And how long is the wait to buy again?http://www.gofloridahomes.net/blogs/joanne_mckeage/archive/2011/11/22/foreclosures-can-take-2-years-to-process.aspxTue, 22 Nov 2011 16:28:00 GMTc09359e4-4d02-4e07-9a0e-6300fb39b490:1166166Joanne McKeage1<p>You should avoid foreclosure as your credit will be damaged, not to mention the stress and other hardships it will cause.  Here are the basic steps through a foreclosure:  </p><p>In Florida, your lender files a 'complaint' against you, explaining to a judge why it thinks that it should get your house as payment toward the debt you owe.  Typically you have 20 days to respond or you will be in 'default', meaning that your have waived all of your defenses to the lawsuit.  Your attorney will respond with a "motion to dismiss" or and "answer", perhaps asking the bank to prove it owns your mortgage and that is complied with banking law.</p><p>The 'discovery' (the gathering of facts by both sides) can take 6 months or more.  After the discovery period the lender typically makes a "motion for summary judgement", asking the judge to rule in its favor because the facts support the lender's side.</p><p>Most cases end here.  If the judge feels there are unresolved questions, there will be a trial. </p><p>If you win, you keep your house.  If the lender wins, which is much more likely, the judge sets a date for the home to be sold.  If the sale doesn't raise enough money, the lender can obtain a 'deficiency judgment' that gives it the right to come after you for the remaining money.  If you hire an attorney, the entire foreclosure process typically will take about 2 years.</p><p>How long is the wait to buy after foreclosure or short sale?  </p><p>Fannie May and Freddie Mac have a 3 year waiting period following a foreclosure, and a 2 year wait following a short sale or discharge or dismissal of bankruptcy.  If borrowers can justify that the circumstance for the foreclosure or bankruptcy occured because of illness or job loss or other extenuating circumstances, that may help reduce the wait.  But with no extenuating circumstances, former homeowners may have to wait longer, even up to 7 years following a foreclosure and 4 years after bankruptcy.  With loans insured by FHA, borrowers with perfect credit, in general, have to wait 3 years after foreclosure and 2 years after a bankruptcy is discharged.  After a short sale borrowers will have to wait 3 years to secure another FHA loan, though there are many exceptions.</p><img src="http://www.gofloridahomes.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1166166" width="1" height="1">Real EstateMarket ConditionsAnnouncementsIndustryFinancesBuyer InformationSeller InformationCommunity InformationWow, this Buyer got a fantastic deal!http://www.gofloridahomes.net/blogs/joanne_mckeage/archive/2011/11/21/wow-this-buyer-got-a-fantastic-deal.aspxMon, 21 Nov 2011 22:35:00 GMTc09359e4-4d02-4e07-9a0e-6300fb39b490:1165668Joanne McKeage1<p><strong>Wow, this Buyer got a fantastice deal!</strong>  I just sold 15274 SW 40th Street, Davie, FL 33331 to my lucky Buyer who purchased this 6 Brm, 5-1/2 Bath home in the gated community of Riverstone for $723,500.  This was a short sale and we got it done and approved in record time (5 weeks) from contract to close.  This dream home has it all... pool, lake front, and all the bells & whistles inside and out.  It was immaculately kept and has nothing but the best throughout.  A loss for the Seller but what a deal for my Buyer!  MLS #

Coffee was 15 cents a pound.  Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.  The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was only 30.</p><p>Now today we can forward an email to someone else without typing it and from there it will be sent to others all over the world - all in a matter of seconds!</p><p>Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. </p><img src="http://www.gofloridahomes.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1156580" width="1" height="1">TechnologyA Lowball offer?
