Here’s the (my) Answer to WHY
Banks Make Such Crazy/Illogical/
Sometimes
Stupid Decisions! (Part III)

Second:

This will be a little political but bear with me.  It (as most of
what I do and say) is based on data.  It’s drilled in me.  Data
shows what works and what doesn’t work.  It shows the bank
whether my offer is a good offer or not.

So here’s my scoop

You know/understand that

  • Fannie
  • Freddie
  • HAFA
  • HAMP
  • FHA
  • TARP

are all tied to the government, The Federal Government.  They took money from
the government and are now beholding to the government…even if they did
pay back all the money borrowed.  They are still getting benefits and probably
owe them things we don’t know about.  I know you do know that.
It’s just important that you remember that for my following reason.

Just recently, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Don Berwick to the position of
Head of Medicare and Medicaid for the US Federal Government.  Obama
appointed him and skipped the Confirmation Process.  Dr. Berwick was just
appointed.  No opposition. No opportunity to discuss any opposition and for
those reading and feel I’m being biased, no opportunity for the positive side of
his life either and the good he has brought in the past and could bring to our
country in the future.

And now you are wondering “what does a new Medicare appointee, health
care division have to do with banks making stupid decisions and the real
estate business/market.”  Am I right?  Hang on and hold on.  I’m getting there.

In a speech Dr. Berwick made on July 1, 2008, at the NHS National Health Service
single payer health system in Great Britain, he said and I quote

“any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must MUST
redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poor and less fortunate.
Excellent health care is by definition redistributional”

He said this about Britain who has a 600% higher prostate cancer death
rate than the US.

He also talks about the current American Health Care system as “running
in the darkness of private enterprise.”  Is this how they might see the real
estate industry?  Redistribute the real estate to the poor and less fortunate
because they believe private enterprise can’t do it…without government
help?

Don’t take my word for it.  Here is the link  http://www.redstate.com/ben_domenech/2010/05/12/obama-nominee-donald-berwick%E2%80%99s-radical-agenda/

Last I remember to “redistribute wealth” was a communist belief.  And, yes,
he said this two years ago.  Yes, a leopard can change their spots.  Yes, yes, I
could be reading way too much into this, but what if I’m not?

What if this has been the plan all along

  • to take over America s-l-o-w-l-y, one business at a time?
  • And re-distribute wealth?

Small business are failing.  Ask a chiropractor, a doctor who
accepts Medicare patents, etc.  Look
at your local malls and count the empty stores.   Let’s see, they have

  • General Motors, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC, etc.
  • Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, etc.
  • The banks, Freddie, Fannie, FHA, all the defaulted notes are now owned
    by the government
  • Land 20%+ of the US currently

The Government Wants To Own More Houses

Are they planning on “giving houses to government employees” or giving houses
to welfare?  They could do this…in exchange for their vote.

Did you know the government is “renting” houses to tenants when their
landlord’s rental property has been foreclosed?  The government is widening their
horizons.

Did you know the government owns 20-30% of the land of this country?

If we have to have the government approve everything,
we have lost our freedom.

If the government does own 1/2 of everything in the country, do we have the
ability to buy things?  Houses, businesses, land? or is our only choice
to work for the government and lose our freedom?

This would make more people go into foreclosure, less people to buy houses,
more houses in foreclosure to give to the poor and take from the rich.

If the banks have been instructed to take back as many houses that don’t met
the stringent criteria then the government will own even more houses.

Don’t get me wrong.  I pray I’m wrong.  I pray more and more people see what
is going on and their is still time to stop it.

I’d love to hear your comments.

We and my students are still closing short sales.  We are still doing
double closes.  We are still make $20,000 to $30,000+ on double
closes.  But not as often as we did because of some of the bank’s
restrictions and their silly decisions.

I will continue to do short sales.  We are helping homeowners.  We are
buying, selling, renting, houses and making money.  We are making profits!
We are just being more selective in the houses and banks we do work with.

I’ve got 3 scheduled to close in August that we will be making
$20,000 plus.  There are opportunities.  It is only over when we quit.

I’m not quitting and I won’t let you quit either.

Once you know the potholes, it is MUCH easier to go around
them.  This is exactly what we talk about and more on the
coaching calls.  Are you ready to sign up?

You don’t want to be working short sales without some insider
information.  Get it on my coaching calls.  Call NOW!

Why are the banks making such crazy decisions?

It depends on what side you are on as to whether they are bad or stupid.

But WHY:

  • Did they change the FHA 90 Seasoning rule when they waived it just 150 days ago and allow you to resell after a 2nd appraisal?
  • Does Fannie want to start going after the deficiency judgments and not let those who walk away and could really afford the monthly payment to not get loans for 7 years?
  • Does HAFA’s new rules insist you hold the property 90 days before you resell?
  • Only give help to people who are way behind in payments and not to the struggling homeowner who is giving up lots to just keep making their mortgage payment and not have a life?
  • Do banks take their houses to foreclosure when the buyer is a Company?  (LLC, Corp, Etc.)
  • Do banks not accept offers from companies (LLC, Etc.)?

I do have the answer.  I haven’t seen it anywhere else.  No other guru or short sale writer is talking about the answer.

