  • Short Sales | Future Financing Options

    Welcome to ExtremeShortSale.com and the Gregory Real Estate Group!  Take a look at this outstanding video by our valued associate and expert Loan Consultant, Keith Renno of The Renno Lending Team and Prospect Mortgage. Keith has achieved amazing results for our buyers and Matt Gregory, of the Gregory Real Estate Group highly recommends The Renno Lending Team. You’ll see Keith in the video and he clearly explains some of the strategies for those seeking to obtain financing after a Santa Clarita Short Sale. Important Fact: After a homeowner completes their short sale, it’s possible, in some instances, to obtain FHA financing for a new home almost immediately! Take a listen to Keith and find out more! Click here to learn a little more about Keith and Jason or call directly at 661-513-3118.

    Keith Renno, of the Renno Lending Team correctly explains in his video, how long it takes to obtain financing for another home after a Santa Clarita short sale. He points out how it often makes more sense, financially, to short sale a home as opposed to keeping a home and continue struggle with a tough mortgage. After a Santa Clarita short sale, or a short sale in any other community, it’s possible to obtain a new FHA Loan in almost immediately. Many of our clients were in an extreme upside down position with their mortgages. It would have taken some of them 15 to 20 years to regain the equity in their loans. That’s absurd! Some of our clients were able to short sale their home, walk away from their toxic mortgage and buy another home in within a year. In most cases, it’s one to three years but that beats the heck out of the 15 to 20 years to regain the lost equity! It also beats the heck out of a foreclosure which can take about seven years to clean up the credit enough to obtain a new home loan. Many of our clients had obtained a loan modification and ended up defaulting anyway! That’s not uncommon at all. Did you know, that 67% of all those that receive a loan modification actually default in the first year! the truth is, a loan modification is not for everyone. The truth is, a loan modification is only right for a very few people.

    Remember, loan modifications are usually not the solution. If you’re struggling with your mortgage it’s best to consult with an expert to discover your options and find the solution best suited for your specific situation. We believe the main stream media, our major lending institutions and government are pushing the loan modifications as the best solution for all. This is just not true! In fact, loan modifications are only right for those experiencing a temporary income loss and not long term loss. Did you know that 67% of all Loan Modifications end up defaulting in the first 9 to 12 months? Why, you ask? Because folks are are just trying to save their homes by obtaining loan modifications. It’s only natural to want to save what’s yours! It’s usually best to short sale your home if you’ve lost income and will continue to lose income for more that three to six months.

    .

    That’s it for now! Contact us today and we’ll be happy to meet with you to determine your real estate needs. Especially our Santa Clarita Short Sale buyers and sellers.

  • Short Sale | Foreclosure | Your Credit

    Good morning from our team here at ExtremeShortSale.com! Today, Keller Williams Real Estate Agent & Certified Distressed Property Expert, Matt Gregory interviews Expert Loan Officer Keith Renno of Prospect Mortgage. They discuss how a short sale or foreclosure affects your future credit and your ability to obtain a real estate loan in the future. Take a listen and these sharp young professionals will provide the information you’re looking for.  Watch the video and read below to find out more!

    Yesterday we wrote a post reminding everyone of the definition of a  short sale and why it’s a better option that a foreclosure. Visit our recent posts here on this site to learn more about the definition of a short sale. 

    .

    Why ShortSale?
    Short Sales are your best defense against Foreclosure.  Additionally, short sales release homeowners from bad mortgage debt and provide a fresh start . Don’t misunderstand, your FICO score will still take a major hit, but moving forward, if you keep your bills paid on time you should be able to finance the purchase a new home in two years. The nation’s two largest mortgage investors, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — with certain exceptions — won’t lend to you again for five years (foreclosure) and two years (short sale).
     The lenders are fair better with a short sale than they do with a foreclosure. Still, in many cases they still can make it difficult due to their slow response to the submitted short sale package as well as their inflated in house BPO appraisals . By short selling their home, the borrower can move forward with their lives and look two years ahead to their future credit worthiness as opposed to five years for a foreclosure. Once the short sale transaction is complete it’s critical that the seller keep their bills paid on time and do everything necessary to improve your FICO score. It just takes time, but two years is a lot shorter time period than five years.
    .
    If you decide to short sell your home it’s critical you use a real estate agent that’s is highly experienced in short sales. Certified Distressed Property Expert, Matt Gregory of Keller Williams Realty in Santa Clarita is one of those agents. You may contact him at 661-290-3735  or click  here. He’ll be happy to speak to you confidentially to help you explore your options and find a solution.
    .

    If your looking for a loan we highly suggest you contact Keith Renno at 818-521-8515 or visit his website at scvrealestatebox.com.

    .

    We hope this post helps clear up some of the questions associated short sales, foreclosures and your credit. Remember, be careful of those scams out there! Don’t give anyone any money up front for a loan modification. Watch out for the Forensic Loan Audits or Securities check. There rarely result in any substantial findings and you’ll spend $3000. to $5000. for nothing. Just remember this: If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!
    .
                         

    If you’re struggling with your mortgage and want to learn about your possible options we suggest attending next weeks FREE Town Hall Community meeting here in Santa Clarita. It’s Wednesday, 6/23/10 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm here in Valencia. Please contact us asap to reserve a seat. Seating is limited so you must contact us in advance to attend. There will be an expert panel of professionals to speak and answer questions you have.
