My new Bank Short Sale negotiation tactic

I just finished reading "Short Sales and Loan Modifications" by Kenneth Lawson who is an attorney. He has a VERY AGGRESSIVE negotiating tactic that is not for the faint of heart. We are going to implement it immediately.

I recommend the book to anyone who is going to attempt bank short sales!! :-)

Have you missed the bottom for house prices in Central Ohio????

This image shows the most recent stats for CENTRAL OHIO. Don't listen to the national media!! We are in a recovery period folks. Buy now while it is still a buyers market because it is leaving........

The single most asked question we get is, "When are prices going to bottom out??"

The answer to that is, "We won't ever know we have hit the bottom until we are on the way back up--which means the bottom has already passed us."

It is just like the stock market--you cannot time the bottom of the market......because the bottom is defined as the period at which prices start to go up. You cannot realize the bottom until it is OVER, GONE, KAPUT, FIN........

HEADLINE MAY 27TH, 2009:

Home sales, prices rise again in April, inventory falls 16 percent

"(May 27, 2009) April showed increasing signs of stability in the central Ohio housing market, as home sales and prices increased, while homes on the market fell by a double-digit percentage, the Columbus Board of REALTORS® said today. "

If you (or someone you care about) are planning on ever buying a home--do it NOW. It is the perfect storm.

Warren Buffet says that there is a housing opportunity ONCE PER GENERATION that happens that is unlike any other. Folks this is it!!!

1. Free $8000 in government money from the federal government

2. State and county incentives to purchase a home

3. Prices that make Central Ohio on the most affordable list for the United States

4. The LOWEST fixed interest rates in the history of our country

Good luck to all of you.

Stacey and I only have room for 3 more buyers for our VIP Buyer Program. Please let us know if you would like us to speak with someone you care about to see if they qualify for our program.

We will try to squeeze them in before this perfect storm ends and things swing back to the sellers being in control. All the indicators show that it will not be very long from now.......

BRAND NEW Incentives in OHIO to Buy a Home--FREE $$$

Hello,

Please pass this along to any people you may know who might be considering buying a home.

The Government just rolled out another incentive to purchase. It is for a limited time, but it is incredible!!

Here are the highlights.....I can explain further if you email me.

---Down Payment assistance grant--

If paying for a down payment and closing costs have kept you from getting into a home of your own, OHFA's Down Payment Assistance Grant may be able to help. Eligible borrowers participating in the First-Time Homebuyer Program, Target Area Loan Program, and Ohio Heroes Program can use the grant to greatly reduce the out-of-pocket expenses associated with buying a home.

• If you qualify for one of OHFA's home loan programs, you can choose to take advantage of the Down Payment Assistance Grant.
• OHFA will issue a grant in an amount up to 2.5% of your home's purchase price.
  You can use the grant to pay for the down payment, closing costs, or other prepaid expenses incurred prior to closing. Keep in mind that while the grant will greatly reduce your expenses, you may still be required to pay for some costs out of pocket.

Here is the BRAND NEW additional help being provided by the State of Ohio as well:

--homebuyer tax credit advantage program --

Let OHFA help you with down payment and closing costs through the Homebuyer Tax Credit Advantage Program featuring no interest and no loan payments until August 2010. Eligible borrowers participating in the First-Time Homebuyer Program or Ohio Heroes Program can use the loan to greatly reduce the out-of-pocket expenses associated with buying a home.
If you qualify for one of OHFA's home loan programs, you can choose to take advantage of the Homebuyer Tax Credit Advantage Program.

• OHFA will issue a loan, as a second mortgage, up to 3% of the purchase price of the home.
  You can use the loan to pay for the down payment, closing costs, or other prepaid expenses incurred prior to closing. Keep in mind that while the loan will greatly reduce your expenses, you may still be required to pay for some costs if they are not covered by the loan.
• If you take advantage of the loan, your second mortgage interest rate will be fixed at 1% higher than OHFA's current mortgage rates and you will begin paying August 1, 2010.
• You may be eligible for a new federal First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000.
• You may claim the credit either on your 2008 federal tax return, due April 15, 2009, or on your 2009 tax return filed in 2010. More information about the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit is available from the IRS web site.
• Incentives are available if you choose to prepay the Homebuyer Tax Credit Advantage loan by June 30, 2010. Otherwise, your mortgage payment will increase slightly due to the added second mortgage loan payment.

These two programs essentially bring back the $0 down loan program for many buyers.

Contact me to see if you or someone you know qualifies. It is quite simple. Don't miss out!!

Deadline is in 6 months......the clock is ticking to claim one of the biggest incentives to buy a home ever put on by the US Government and The State of Ohio Government.

Bank Short Sale without major credit damage

Recent changes to lender guidelines are allowing people to short sale their home without going late on their mortgage.

This allows the homeowner to sell their home and avoid major damage to their credit.

We have great success negotiating mortgage debt forgiveness for our clients. That means the lender forgives all the "negative equity" in the home and the seller can move on with their lives and purchase another home.

If you want to learn how to take advantage of this program or to see if it applies to your particular situation, drop us an email.