I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!

And you don’t have to sign up for my coaching to get the answer…although….

You will have to log in tomorrow to this blog to find the answer!

Pass this on to your friends and enemies.  They will NOT LIKE the answer.

Everybody has their own definition of Pre-Foreclosure vs Foreclosure. Yes, it can be confusing. Especially when the people who are selling it can’t even get it right.

Even the big speaking all over the country guru’s think they know the answer. And I think they are wrong!

So, I’m hear to set the definition straight.

The definition of foreclosure is the easiest (I think) so we’ll start there. That is AFTER the gavel has dropped and the house has been sold at the foreclosure sale – Trustee or Sheriff sale – depending on your state. And if the bank bought the property back (not an individual attending the sale) then it becomes an REO – Real Estate Owned by the bank.

A pre-foreclosure is when some of the payments on the mortgage are late. The bank is still willing to work with the homeowner. They could possibly bring it current, do a loan modification or forbearance or even a short sale. It is the time before the gavel drops and the property is sold.

A bank owned property is after the gavel drops and the deed changes names to the bank. This is also called an REO.

Now to confuse you even more, depending on the length of time it takes in your state or county to actually get the deed from the foreclosure sale into the hands of the new owner (bank or individual) there is still time to vacate the sale.

I read emails and blogs of Realtor all the time that seem to have no clue as to what this means or that it exists.

This is just another reason to get a short sale specialist doing your short sales if you’re a homeowner and to be one of my coaching students if you are an investor!

What do you think? Has the FHA Seasoning rule changed for the better even if you are doing short sales and double closes? Do you think you can still get them done in 1 day?

So many “special” requirements. Only 20% profit or you need 2 appraisals and probably all your receipts that show how much you spent to improve the value, property marketed open and fairly, no previous flipping with the past 12 months…and the big one. The one all the vendors are coming out of the woodwork selling their new program so this one will work.

The Seller Must Hold Title to the Property

If you are already one of my coaching students you know we already fit that criteria. No need to depend on somebody else’s money for 7 – 14 days while you get on title, no need to hold the property HOPING the C buyer really does close the sale 2 weeks later. No extra stress keeping your fingers crossed convincing your lender the buyer will buy.

No need to do lots of repairs and keep all your receipts – at least in most cases.

If you are buying short sales on an Option to Purchase Contract…and Know How To Explain It to the Underwriter of the end buyers lender…You are Good!

When we record the Notice of Option at the County Court House that the buyer and seller both sign and notarize (if you are already my coaching student – yes I have changed the form and you should be getting the updated version soon) you know you already show up on title with all the rights of the seller.

That’s why we’ve been able to complete double closes already with conventional lenders, without trusts and a comfort lender from the end lender. We did, can and could act as the seller.

OK, so I’m probably one of the few who are saying this. And Yes, it does need to be tested. And it will be just like the conventional loans – each one will be different and get special approval from each underwriter. SO…

Start your conversation early with the buyer’s underwriter. Let them know exactly what you are doing. How you are buying the property, that you are reselling for a profit and you believe it will appraise at the higher value.

This is why the Options have worked in the past. The deal is transparent. Those who need to see all about the deal see all they need to see about the deal.

We’ve had 2 appraisals before we could close on other deals. That hasn’t changed. We haven’t shown receipts of the work we do. Can we get by with that now? I don’t see why not.

Again, each case will be different but don’t start spending money anticipating you can’t do these deals. Be persistent, be proactive, be confident in the Option Contracts.

If you need more convincing – check me out for my coaching. You will be persistent, accountable, proactive, confident and get your deals closed!

Here is the prisoner’s dilemma.

When you cloud the title of a short sale with the Notice of Option and your C buyer goes behind your back (after signing a contract with you for $10,000 more than you owe the Seller A) to Seller A and creates their own deal, cutting you completely out of the deal, do you show up at closing?

Here’s the rest of the story.

We knew C had gone to A because A called B and was furious.  You’re making $10,000 on my house!  How could you do that and not give me any of the money?

C had proven to be a sneaky snake oil salesman.  And he painted the picture that B, the investor, was really the sneaky snake oil salesman and A believed it.  When in fact, B was the only one doing what the Option paperwork and subsequent Purchase Contract to C said she would do.

  • Buy the property,
  • Find another buyer,
  • Resell the property and
  • Make her money on the spread.

The investor had spent months working on this transaction only to be left out in the cold at the end.  She did need to close by the end of the month to meet the banks’ requirements.  She would have made it too but C went to A, took more time, C decided he could negotiate better with the bank and get an extension into the following month, making up a story to A and forcing B to back out.

B did however, send an acceptance letter to the attorney who was to close the now A to C purchase that she would uncloud the title for $5,000. – release her Notice of Option.  Just 1/2 of what she would have made had everybody done what they originally agreed to.

A mistakening sent an email to B (which was meant for the closing attorney) saying she felt sure B would “get out of the way with a payment of only $2,000.  Just tell her to show up at 4:30p.m.  she’ll show up and take it, we don’t have to pay her $5,000″.

The question is; what would you do?






I’ll publish the results of the survey here in a few weeks.
