Is A Short Sale Right for A Struggling Orlando Homeowner?

Is A Short Sale Right for A Struggling Orlando Homeowner?

In today’s crumbling real estate market, many homeowners in the Orlando area are struggling with monthly mortgage payments and may soon face foreclosure. Negotiating revised loan terms would appear to be a good option however loan modifications are failing for many borrowers within a few months of the new arrangement. Another option to consider as a better choice is arranging a “short sale” with the company holding the mortgage. A short sale means the lender will accept less to pay off the loan than the balance owed. In most instances, the mortgage company will only negotiate a short sale through a licensed real estate agent and will not work directly with the homeowner. An experienced short sale agent will know how to work successfully with a lender and guide the homeowner through the process.

Should I purchase Orlando Real Estate now?

Should I invest in Orlando Real Estate?

The quick reply is Yes! The old adage applies in Orlando Real Estate as it does in the general investment arena – Buy Low and Sell High. We all know the Orlando Real Estate arena certainly has a major “correction” of late. If you are purchasing for the long term, now just might be the right time.

There is no time like the present to take advantage of the many attractive Orlando properties that are currently available – either for the long term, or simply to hold until prices recover. Many in the Real Estate industry feel that judicious investment now will be very lucrative in the near future. Looking for factors that might help your Orlando Real Estate investment plan might include:

Distressed Orlando properties with “good bones” are a good choice
Repair any structural repairs – roofing, painting, gutters etc
Determine and make the interior upgrades that will result in the greatest return
See if you can determine a current Orlando owner who has too many irons in the fire – they my well be ready to divest themselves of a particular property at a good price
Treat the property as a rental unit until the market improves
When the market returns to a level you are comfortable with – Sell

However, you might just decide the rental income is so attractive that you end up keeping the property in your Orlando portfolio. Whether you decide to keep the Orlando property long term or if you determine that selling short term is the answer – it is a very good time to purchase investment property.

Avoid Foreclosure by Doing a Short Sale

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:30:32 +0000

Orlando Homeowners in Trouble have many options!

Facing foreclosure in the Greater Orlando area is not only a financial crisis; it can also be an emotional crisis. So this is a time to take stock and examine your options.

There are several reasons why Orlando homes go into foreclosure. Perhaps the home was purchased at the peak of the real estate market and just before prices started to fall. Another scenario might be that the mortgage was interest only, so no equity was built up. Or perhaps the mortgage was an ARM and now the interest rates have risen, making it difficult for the Orlando owner to handle the mortgage along with daily expenses. The reason is part of the past, and these Orlando owners must now deal with the future. The first item on the agenda should be to avoid foreclosure.

If you can still pay your mortgage for the foreseeable future and don’t need to sell your Orlando home, then your best bet might be to wait out the market until the market is more favorable.

If you are unable to pay your current mortgage but could if refinancing was in the picture, you should negotiate with your Orlando lender. If they decline to refinance your mortgage then you should contact one of the government agencies offering assistance to homeowners who find themselves in your situation. This solution might include the agency working with your lender to strongly encourage them to refinance your home rather than foreclose.

The reasons your lender might not want foreclosure is because it really represents a no-win situation for both parties. A foreclosure is expensive and takes a great deal of time, and the lender ends up with an Orlando house they really don’t want, and when it goes to auction it likely will sell for far less than it should.

Steps in an Orlando Short Sale

A short sale is an involved process, but in a nutshell the Orlando seller needs to establish a selling price with the help of an Orlando Short Sale Expert, find a buyer and with an offer, in hand, and present the offer to the mortgage holder. Along with the offer you must disclose your finances, as well as a hardship letter that details why payments can no longer be made. Check with your lending institution to see if there is other information that is required. If the offer is ultimately accepted then you have taken the first step in your financial recovery.

Why a short sale is in your best interest. This is a step above foreclosure. Both show up on your credit report, but the short sale is less of a black mark than a foreclosure. While foreclosure is a legal settlement where lawyers and possibly their fees are involved, a short is between you and your lender, and you will be more able to buy another Orlando home, obtain credit cards at a better rate or even renting an Orlando home sooner than if you had gone through foreclosure. There is also a tax provision that waives income tax took effect 12/20/07. The provision excludes forgiven mortgage debt on a principal residence for the period of January 1, 2007 through January 1, 2010. Previously forgiven mortgage debt was considered the same as taxable income. Speak with your CPA for further information.

Evaluating Orlando Homes For Sale

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:28:21 +0000

Prospective Orlando home buyers should pre-determine some basic requirements before starting to look at homes in the Greater Orlando area. That said, very often a home will have some of the features you want and be lacking in others. Sometimes a buyer will be drawn to one house over another because the house feels comfortable and inviting. While this feeling shouldn’t be ignored, you should evaluate the house on its merits and how it meets the needs and wants you have pre-determined. The internet and your realtor can help you select homes to view.

Does the home meet your basic requirements?
Is the location in your targeted area?
Is the home priced in your comfort area?
How many of your “wants” vs needs does the house have?
Can any of the lacking “needs” or “wants” be easily added later?
Does the flow of house work for you and your family?
Does the price of the home allow for you to take on repairs and changes that you feel would be necessary? Especially the kitchen which is expensive to update.
Look past paint colors and the owners decorating style, as the paint is easy to change and they’ll take their items with them when they move.
If you are interested in a particular home, drive past it at different times of the day so you can see the street activity at those times. This will show you if there are children playing, what the street noise is, and if traffic will be an issue.

Once you’ve found the house you want to buy, be sure to view it again before the final decision is made. Try to take the emotion out of your decision – can you afford it, is the location really what you want, and are most of your “needs” met. Your Realtor can give you information on the home and help you in negotiating a price, but of course the final decision is up to you.
