Will the new HAFA Program Work or Not? http://fridaycoffeebreak.com/2010/05/the-latest-unknown-government-short-sale-changes-will-the-new-hafa-program-work-or-not/ http://fridaycoffeebreak.com/2010/05/the-latest-unknown-government-short-sale-changes-will-the-new-hafa-program-work-or-not/#comments Fri, 07 May 2010 03:22:20 +0000 Patrick Precourt http://fridaycoffeebreak.com/?p=527 On this week’s Friday Coffee Break we dig into two of the latest and greatest government changes in their infamous HAFA Short Sale Program.  You won’t believe what they added this time that will make your sellers pretty mad! We also cover our upcoming Equator.com webinar, our upcoming PropTrackr.com webinar, whether or not a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) that gets charged off will qualify for the HAFA Program, whether or not you can collect a loss mitigation fee on top of a real estate agent commission, the best way to turn a potential wholesale short sale flip into profit when you are dealing with a lender who has a 30 day no resale clause and you have no money, and much more.  Visit www.FridayCoffeeBreak.com for more real estate specific videos and check out www.PropTrackr.com for the industry’s best online Real Estate Management Tool — developed by North Shore Enterprises!

One day the government comes up with a new program that states our sellers are not liable for the tax portion of the forgiven debt only to find out that again they wasted the Tax Payer’s money (our money) because only a tiny pool of homeowners actually qualify! Listen in as I go over how long after a short sale transaction that a lender can go after our clients (the homeowner(s)), what to do when you are negotiated a short sale only to find out the lender requires the property be listed by a licensed real estate agent, the best place to find money today to finance our deals, and much more.
