According to a group of state banking regulators and attorneys general, six out of 10 seriously delinquent borrowers are not involved in loss mitigation efforts. Perhaps the most divisive proposal put forth by the group is that government programs should make principal reductions a priority in areas where home prices have plummeted.<br /> <br /> <br /> FHA to Provide Early Relief to Struggling Homeowners<br /> In an announcement Friday, HUD said homeowners with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) who are experiencing financial hardship are now eligible for loss mitigation assistance before they fall behind on their mortgage payments. Previously, these homeowners were not eligible for such assistance until after they had missed payments.<br /> <br /> <br /> Commercial Real Estate Prices Break 13-Month Losing Streak<br /> After a 13-month run of steady price declines, U.S. commercial property prices rose 1 percent in November, Moody&rsquo;s Investors Service said this week. Despite the short-term boost, Moody&rsquo;s says it expects prices to resume falling in the coming months as occupancyand rental rates continue to decline, but depreciation should be less severe than the sector experienced in the middle of 2009, when some index readings showed price dives in excess of 5 percent.<br /> <br /> <br /> Foreign Investors in Real Estate Pledge Allegiance to U.S.<br /> Despite a lack of placement opportunities in 2009, foreign investors in real estate say they remain committed to the United States as their preferred real estate investment opportunity. This sentiment is underscored by a dramatic increase in the number of overseas market participants identifying the U.S. as offering the best potential for real estate capital appreciation, according to the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You are receving this email because you opted in at our website dsnews.com or attended a Five Star Conference.<br /> <br /> Unsubscribe Tiffanydawn@me.com from this list.<br /> <br /> Corporate Office:<br /> DS News<br /> 1909 Woodall Rodgers<br /> Suite 300<br /> Dallas, TX 75201<br /> <br /> Add us to your address book<br /> Washington Bureau:<br /> 1101 Pennsylvania Avenue NW<br /> Suite 600<br /> Washington, D.C. 20004<br /> Copyright (C) 2009 DS News All rights reserved.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Forward this email to a friend<br /> Update your profile&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;QUICK LINKS<br /> DSNews.com<br /> DS News' Red Book<br /> DS News' Black Book<br /> 2009 Five Star Conference<br /> DARE</div> <div>- Tiffany Young</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;Helping one homeowner at a time...</div> </div> </div>Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:37:50 GMThttp://tiffanyyoungteam.com/870480/2010/01/25/DS-NEWS-REAL-ESTATE-UPDATE.aspxDo you qualify for a credit card bailout?http://tiffanyyoungteam.com/837942/2009/12/29/Do-you-qualify-for-a-credit-card-bailout.aspx<div id="AppleMailSignature"> <div> <div>&nbsp; <div style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-bottom: 10px;">Do you qualify for a credit card bailout?</div> <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <div style="padding: 5px; float: right;"><img border="1" alt="" style="border-color: black; margin-bottom: 5px;" src="http://aranet.vo.llnwd.net/o28/resources/240x180/2443_ecd23c83-8fb4-419c-a2d7-5d5a78e0f1d6.jpg" /></div> <p>(ARA) - At a time in America when banks and other companies are receiving government bailouts, millions of consumers who are struggling with credit card debt are wondering where their rescue plan is. <br /> <br /> How can the everyday consumer get bailed out of credit card debt they just can't afford to pay? More families are stressing out over credit cards and other debts and want to know their debt relief options. <br /> <br /> <b>A way to erase credit card debts fast</b><br /> <br /> While the government is not offering a credit card debt bailout program for consumers, credit card companies are. When you get in over your head in credit card debt, credit card companies would rather collect a portion of what is owed than have you declare bankruptcy. That's why credit card firms are willing to provide a <a id="adfusionlink2" href="http://www.adfusion.com/adfusion.partnersite/LinkRedirect.aspx?UserFeedGuid=2299c748-7ce1-4826-bf28-bccf4848b51a&amp;ArticleId=2443&amp;ComboId=7519&amp;LinkId=2&amp;salt=HdiKuOn" onclick="if(document.images){(new Image()).src='http://ace-tag.advertising.com/action/type=359401880/bins=1/rich=0/mnum=1516/site=695501/logs=0/betr=arasm_cs=2'}">credit card debt bailout</a> &nbsp;for consumers.<br /> <br /> <b>Debt relief: Find out how much you can save</b><br /> <br /> For consumers in need of relief from credit cards and other debts, The Debt Relief Center provides a fast and convenient way to get your debt relief options. With a Free Debt Relief Analysis, at no obligation, consumers are able to get a free debt relief savings estimate. In many cases, credit card companies are willing to forgive up to 60 percent or more of credit card debts, depending on your situation.<br /> <br /> After decades of aggressively charging exorbitant interest rates, late fees and penalties, credit card companies are now finding an avalanche of consumer debt coming to rest on their doorstep. Ironically, it's credit card companies who are finally giving consumers a break of sorts. <br /> <br /> Again, the principle at work is that credit card companies would rather collect what they can from consumers, rather than get 10 cents on the dollar from collection agencies or nothing at all if consumers declare bankruptcy. This is why credit card debt relief programs are becoming more popular. Tough times are hitting people all over America and families need relief. Fortunately, in this environment, credit card debt relief is now available.<br /> <br /> Find out if you qualify for credit card debt relief.

HAFA alternatives are available to all HAMP-eligible borrowers who: 1) do not qualify for a Trial Period Plan; 2) do not successfully complete a Trial Period Plan; 3) miss at least two consecutive payment during a HAMP modification; or, 4) request a short sale or deed-in-lieu.</p> <p>In a short sale, the servicer allows the borrower to list and sell the mortgaged property with the understanding that the net proceeds from the sale may be less than the total amount due on the first mortgage. Generally, if the borrower makes a good faith effort to sell the property but is not successful, a servicer may consider a DIL. With a DIL, the borrower voluntarily transfers ownership of the property to the servicer - provided title is free and clear of mortgages, liens and encumbrances. With either the HAFA short sale or DIL, the servicer may not require a cash contribution or promissory note from the borrower and must forfeit the ability to pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower.</p> <p>HAFA simplifies and streamlines the short sale and DIL process by providing a standard process flow, minimum performance timeframes and standard documentation.</p> <p>The guidelines for HAFA are detailed further in the document(s) listed below.</p> <fieldset> <legend>Servicer Documents</legend> <!--p class="programTitle">Servicer Participation Agreement<br /> Foreclosure Alternatives Program Addendum </p> <p> Template of the agreement servicers need to sign to participate in the Foreclosure Alternatives Program.
