			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>does bbt participate in the hafa program</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program</strong> was developed to give homeowners a way to settle their mortgage debt without going through a foreclosure.The goal of this program is to help you sell your home in a short sale and settle your mortgage debt if you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth and are unable to qualify for a home loan assistance program.This federal government program streamlines the short sale approval process and offers financial incentives to help you with relocation.</p>
<p>Today’s post is dedicated to helping families find an alternative to foreclosure, and helping them return to the goal of homeownership more quickly; therefore, we are emphasizing the brochure developed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that nicely summarizes the existing HAFA Program.On November 30, 2009, the Obama Administration released guidelines and uniform procedures for its <a href="http://www.dofha.com/down-payment-required-for-loans-conventional-loans/">Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA). </a>Modified HAFA rules for loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will be issued in coming weeks. HAFA does not apply to FHA or VA loans.</p>
<p>It is important to know that while most of the major mortgage holders in the U.S. participate in the HAFA program, not all do.  Contact us to find out how you can determine if your the owner of your mortgage will consider a HAFA short sale.</p>
<p>Allows borrowers to receive pre-approved short sales terms before listing the property (including the minimum acceptable net proceeds).Prohibits the servicers from requiring a reduction in the real estate commission agreed upon in the listing agreement (up to 6%).Requires borrowers to be fully released from future liability for the first mortgage debt and, if the subordinate lien holder receives an incentive under HAFA, that debt as well (no cash contribution, promissory note, or deficiency judgment is allowed).</p>
<p>After the borrower contracts to sell the property, the borrower submits a “request for approval of short sale” (RASS) to the servicer within 3 business days for approval. If the borrower already has an executed sales contract and asks the servicer to approve it before an SSA is executed, the Alternative RASS is used instead. The servicer must still consider the borrower for a loan modification.The guidance states that a servicer may not require a reduction in the real estate commission below the amount stated in the SSA, up to 6%. However, if the servicer has retained a vendor to assist the listing broker, the vendor must be paid a specified amount from the commission.</p>
<p>There is automatic disqualification for HAFA programs for investment property owners and borrowers who have government loans. If you have assets and can afford your mortgage payments, even if you are upside down on your mortgage, you won’t qualify.  If you do not qualify for the HAFA program, you may qualify for a short pay off, which is similar to the HAFA program. A short pay off is when you want to sell your home and you are upside down and you agree to sign a note for the difference between what you sell your home for and what you owe the lender on your mortgage, or you sign a note for a portion of the outstanding loan balance. You must prove that you can pay off the debt and have good credit.  Not all lenders will accept a short pay off so you need to check with your lender if they will accept one.  It does not hurt to ask.  If not, then they may still have another program that may work for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>wells fargo deed in lieu of foreclosure</strong></p>
<p>Wells Fargo states that a short sale scenario is no longer an option and MY CLIENT’S only option is Deed in Lieu.   Their reason:  the PMI company cannot agree with Wells Fargo investor.  End of story.  File is closed on Equator system. The Wells Fargo negotiator tells me that he is not allowed to talk to my client.  He (seller) must speak ONLY to point of contact immediately, and he provided name and phone number.</p>
<p>In this transaction, a homeowner simply relinquishes the property, turning over the deed to the bank, in exchange for the lender’s promise not to foreclose. In a straight foreclosure, a lender takes legal control of the property and evicts the occupants; in deeds-in-lieu transactions, the homeowner is typically allowed to remain in the home for a short period of time after the agreement.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there’s no way to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure without hurting your credit unless you can get the lender to report your mortgage paid in full. Talk to your financial institution and see whether you’re a candidate for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. You might not be if you’re current on your mortgage payments. You might want to consult a real-estate lawyer. My tentant is now in danger of being kicked out. This is the thanks I get for not walking away and trying to cover the mortgage. I&#8217;d like to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure but I can&#8217;t with the tenant there and he&#8217;s not interested in buying on a short sale.</p>
<p>With a deed in lieu of foreclosure, you have the option to voluntarily transfer ownership of your home to your mortgage servicer, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, if you cannot sell your home at fair market value or prefer to have your servicer sell your home.A deed in lieu of foreclosure may release you from the obligation to repay your primary mortgage and may help you avoid a foreclosure sale, even if the foreclosure process has already started.</p>
<p>Among the other major lenders, there is no formalized program for deeds-in-lieu. <a href="http://www.dofha.com/notice-to-intention-to-foreclose-mortgage/">Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo</a>, for instance, generally require borrowers to try a short sale before considering a deed-in- lieu transaction. A deed-in-lieu is better for banks than a foreclosure because it reduces the company’s legal costs, and it is better for the homeowners because it is less damaging to their credit score. banks can legally retain the right to pursue borrowers for the balance of the loan after a foreclosure, a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. That is one reason why housing advocates say borrowers should carefully weigh these transactions with the help of a lawyer or nonprofit housing counselor before proceeding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>citimortgage fha loan modification success 2012</strong></p>
<p>The process involves documents being analyzed and reviewed by the mortgage lender. This often makes the  CitiMortgage loan modification program a time consuming process and leaves many homeowners confused and disillusioned. But there is no need to give up – using loan modification services can make the entire process less stressful and the chance of your family being approved is higher.

