Progressive new changes coming for HAFA short sales Starting February 1, 2013, the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program (HAFA) will undergo some major changes that will speed up the short sale approval process.   One of the major changes is the requirement that servicers must make a decision on a borrower's short sale request within 30 days.  Another major update which is certain to speed up the process is the "pre-determined hardship".  Borrower's who are 90 days delinquent and have a FICO score under 620 will have a pre-determined hardship.  There are other changes coming up down the road as well.   Los Angeles Homes For Sale Los Angeles Condos For Sale Los Angeles Townhomes For Sale 01/26/2013
