When it comes to less out of pocket expense at a rate that is competitive with other lenders such as the conventional types more people are choosing to go with the Govies; which are aka FHA, VA and USDA Loans.  However lenders are not always willing to adopt into practice the new programs being passed down byHUD. Lets just say it would appear that this particular program isn't being accepted with open arm's on main street so far. HUD recently launched a program aimed at helping people who are current on their mortgage loans; refinance to the lower prevailing rates being offered through FHA and VA Approved Lenders even if they are under ... 04/11/2011

It's early on a Sunday morning and, as usual, I'm getting caught up on things that got pushed aside during a busy week that is now behind me.  I do a lot of reading and research on Sunday mornings to get me informed, excited, educated, and prepared for another busy week ahead. While reading a KPMRS report (which is also a very useful and time saving tool for SEO research!) that I have 'auto sent' to me weekly that gives ranking stats for our website based on keywords, I stumbled across a very cool little tool called 'Bingle.nu' that I'm crazy about!

It finally happened!  One of my short sale customers was able to settle a mortgage for about 1/3 of the balance!  Almost every person that is upside down on their home, has thought, "Why not have the bank reduce the principle balance to what the home is worth, and let me keep my home from foreclosure?"    As a short sale agent in Bradenton with plenty of experience most sellers would be able to afford to keep the home if their mortgage payment was reduced to what the new buyer will pay.  Really, principle reduction is every underwater homenowner's wish.   The bank did their BPO, and about two weeks later they offered a cash settlement for the mortgage.  My seller owed over 80,000 on the home, and she was offered a buyout for 28,000.  She was able to borrow from family, and payoff her mo... 03/18/2011