<p>The second steps, check your financial statement and calculate your debt ratio. Usually, the lender especially Citimortgage will look your financial statement and your debt ratio before you submit your Hardship Packet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>gmac mortgage credit score  2012</strong></p>
<p>GMAC Insurance uses credit to determine your auto insurance quote, as do most carriers. According to a recent survey by Conning &amp; Co., a Hartford, Connecticut-based insurance research firm, 92 percent of all insurance companies use credit information when underwriting new policies. It is important to note that a credit score is just one of several underwriting tools GMAC Insurance considers when determining rates; we also consider rating variables such as driving record, type of vehicle, where you live, your gender, your age, and other factors.</p>
<p>Here are some problems needing attention  :</p>
<p>1 Ensure your credit standing is healthy. Request a credit report from any reporting agency. You are entitled to one credit report every 12 months from any one of the three credit agencies: Equifax (www.equifax.com); Hyperian (experian.com/consumer.com) and TransUnion (transunion.com).</p>
<p>2 Review your credit report. A good credit score is important. Scores generally range from 500 to 850; a good score is 750 and up and increases your chances of being granted a mortgage.</p>
<p>3 Check for errors in your credit report. File a request in writing for these errors to be rectified immediately.</p>
<p>4 Visit the GMAC Mortgage web site. This brings you to the page where you can fill out a credit pre-approval application. If you prefer to speak to someone, call the GMAC Mortgage 24/7 line at: 1-877-355-4622.</p>
<p>5 Provide all information requested on the credit pre-approval form: name, Social Security Number, email address, day and evening phone numbers (the best time to call you) and your home address. Give the name of your co-borrower, if applicable. Indicate how soon you wish to purchase your home. Complete the application by filling in your annual income, total assets, down payment amount and your total monthly debt payments. These influence GMAC&#8217;s decision on whether or not to grant you a mortgage loan.</p>
<p>6 Convince the loan officer that you can afford to repay the loan by having sufficient assets to back you up, making a reasonable down payment and not over-extending your lines of credit.</p>
<p>7 Wait for someone from GMAC to call you. Applicants usually receive a reply from two to seven days. If you have not heard anything, follow-up by calling GMAC Customer Service at 1-800-200-4622.</p>
<p>General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) is the financing services division of General Motors, one of the world&#8217;s largest vehicle manufacturers. Financial services include vehicle, insurance and mortgage programs in about 40 countries. This means that individuals looking to buy a home are not necessarily limited to banks and credit unions if they need a mortgage loan. Provided they meet the criteria for acceptance, they can qualify for a GMAC mortgage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>down payment required for loans conventional loans</strong></p>
<p>FHA Loans have several advantages over conventional loans, including lower down payments and more relaxed credit-qualifying guidelines. The federal government created FHA loan programs to encourage homeownership throughout the country. The FHA can help people to obtain a loan with little or no down payment. The FHA does not supply the loan; it simply insures the loan to limit the risk to the lender. These payments depend on percentages. Conventional loan down payment requirements vary from company to company-you may be told by one lender that five percent of the sale price of the home is required, while another may ask for 10%. When it comes to FHA loans, the traditional, bare-minimum down payment amount is 3.5% of the contract sales price of the home.</p>
<p><em><strong>What is a Conventional Loan?</strong></em><br />
By definition, a conventional loan is any mortgage that is not guaranteed or insured by the federal government. A conventional loan is generally referring to a mortgage loan that follows the guidelines of government sponsored enterprises (GSE&#8217;s) like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Conventional loans may be either &#8220;conforming&#8221; and &#8220;non-conforming&#8221;. Conforming loans follow the terms and conditions set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Nonconforming loans don&#8217;t meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, but they are also considered coventional.</p>
<p><em><strong>What are the Conventional Down Payment Requirements?</strong></em><br />
Conventional Loans require the home buyer to invest at least 5% &#8211; 20% of the sales price in cash for the down payment and closing costs. If the sales price is $100,000 for example, the home buyer must invest at least $5,000 &#8211; $20,000.</p>
