Post     Post subject: deed in lieu

My bank recently started the foreclosure process. I have been contacting them for 8 months to try and modify the loan and haven't succeeded. Now the payments are 4 - 5 months behind. I have asked about deed in lieu and they say that the property has to be listed for 3 months. Is this accurate or is there a way to bypass this? The loan is thru Wells Fargo.

Hi deborah,

You may be able to obtain a lawyer in another state but it would be better if you could obtain the lawyer in the same state where your property is located.

Hi anonymous,

You will have to list the property for 3 months and check out if you can get a buyer for the property. If you don't get any buyer, then the lender can start off with the deed in lieu of foreclosure procedure.

Thanks

Hi Jim!

Welcome to forums!

Rather than letting the lender foreclose the property, it would be a better option to go for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The lender will forgive the dues resulting from the property sale. If you wish, you can go after her to recover the losses.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Agree with DIL. Your indicating HOA fees would be included in DIL forgiveness? Also any taxes, interest, attorneys fees for HOA, how can those be directed to her for responsabilaty of satisfaction. Where to look for precidence? Thanks.

Hi Jim,

The HOA fees may not be included when your mortgage balance is forgiven. You will have to pay off the HOA fees in full.

Post     Post subject: HAFA Program

Hi Deborah,
I had an 80/20 mortgage, and found myseld falling behind. I applied for modification on both loans. The 80 portion was approved and modified, the 20 portion was denied and written off, and has now since gone to an outside collection agency. I recieved notice from the collection agency by mail last week. Yet..... yesterday I recived a FedEx package form the lender that wrote off the 20 portion, offering me concideration for the HAFA, which invloves short sale or deed-in-lieu. None of which I want. I wanted to save my home, ehich is why I applied for the modification. Still not understanding how the 80,000 portion could be approved, but the 30,000 written off by the second lender in which I owe the lesser ofthe two amounts. Also, how could they now offer me concideration for the HAFA, if they are no longer holding my loan, and wrote it off- sold it to someone else???

Post     Post subject: Upside down mortgage

I recently moved from a home that mortgage far exceed what the property is going for in that area. In order to secure my home from vandalism I have rented the property for less than half of the mortgage. I am struggling with payments but I am not more than 30 days delinquent. I will retire in two years and will not be able to make up the difference in the mortgage. What options do I have on mortgage property that I am not living in.

Can't keep up with payments on an investment property. Bank says "deed in lieu". Valuation will cover the debt. I have insufficient income for modification. Will I have a tax hit? Owner is an LLC, if that matters.

Hi Guest,

It is completely the second lender's discretion whether or not he would modify the loan. Though the first lender has modified the loan, the second lender can charge off the loan to a collection agency that can harass you for payments. You can ask the lender to withdraw the account from collections and negotiate with him so that he gets ready to modify the loan.

Hi Guest,

If you want to get rid of the property, then you can apply for a short sale. This will help you in selling off the property. You would be liable for paying off the balance dues resulting from the property sale. However, you can always negotiate with your lender so that he forgives the dues.

Hi anonymousjoe,

There won't be a tax hit if you go for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The sale of the property will recover the mortgage balance in full. Thus, the lender won't forgive any dues. So, the question of tax hit does not arise here.

Post     Post subject: Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure

I have been in a short sale/foreclosure process for about 7 months and have been unable to sell the property which has depreciated 50% in 3 years. There is a first and second mortgage on the residence and the first mortgage holder has sent me a Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure Agreement which I received today. How does this work if a person has a 1st and 2nd mortgage?
