  Another Short Sale Success in the  Middleburg, Florida Area The property: This was single family home in Middleburg with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, almost 1800 square feet. On a cul de sac. House was in move in condition.  Hardship: Required relocation. Short sale scenario: The lender was Navy Federal. Only one loan. The seller's continued making their payments all the way up to closing. Took 2 months to get short sale approval. Not easy to talk to the negotatator. Whenever I called to get updates, I was never put through to the person handling the file. I could only get updates from the person who happened to answer the phone that day. Only one contract on this home. Sold for 151k, owed approximately 206k. No promissory note, but the seller did contribute 5k at closing. If you find yo...

 Middleburg Florida Short Sale Success Story The property: This was single family home in Middleburg with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, little over 1500 square feet. Ginormous fenced backyard. Hardship: Divorce situation, financial difficulties. Short sale scenario: We did have an offer on this property before the final one that closed. The first offer was approved in 32 days. This short sale was with Litton Loans.  This is another lender who is easier to work with, from contract to closing (the final offer that stuck) was only 40 days.  The seller did have a promissory note of $3k. Sold for 104k, owed 175K. 2 loans both with Litton. The real estate market would turn around faster, if we could decrease the short sale inventory drastically. One way of doing that would be to have a faster sho...

FHA STRUCTURAL INSPECTION ON MOBILE HOMES AND MANUFACTURED HOMES WHERE BUYER IS SEEKING FHA OR VA FINANCINGI recently sold a mobile home where financing was a factor. Recently we were stopped dead in our tracks when the underwriter called for a structural/engineering inspection and needed an Engineer Foundation Certificate. Underwriting requires that the home must be placed on a permanent foundation per FHA Structural Inspection requirements and the HUD Permanent Foundations Guide. A recent trend, inspections of this type are being required even on conventional loans.The cost for the inspection was $300.00 and the certificate was $150.00. There are several companies that are certified to do this type of inspection and are easily found on the internet.As of 1/9/19, the below link does no...

 Another short sale success in Middleburg, Florida! The property: This Middleburg townhome is  2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathroom, almost 1300 square feet. Very low HOA fees. Hardship: Was a rental, had difficulties renting. Owner also had some health issues to deal with in the family. Short sale scenario: By far, this was the best and easiest short sale to complete. The lender was Wells Fargo Financial, which is different than Wells Fargo Mortgage, but part of the same family. Wells Fargo Financial's short sale procedure is to start the short sale process when the house is first listed. They assigned a negotiator and had the BPO done quickly. We established a price and once a month, I completed a market report form and we would reduce the price to generate showings. Once it went under contract,...

The property: This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath single family home located in Middleburg, Florida. The house was in good repair, except for some cosmetics items like old carpet and vinyl flooring.  The lien holder was American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc and the balance was $153,000. Hardship: The loan was an ARM and the sellers couldn't refinance due to being upside down. The sellers were having difficulty keeping up the payment.  Short sale scenario: You have to have patience when dealing with short sales, which with a phrase like short sale, you would expect quick and easy. Nope. Short sale ONLY applies to the house selling short of what's owed on the mortgage. Shucks! Anyway, this house was on the market for about 5 1/2 months from list date to closing. It took 3 offers before the final b...
