Post     Post subject: Question

I currently own a condo with my now ex girlfriend. We are both on the title, but she is the only one on the mortgage. I have been living there and paying the mortgage, while in the process of refinancing in my name. I have since decided that I no longer wish to keep the condo and gave her the option of buying me out (I put all the money down) or selling it. Today I received a call from the bank stating she called them asking about deed in lieu of foreclosure, even though the loan is not in default at the moment. My question is, since I am on the title, will my signature be required to proceed with a deed in lieu if the loan defaults? Also, what liability (just being on the title and not the mortgage) would I have in the event of a foreclosure?

Thanks

Hi,

To jay,

As your name is on the title of the property, I think your signatures will be required by the lender. But you will not be liable for the mortgage payments in any way. Also as your name is not on the mortgage note, your credit will not be affected. It will be your ex-girlfriend's credit that will be affected.

To Jackie,

It may be possible to get a deed in lieu foreclosure on the second mortgage but then you will have to pay the first mortgage in full. Otherwise the first mortgage lender will object to the deed in lieu foreclosure.

Post     Post subject: Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

Hello,

Wanted to clarify a question & answer that I received.

As a reminder, I am current on all payments for a property.

If I give the property back to the lender, who sold to me via Seller Financing, will I incur a tax consequence when he receives back the property @ the mortgage balance although I am current on all payments? The mortgage balance would be the pseudo "Sales Price" for the property.

Thanks & have a great day.

Hi JR

In my opinion, if you are receiving any money from that person then you may have to pay taxes. If the sale price does not cross the exemption limit, then you will not have to pay the taxes.

Thanks.

Post     Post subject: Request for information.

I am attempting to negotiate a Deed in Lieu on my principle residence with a lender. My house has been on the market for over one year with no sale or offers. The lender's requirements for a deed in lieu arrangement indicate that the home must have been on the real estate market for over 90 days. When told that my residence has been on the market for over one year I was told by the lender that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines require that my home continue on the market for an additional 90 days at a "short sale" price before they will even consider a deed in lieu arrangement. Is anyone aware of whether or not this statement made to me by the lender is true ??? Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Ray M.

As far as I know, the property has to be listed with the realtor for 90 days in order to get approved for a short sale. If your property has been already listed for 90 days, then I think the lender should agree to a short sale. In my opinion, you should seek a proper explanation from the lender about why he is not agreeing for a short sale. If he cannot give you a satisfactory reply, then you should negotiate about a deed in lieu foreclosure.

Thanks.

Post     Post subject: Choices?

I currently recieved a new job in a different state. I purchased a second home in that state and my family has moved there. My old home in the area I used to live has dropped in value to a point that I owe more than it is currently worth. I have one primary loan and a line of credit drawn on the old home. I am not behind on any payments at this time, but lets just say budgets are tight. The house has been on the market for about 120 days.

My current plan is to contact a real estate lawyer, but this will add cost right now that I really can not afford if it does not help in the end.

Would I be better off calling the companies that the house is morgaged under first and seeing if they can let me short sell the home? If so how do I do this with two banks involved?

Would it be quicker to just go straight to a deed in lieu of foreclosure?

Can I do this without actually being behind on payments?

Can they attach leans to my new house if they don't get full repayment?

Thank you in advance!

Post     Post subject: Died in lieu

I own a 2nd home in Saint Petersburg, Fl. I bought it in August of 2006 for $218k with a 80/10/10 loan with Wells Fargo (both first and 2nd mortgage are with Wells Fargo). The condo is now worth $70k at the most. My income has dropped and I have a baby on the way. I have $25k in one IRA, $65k in another IRA rollover, $20k in a 401k, and about $20k in CDs and cash. I can no longer afford the payments and I believe a died in lieu will be my best option. I am still current on my payments, but I have literally been paying the mortgage with my savings account. So eventually I will not be able to make the payments at all. Furthermore, I am having trouble even finding a Real Estate agent that is willing to list it. Do you think Wells Fargo would even consider doing a Died in Lieu? What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated. My wife and I are about to have our first baby, but I feel like we cannot even enjoy the experience because this is looming over our heads. Crying or Very sad

Hi Timmy,

You should immediately contact Wells Fargo and tell them about your hardship. You will have to write a hardship letter to the lender and apply for a deed in lieu. But it is totally their discretion whether they will accept it or not.

Thanks,

Hi ROLF

As far as I know, you will be able to go for a deed in lieu with your construction loan. But it will be the lender's discretion whether he will accept it or not. You should immediately contact your lender and speak to him about your hardship. But you should note that a deed in lieu foreclosure will affect your credit and lower your credit score by around 250 points.

Thanks.