<p><strong><em>What will be my Interest Rate?</em></strong><br />
The interest rate for your home loan will be determined by the type of loan program that you qualify for and your credit score. You might be asking yourself what is the formula to calculate interest rates? Interest rates are driven off of <a href="http://www.dofha.com/citi-mortgage-net-present-value-calculation-for-mortgage-modification/">Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS)</a> which are commonly referred to &#8220;mortgage bonds&#8221;. These value of these bonds determine whether the interest rates rise or fall. Your final rate will determine your payment using the standard calculate mortgage payment formula. Please contact one of our loan officers to see what is todays lending mortgage rate.</p>
<p><em><strong>What types of property are eligible?</strong></em><br />
While Conventional Mortgage Guidelines allow you to purchase warrantable condos, planned unit developments, modular homes, manufactured homes, and 1-4 family residences. Conventional Loans can be used to finance primary residences, second homes and investment property.</p>
<p><em><strong>Can I get an Conventional Mortgage Loan after bankruptcy?</strong></em><br />
Criteria for Conventional loan approvals state that if you have been discharged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for four years or more, you are eligible to apply for an Conventional mortgage. If you have had a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it must be documented that the your credit reputation has been re-established for at least two years to be eli bible for a Conventional Loan Application.</p>
<p><em><strong>What Kinds of Loans do Conventional Programs Offer?</strong></em><br />
Fixed rate loans &#8211; Most Conventional Mortgages are fixed-rate mortgages. In a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate stays the same for the entire loan period. With a fixed rate Conventional Mortgage, you always know exactly how much your monthly payment will be. Contact us for today&#8217;s free Conventional mortgage rates.</p>
<p>FHA has their own insurance built into the approval process but this is not the same with a conventional loan.  On a conventional loan there is an entirely separate approval process for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and often these guidelines can be more rigid than the bank’s.  So keep in mind that just because your bank approves your mortgage doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get that loan if you don’t meet the criteria of the PMI company.  Under FHA, one set of guidelines and that’s it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>notice to intention to foreclose mortgage</strong></p>
<p>The notice of intent must be sent, by first class mail, to the borrower, at their last known address and if different, to the property secured by the mortgage. The notice should not be sent until the borrower is at least sixty (60) days behind in their mortgage payments. In the notice, the lender must make the borrower ware that his or her mortgage is in default and that it is their (the lender&#8217;s) intention to accelerate the mortage payments if the borrower does not cure the default within thirty (30) days. This means that the remaining balance of the original mortgage will come due immediately.</p>
<p>Before a residential mortgage lender, as defined by the act, may accelerate the maturity of a residential mortgage obligation, as defined by the act; commence a legal action including mortgage foreclosure to recover under the obligation; or take possession of a security of the residential debtor, as defined by the act, for the residential mortgage obligation—the person shall give a residential mortgage debtor notice of the intention which may be in the following form.</p>
<p>Now, pursuant to Pennsylvania Act 60 of 2008, <a href="http://www.dofha.com/mortgage-debt-forgiveness-act-extension/">the Pennsylvania General Assembly </a>has revised the requirements related to lenders providing advance written notice to delinquent home mortgage borrowers when the lender intends to foreclose on the residential property. Accordingly, PHFA has revised its form Notice of Intent to Foreclose (Act 91 Notice).</p>
<p>There are twopre-foreclosure notice requirements which are specific to Pennsylvania. An Act 6 notice (Required to be sent by certified Mail) requires a notice of intention to foreclose to be sent within 60 days of a default occurring. The borrower will usually then have 30 days in which to set up a payment plan or cure any default during this time frame. An Act 91 notice (Required to be sent by regular mail with certificate of mailing) relates to a mortgage default where the borrower is advised there may be assistance available in the form of a HEMAP (Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program) loan to cure the existing default.</p>
<p>Requires lender to provide to PHFA a copy of each such “Act 91 Notice” of intention to<br />
