading the Bible every evening.  My faith got me through all of the mess.  I had the background and knowledge of how to do a short sale, a bankruptcy, and/or save my home; however, when it came to helping myself make a decision, it was one of the hardest things in my life.  I had several rentals that I fought to save and spent thousands of dollars in the process.  In the end, I short saled the properties and THEN filed bankruptcy.  I even separated from my husband of 21 years.  If only I would have made the decision a lot sooner, I may have saved my marriage and avoided great financial loss.  Thanks to God, I have fully recovered from all of my losses and I am right back on track where I want to be!  I would recommend the following reading to help during this crisis:

  • The Bible – this Book will build your faith
  • Join a church – You are welcome to join me at The Master’s Touch International Church at 555 Markham Woods Road, Longwood, FL 32779, phone number is 321-304-4111 (non-denominational, people travel from several counties to attend weekly).  Sunday services are at 9am and 11am, and Tuesday evening service is at 7pm.  I am at the 9am service, and would love to see you there, please find me and introduce yourself!  Come and grow your faith!
  • Who Moved My Cheese – this book will help you understand the economy
  • The Five Love Languages – this book will help you understand your individual family members and how to communicate better.

What’s the next step for me?

Bankruptcy vs Short Sale or Foreclosure

Should I file Bankruptcy?

There are different types of bankruptcies.  There is a Chapter 7 that will discharge you from all your debts; qualification will depend on how much is owed and your income.  Then there is a Chapter 13 which is a 3 to 5 year re-payment plan for your debts.

A bankruptcy prior to a short sale does not help you with getting a fresh start because the lender will still have to do the full foreclosure process to get title back to the house.  A bankruptcy will eliminate the debt that is owed. However, many people want a fresh start now and they don’t want to wait until their lender forecloses in order to start cleaning up their credit and moving forward with their life.

Sell Fast Realty has worked with many bankruptcy attorneys that recommend to their clients to sell the house first on a short sale then, if needed, file bankruptcy.  Some sellers are only behind on their house payments and the rest of their bills are current.  I do recommend that you attempt a short sale prior to filing bankruptcy.  We do have referrals for bankruptcy attorneys.

Can I Short Sale the house after a Bankruptcy?

Yes you can!  The most important part of selling your house after a bankruptcy is to make sure you have the right real estate agent and negotiator working on your behalf.  When Sell Fast Realty does a short sale in which the seller had included their house in the bankruptcy, we obtain a full satisfaction of the loan, which means NO deficiency.  Our #1 Focus is YOU!  You will still need to provide financial information even though the lender can’t come after you for the debt.  HOWEVER, if you use the wrong real estate agent that is not familiar with the short sale process and you only receive a lien release, the mortgage note becomes valid again which means you have reaffirmed on that debt and you are now liable.

Short Sale versus Foreclosure – Seller sells Kissimmee Florida Home

Short Sale versus Foreclosure.  Seller sells Kissimmee Florida Home after leaving the home vacant with the help of Sell Fast Realty listing and negotiating the short sale.

Ken had been trying to sell his home prior to listing with Evelyn Good at Sell Fast Realty for sometime on his own. He went to www.SellFastRealty.com and clicked on Sell My House Florida.  It was easy for Sell Fast Realty to obtain a buyer on this property within 2 weeks.  However, the house had been vacate for sometime so once we received the short sale approval on the property, the buyer needed to have an inspection.

Our contracts that are signed by the Sellers and Buyers always have the following language to protect our Sellers 1)This offer is subject to the Mortgage Companies taking a discount acceptable to the Sellers and waiving the deficiency judgment and 2)Buyer will be responsible to turn on the utilities for inspection.

The Buyer went to have the water turned on and found out that there was a water usage bill do in the amount of $42.00 which the Seller agreed to pay.  The Buyer had their inspection on the property and found several things wrong with the property.  Since the Buyer was obtaining FHA financing, the Buyer was required to make the repairs pursuant to the verbage that I included on the contract.

After all the repairs where made we were getting ready to go to closing then BAM! – 3 other liens showed up on title.  Two liens were for mowing the grass($550.00) and the other lien was a Target Visa Judgment that was against the Seller in the amount of $4,200.  I contacted the Mortgage Company’s Mitigator(Negotiator) and was informed that the Mortgage Company would not pay for the liens.  I didn’t take no for an answer. (Go www.SellFastRealty.com and click on Using a Realtor to Sell a House Fast Tab)

The Buyer was upset that they spent money on a house and now there were 3 more liens that needed to get cleared up prior to closing.  The Mortgage Broker and the other realtor was willing to contribute money towards the liens to sell the property but I didn’t want them to do that when I knew I could get the the Mortgage Company to pay these liens in order to sell the property.

First, I needed to call the Attorney for the Target Visa Judgment and negotiate a settlement.  The loan had been transferred to another attorney who said “the entire amount needs to be paid off”.  I laughed and said I wish they could but you see, the first mortgage is taking a discount, the second mortgage is taking $3,000 and the first Mortgage Company will not allow you to get paid 100% on this Judgment.  I informed them that this was a HAFA program and the most they could get was 6% which equals $252.00.  The Attorney said “NO”.  I then called Target Visa department and got a hold of their legal department who gave me a supervisor.  The supervisor and I did a conference call to the Senior Attorney handling the collection of the Visa Judgment and he agreed to accept the $252.00.  I told him about the conversation I had with the other attorney in his firm and he said because I knew someone at Target Visa was the only reason that I got this approved.  In other words, because I knew what I am doing I got my short sale approved.

The Seller and the Buyer closed with the Realtors and the Mortgage Broker receiving full payment for services rendered.  We have in-house negotiation which allows our Sellers to relax and let us do all the short sale negotiating for them without having all the worries.

I teach short sale negotiating and I have a 9 CD series available at www.ShortSaleNegotiating.com with examples of how to get your deals done.  I have saved Sellers over 37 Million Dollars and counting.

Below is the Video of the Seller – Ken who was excited to say good-bye to his home before the 2012 Deadline of not having pay taxes on the short fall amount.
