(Bergen Couny, NJ Remax Elite Assoc. - Short Sale Specialist)
I have recently sold another short sale in Hackensack NJ.  The condo was located at 115 Polifly Road in Hackensack and was 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  The condo complex was Continental Parc in Hackensack. This property was purchased by my client in 4/17/2006 for $345,000. This was near the height of the market, where everyone was purchasing real estate and never thought things would get as bad as they are now. With the help of my client, we worked as a team to get her property sold. She listened to my guidance and things turned out great.  I negotiated with Amtrust Bank, which is a bank based out of Cleveland Ohio.  I was able to obtain a short sale approval within 4 weeks.  The quick approval was due to my expertise in short sales. The approval amount was for $243,000.  That is $102,0...

    FHA loans - Mortgages keep changing because of the economy. Just a few days ago, HUD put out mortgagee letter 2009-08, that states a major change in cash-out loans. This change has been talked about since November of last year and it's now official. The main reason is because of the deterioration of the housing market and HUD wants to reduce its risk and that makes sense. What is the new change? You will no longer be able to pull cash-out up to 95% of the value of your home. It is now reduced back to 85% of the value of your home. This has been the old way prior to 2006 or so. This new change goes into effect with any new FHA case number on or after April 1st, 2009.  And no, this is not a pre April fools joke.       A comparison with FHA loans to conventional loans when talking abo...

FYI - these tips in this first time homebuyers series are not just for newbies/first time homebuyers)   Mortgage programs can sometimes be the death of us. In recent years, this has already happened. This can be confusing, because so many people have opinions. Opinions from loan officers, realtors, your family, friends, neighbors, and or co-workers.  What can we learn from this First Time Homebuyer Tips series? I think it goes back to the basics of mortgages, which was part 1. Am I telling you to listen to me and only me?  No, not that. You need to know that loan officer actually knows what they are talking about, because this can get you in trouble sometimes, depending on who you listen to. Some loan officers think they know it all and sound like it.  Just because someone sounds really...