foreclose simultaneously upon issuance to a delinquent borrower, or to provide a quarterly list of mortgage borrowers to whom the Act 91 Notice was sent in the previous quarter. PHFA is charged with the responsibility to use this information to monitor foreclosure activity and trends in Pennsylvania and to make recommendations for addressing any problems identified in its monitoring effort.If you do not cure the default within THIRTY (30) DAYS, we intend to exercise our right to accelerate the mortgage payments. This means that whatever is owing on the original amount borrowed will be considered due immediately and you may lose the chance to pay off the original mortgage in monthly installments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ahmsi loan modification forms  2012</strong></p>
<p>When you put money in escrow it is held by a neutral third party (called an escrow agent) who works for both the lender and the borrower. The agent&#8217;s role is to carry out the instructions agreed upon by both parties. The money is released when all the terms of the agreement are met. Escrow can be involved in anything from multimillion-dollar building projects to purchases made on online auction sites.</p>
<p>Once the seller and the buyer both have signed the contract, the buyer should issue a check for his earnest-money deposit to a so-called escrow account, which is held by a real estate brokerage. That means you make out your check to a real estate brokerage, not an individual.</p>
<p>State real-estate laws strictly regulate how real estate brokers conduct and manage these separate, professional escrow accounts. Brokers are not allowed to deposit any earnest monies in their own business bank accounts. Nevertheless, make sure to request a receipt for any earnest money handed over to a real estate agent or a brokerage. It should come in the form of a copy of the check on the brokerage’s letterhead, along with a signature of the person accepting the check’s delivery, and the date and location the check was received. If you’re in a hurry to close on your purchase, be aware that a quick closing date requires a certified check for earnest money.</p>
<p>Most of the time, lenders will structure escrow accounts with a built in cushion.  So if you are late with a payment your lender can still pay the taxes or insurance on time.  That being said, <a href="http://www.dofha.com/mortgage-debt-forgiveness-act-extension/">the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) </a>limits the amount of money the lender may require for the payment of taxes and / or insurance.RESPA limits lenders to a cushion equal to on-sixth of the total expenses paid from the escrow account, which from a practical standpoint is equal to two monthly payments.  Some states or lenders may allow for a lesser amount, but the cushion limit, or maximum, is two months of escrow payments.</p>
<p>Your escrow account will have a built-in cushion &#8212; if you miss a payment, the lender must still be able to pay your accounts on time. However, federal law prohibits lenders from requiring more than two months. expenses in escrow. And because your tax and insurance costs will change slightly from year to year, the lender will review and adjust your escrow payments annually. In most states, the money you place in an escrow account earns no interest for you. For that reason, many borrowers prefer to pay their taxes and insurance directly. Lenders may agree to this if your down payment is more than 20 percent, although some will raise your interest rate slightly to compensate. Once you agree to putting funds into an escrow account, however, it is difficult to cancel it, so make sure you fully understand the arrangement before your mortgage closes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>citi mortgage net present value calculation for mortgage modification</strong></p>
<p>The current mortgage balance and current mortgage payment are key parts of the calculation used by the bank.  The current loan balance must include all missed payments, any costs paid for you-such as property taxes or insurance.  Late fees, penalties and other miscellaneous charges are not allowed to be added into the balance per federal guidelines.The gross monthly household income that you indicate on your RMA financial worksheet will also be used in the Waterfall Calculation.  You must not have too much or too little income in order to pass the criteria.  Verify your required income by running your figures through the  Loan Modification Calculator</p>
<p>That was the red-lettered verdict on the computer screen of a CitiMortgage negotiator in June. The result: An 83-year-old widow in Illinois was denied a loan modification through the <a href="http://www.dofha.com/law-suits-in-tennessee-against-bank-of-america/">Obama administration’s Making Home Affordable program</a>, even though the employee admitted in an e-mail, &#8220;I am unable to come up with a reason for the denial.&#8221; The Net Present Value test is a complex computer model used by loan servicers to determine whether a homeowner qualifies for the federal loan modification program.  The test compares two scenarios – modification and foreclosure – and determines which would be more profitable for the lender. If it’s foreclosure, the lender has no obligation to modify the loan. But the model is a black box. What goes in isn’t entirely clear, and what comes out isn’t always reliable.</p>
