Short Sale Rocklin – Here is a topic that many Short Sale Agents fail to discuss with their clients. What if my lender demands a promissory note or they will not approve the short sale? Promissory note demands are coming from Banks that service your loan, Mortgage Insurance, and Investors looking to mitigate their loss.  In many cases, with enough documentation and hard-nosed negotiations, promissory notes can be waived from the Short Sale Approval Process.  However, there are some cases where a promissory note is unavoidable. A promissory note is not the end of the world. It will take a lot of work on their end to collect from you. If the lender forces you to sign a promissory note, then you may consider signing it and just don't make a payment. You may be able to re-negotiate the pro...

  Short Sale Rocklin - Rocklin Short Sale Specialist, Mark Peek,  gets asked frequently: Do I qualify for a short sale?  I have cash in the bank, assets, retirement accounts, etc..   Typically, a seller generally "qualifies" for a short sale with some type of hardship: 1 - Job Loss 2 - Job Transfer (out of the area) 3 - Curtailment of Income (pay cuts, reduced hours, furloughs etc.) 4 - Medical Conditions 5 - Death 6 - Divorce or Separation 7 - Increasing Debt and more. In this economy, many people have experienced one or more of these types of hardships. Professional Athletes and Public Figures are not immune to this either.   For example, Ron Artest, formerly of the Sacramento Kings, experienced at least 2 of the hardships above. His employment transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers an...

Short Sale Rocklin – Short Sales can be frustrating at times. It can take a long time for some banks to process the short sale and give us an answer on the buyer's offer. Once the lender makes a decision, sometimes we find the buyer has moved on to another property, lost a job, received a pay cut, etc.. Most bank short sale departments are overworked and understaffed. That is why it can take up to 60-90 days for many banks to respond to the short sale offer. Others can be approved in as little as 10 days (3344 Sandalwood Dr. Rocklin, CA 95765) 60-90 days is a long time in this economy. Changes can occur which may impact a buyer's ability to purchase the home.  On the other hand, we have seen some buyers wait for 4-5 months to get an answer on their offer, and close escrow. If the first...

Placer County Short Sale – Have you heard the following myths about short sales? Myth #1: You can buy short sales for dirt cheap and then turn around and resell them for a profit. Myth #2: Foreclosures, Short Sales, and Bank Owned Homes can be bought for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar with no money down. Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale to avoid foreclosure by clicking here. Myth #3: Lenders will accept any short sale offer even if it is for only 50% of what the home is worth.

They have entire departments handle the sale of properties that they have foreclosed on. Another foreclosure is nothing to fear. At the same time, they do...

Rocklin Short Sale-Will I Have Tax Liability? If you're a Rocklin homeowner, considering a short sale, you are probably wondering if you will have to pay Federal or State taxes once the short sale is complete.  The Mortgage Debt Relief Act applies to people selling their primary residence as a short sale and only applies to qualified principal residence indebtedness.  Qualified principal residence indebtedness is the money, up to $2,000,000, of debt incurred to acquire, construct, or substantially improve the taxpayers principle residence.  Also, the debt must be secured by the residence.  Once the Rocklin short sale is complete, the taxpayer will receive a 1099-C from the bank.  The 1099 must be reported on your tax return.  If the entire amount owing is qualified principal residence i...

Rocklin Short Sale Home – Short Sale Agent, Mark Peek, often gets asked if a short sale is even worth the effort. “Do I need to have my short sale “Approved” by my lender before I put my home on the market?” one seller asked us. “When I called my lender they wouldn’t talk to me about my short sale.

Short Sale Rocklin-Why Would My Lender Agree to a Short Sale? Lenders have incentive to negotiate a short sale with a distressed Rocklin homeowner.  For example, if your lender took back your home as a foreclosure, they would become responsible for the maintenance, HOA fees, utilities, and other fess.  They would also be responsible for any vandalism, squatters, or damage done to the property.  Foreclosure can take many months.  Once it's for sale as an REO it's often in much worse condition than comparable short sales.  For these reasons, it is in the best interest of many lenders to agree to a short sale. Lenders will look at your financial situation as well as the current real estate market to determine whether or not to agree to a short sale.  Using a Rocklin short sale expert for y...
