Your Most Important Negotiation
No single element has to be more right than your rent. Getting locked into an expensive lease straps a school’s cash flow every 30 days.
Rent is presented either monthly or annually. In Florida, a 3,000-square-foot space at $10 per square foot annually may rent for $2,500 per month; 3,000 Read the rest of this entry »

How To Choose A Foreclosure And Mortgage Modification Company
Homeowners who are confronting the reality of a foreclosure have become food for mortgage brokers, loss mitigation or loan modification companies. Many new companies who contact you say they are foreclosure consultants or many other terms. They just pop up and get your contact information from title records or other means. It is very important to use a debt settlement company that has an actual state licensed attorney on the premises. There have been many instances of borrowers who are already in dire need getting scammed for promises the sales man can’t keep. Moreover, be certain that the attorney for the company practices mainly in real estate and not family law or other areas.
Most attorney backed companies will provide the applicant with a forensic loan document review whereby they analyze the loan’s closing statement, HUD1 settlement, loan application for any Truth in lending Violations or Predatory lending violations. And if there are some errors found (small or large), there is an 80 to 90% chance your terms will be changed with the lender. The fraud by lenders has been abundant for borrowers who have lower credit scores.
Statistics show that non-attorney backed loan modification companies end up providing nil for their clients and they cannot offer the client any legal protection due to the delays. In these types of situations, borrowers are caught being too late and lose their home through foreclosure along with their credit. It becomes a double-edge knife in their back.
Therefore, it cannot be stressed enough that you when go with a mortgage modification company you should work with one that has track record and the proper experienced people on staff who will work with assist you in stopping foreclosure and/or changing your mortgage terms such as rate, payment and the loan balance. Attorneys who are stated licensed must adhere to a strict code of conduct and higher ethical standards, and while they are not able to guarantee a successful result for your case, they are more than likely to accept it if they consider after evaluation there is a large opportunity to get you a positive result.

Euthanasia In The Real Estate Market: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Does the Real Estate market need a kick in the pants or a shot in the arm from good ole’ Dr. Kervorkian?
According to Bloomberg News, President Bush recently directed the Federal Housing Administration to guarantee loans for delinquent low-and-middle-income borrowers.
Hell-oooo!! Anybody home? No pun intended!
First, the majority of the people who borrowed from sub-prime lenders did so because they wouldn’t qualify, for whatever reason, for a conventional FHA mortgage. To counteract that fact, CNN said that Bush’s proposal may take the form of expanding the pool of borrowers who can apply to the FHA to refinance their loans.
Is this a good thing?
Maybe.
Maybe not so much.
Right now, if people refinance a loan that includes the lender forgiving any of the debt, there are a plethora of nasty tax liabilities that come into play. Same thing with a short sale. If Congress doesn’t work quickly to change that section of tax code, some homeowners who are actually able to take advantage of trying to re-fi through FHA may find they have a big IOU with the IRS.
And, as we all know, some of us all too well, the IRS doesn’t take kindly to IOUs. They’d much rather you show them the money – A.S.A.P. or E.L.S.E.
The “big picture” from the Mortgage Bankers Association report is that in the second quarter, the rate of loans entering the foreclosure process was 0.65 in the first quarter. The same report states that the percentage of sub-prime borrowers making late payments increased from 13.77. That’s a scary trend you definitely don’t want to be part of.
The bottom line is that this rapidly escalating foreclosure and potential foreclosure situation should never have been allowed to happen in the first place. Irrational and often predatory lending practices by some sub-prime lenders and some unscrupulous mortgage brokers, along with – let’s be honest here – some not so educated borrowers who decided to live outside of their means or who were trying to keep up with the proverbial Joneses – all share the blame for this economic fiasco.
While there are certainly honest sub-prime lenders and up-front mortgage brokers,
1000
an awful lot of nice folks have been truly taken to the cleaners by some not-so-nice mortgage lenders. Why this doesn’t go without saying, I have no clue, but homeowners need to GET EDUCATED AND DO THEIR HOMEWORK.
Here’s my assignment in a nutshell.
* Watch out for deceptive ads with the fine print in two-point font size,
* Get some high-powered reading glasses and read the fine print,
* Only use references from professionals you would trust your first-born’s financial future with,
* Research and understand the industry’s “alphabet soup”,
* Be aware of this tactic used by some Internet mortgage advertisers touting low-price loans: be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Web page, because often the little gotcha details are buried past a ton of blank space,
* Ask questions and then ask MORE questions,
* Get everything in writing,
* If that little voice inside of you has the teeniest, tiniest bit of doubt or confusion, hire a Real Estate attorney to go over the paperwork because a small investment now could literally save your home, your credit and your sanity, along with hundreds of thousands of future dollars,
* Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, no ifs, ands or buts — IT IS!!
With that said, what can be done right now to make life a little less sweat-soaked for homeowners already teetering on the edge?
Take a reality check on where you stand, lay it on the line, suck it up and be honest with your lender – they don’t want to take your house any more than you want to lose it. In addition, don’t demonize “everybody else” – taking responsibility feels good – thank you, Dr. Phil.
Along with consumers taking personal responsibility, I believe the industry and the government need to take what I call the hybrid “Jack Kervorkian/Dracula approach”. Euthanize the voracious practices of so many of the sub-prime lenders then drive a stake through their hearts so they don’t come back to life when this is all over. Because the massive amount of misery they create gets inflicted on the entire rest of the economy.
If we can get that to happen, as President Bush might say, we’d be doing a heck of a job.