<p>A mortgage lender is the institution you work with to get a loan. A mortgage servicer is the financial institution that is responsible for the administration of your mortgage loan. Your mortgage servicer receives your payments, keeps track of the principal and interest on your loan, and might set up an escrow account for you. You can find out your mortgage servicer by reviewing t your mortgage bills or coupons. Some institutions are both mortgage lenders and mortgage servicers. Other institutions are just mortgage lenders, and they sell your loan to a mortgage servicer who then manages it.</p>
<p>The Home Affordable Refinance program will be available to 4 to 5 million homeowners who have a solid payment history on an existing mortgage owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Normally, these borrowers would be unable to refinance because their homes have lost value, pushing their current loan-to -value ratios above 80%. Under the Home Affordable Refinance program, many of them will now be eligible to refinance their loan to take advantage of today’s lower mortgage rates or to refinance an adjustable-rate mortgage into a more stable mortgage, such as a 30-year fixed rate loan.</p>
<p>By entering information about your mortgage, such as your income, credit score, property value, mortgage balance, and interest rate, you can finally run the same test that your mortgage servicer is running and potentially be able to tell if you mortgage servicer has wrongfully denied you for a loan modification, or if they should be able to qualify you for a loan modification when you apply for one.</p>
<p>Luckily, however, in most cases, a loan modification will be in both the bank’s and the borrower’s best interest. This is because the amount that the bank will get at a foreclose sale is usually less than the amount of the mortgage, whereas the amount the bank will get from a loan modification and the payments of both principal and interest over up to 40 years will be far more than just of the principal amount of the mortgage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>mortgage debt forgiveness act extension</strong></p>
<p>The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 includes the cancellation of the complete debt. If the mortgage terms were renegotiated, up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible for this exclusion ($1 million if married filing separately). According to the IRS, the exclusion does not apply if the discharge is due to services performed for the lender or any other reason not directly related to a decline in the home’s value or the taxpayer’s financial condition.</p>
<p>The new law applies to discharges of qualified principal residence indebtedness on or after January 1, 2009, and before January 1, 2013. California law conforms, with modifications, to federal mortgage forgiveness debt relief for discharges that occurred in tax years 2007 through December 31, 2012. The amount of qualifying indebtedness is less than the federal amount and California imposes a state-only limitation on the total amount of relief excluded from gross income.</p>
<p>In the stories I heard the persons tax preparer was not aware of this and therefore included the income reported on the 1099 from the lender for forgiven debt as income.  Fortunately all that is necessary to receive relief from this act is to file an IRS form 982If you lost a home to foreclosure in the past two years I would suggest you ask your tax preparer about the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 and make sure you ahve not paid taxes on debt forgiveness that you should not have.</p>
<p>If you are using the form only to report the exclusion of forgiveness of qualified principal residence indebtedness as the result of foreclosure on your principal residence, you only need to complete lines 1e and 2. If you kept ownership of your home and modification of the terms of your mortgage resulted in the forgiveness of qualified principal residence indebtedness, complete lines 1e, 2, and 10b. Attach the Form 982 to your tax return.</p>
<p>However, the <a href="http://www.dofha.com/how-much-money-is-kept-in-escrow-for-home-mortgage/">Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act </a>of 2007 provides tax relief for some mortgage loans forgiven in 2007 through 2012. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence.Regarding your question about the duplex qualifying, I can find no indication in the tax code that would disqualify a duplex from the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act if half of the duplex was purchased for and used as your household residence.</p>
