FHA Short Sales…Get Paid to Move out!

The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is helping borrower (s) move from their home with a program called Pre-Foreclosure Sale (PFS Program). This program allows borrowers who have fallen short on their payments and are now in pre-foreclosure sell their homes short of what they owe.

Basically, how the program works is if you meet certain criteria set forth by HUD…HUD will perform a new appraisal of your home and accept roughly 88% of the current homes value satisfying he old mortgage note.

Key Factors are:

• Borrowers/Sellers will receive cash incentive of up to $1,000
• The Mortgagee (your lender) or HUD will not pursue the borrower for a deficiency judgment
• Borrowers/Sellers must professionally & actively market property for up to 3 months which will delay any foreclosure proceedings.
• Must have a marketable title, title search must be performed and all liens should be cleared/discharged prior to closing
• Borrower can be current at time of submission but must be delinquent by at least 30 days prior to the closing
• Property values are determined by an FHA certified appraiser, using a “as-is” Fair Market Value (FMV)
• Mortgagor/Sellers must maintain property in “ready to show” condition
• Mortgagee/ lender must respond within 5 working days from receipt of the executed contract

Eligibility:
• The property must be owner-occupied, no “walk-a ways” or investment properties. Exceptions: when it is verifiable that the need to vacate was related to the cause of default (job loss, transfer, divorce, death), and the subject property was not purchased as rental investment, or used as a rental for more than 18months.

• The Mortgagor must be 31 days or more delinquent at the time of the Pre-foreclosure Sale closing.

• The Mortgagor must provide documentation substantiating a reduction in income or an increase in living expense, and documentation that verifies the Mortgagors need to vacate the property (if applicable).

What is a reverse mortgage?

A Florida Reverse Mortgage allows older homeowner’s (62+) to convert home equity into cash through monthly income, a line of credit or cash. The Florida reverse mortgage is different from conventional home equity loans: No income or credit qualifications, no monthly or immediate repayment due. The Florida reverse mortgage is repaid when the home is no longer the primary residence of the borrower (s).

There are several types of Reverse Mortgages:

• FHA insured HECM, sponsored by a branch of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
• Fannie Mae Home Keeper, sponsored by Fannie Mae
• Proprietary programs by private banks

FL Reverse Mortgage Property Qualifications

Single family up to four units…

The borrower has to reside in one unit as their primary residence but can rent the other unit (s).

Condos…
The condominium needs to be HUD approved or receive HUD spot approval. This can be done with a spot condominium affidavit completed by the homeowners association (provided by the lender). Special assessments and on-going litigation are not acceptable. HOA reserve must be sufficient. Planned Unit Developments (PUD).

Manufactured Homes…
Manufactured Homes maybe acceptable under certain conditions.

How do I the borrower get paid?

Monthly Payments…
As a tenure plan: receive a check for as long as one lives in their home.

As a term payment: receive a check for a certain period, i.e. 10 years or 15 years (only available on the HECM).

Line of Credit…
With the FHA HECM loan, the balance in the credit line could grow at .5% higher than the current interest rate being accrued. This could result in more money available for the borrower at future dates (There is no growth rate with the Fannie Mae Home Keeper loan).

Lump Sum or a Combination of the above…
With either the FHA or Fannie Mae loans, the payment plan may be changed during the term of the loan. A small one-time fee will be charged to the loan balance at the time of each change.
