  • The Housing Bust is OVER?

    I received this great article from http://www.dailywealth.com/ that I wanted to share and comment on just how wrong many people are enjoy and comment if you like?

     "The bursting of the global housing bubble is only halfway through," TheEconomist magazine wrote recently.

     
    I disagree...
     
    Here in the U.S. at least, the housing bubble is completely over.
     
    It drives me nuts when I hear commentators say, "We're halfway through," and, "We have more pain to come."
     
    Here's the FACT: Right now, houses in America are the best value they've been in many generations. It's not hard to understand...
     
    The Economist showed a chart of home prices relative to incomes in that article. Instead of showing that home prices are expensive, the chart shows that U.S. houses are the best deal in history (going back four decades), relative to U.S. incomes.
     
    Now, how can The Economist have an article about the continuing global housing bust... and then show a chart showing U.S. homes are the cheapest in four decades?
     
    To attempt to explain this, The Economist says, "Prices [in America] may have reached a floor, but this is no guarantee of an imminent bounce." Yes, that's correct. We can't know the future. We can't know if another 5% dip is in the cards. But c'mon...
     
    We CAN know that extraordinary value exists right now in U.S. housing. You have the chance to buy fantastic properties at possibly once-in-a-lifetime prices.
     
    So what if there's "no guarantee of an imminent bounce"? When do you get a guarantee like that in investing anyway?
     
    Another gripe I have is that the housing price-to-income ratio – The Economist's measure of value – is actually understating the opportunity. People don't buy homes based on the price of the house relative to their income. People buy homes based on the mortgage payment of that house, relative to their incomes.
     
    And right now, mortgage rates are off-the-charts low...
     
    In 1980, mortgage rates were 15%. In 1990, they were 10%. In 2000, they were 8%. Today, they are BELOW 4%. It is the greatest deal in U.S. history.
     
    Anyone who's ever bought a house knows that a 15% interest rate in 1980 is dramatically different than today's rates below 4%. Any measure of housing affordability over time that doesn't consider the mortgage payment is simply not that useful.
     
    Housing prices are the best value in history, according to The Economist's own chart... And if you include mortgage payments in your calculation instead of house prices, U.S. houses are actually a dramatically better deal.
     
    In short, now is the time to buy a house in America.
     
    Look, I get it... Times are tough. Most people either can't or won't take my advice to buy a house. But it is the right advice...
     
    I am trying to follow it myself... My right-hand man Brett Eversole has been forced to step away from his computers over and over again to go look at local properties with me.
     
    And Porter Stansberry (the founder of Stansberry & Associates and the publisher of DailyWealth) is doing the same thing I am... investing in beaten-down real estate.
     
    The reasons to buy now are incredibly simple:
    • U.S. home prices are more affordable than ever – by far. (Here in my home state of Florida, prices in many cases are down by half.) 
    • Mortgage rates are down to record-low levels, below 4%.
    • You can often pay below-market prices (as banks try to unload properties, for example).
    Of course, as The Economist says, there is "no guarantee of an imminent bounce."
     
    But with prices this low and with very few other great places to put your money in our zero-percent world... if you can swing it, you need to consider buying a house.
     
    If you can buy right, and hang on for a couple years, it could be the lowest-risk, highest-reward investment you ever make...
     
    In America, the bursting of the housing bubble isn't halfway over. It's COMPLETELY over.
     
    Stop procrastinating. If you can do it, get on it, now.
     
    Good investing,
     
    Steve

  • My Ex Is Short Selling. What Can I Do?

    Celebration FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Tom about short sales. Here was Tom’s Question.

    “My Ex-wife decided to Short Sell our former house. Unfortunately we both signed the mortgage when we bought the house together. I think that means I am still liable for the debt.

    She got the home after the divorce. The court gave her the home in the divorce. The market has declined and the house is worth about 120k less than the mortgage amount.

    I have a good job and some assets. Will I have to pay back the bank ofr the money they lose. (My ex is selling because of financial problems.)

    Also, someone said I might have to pay income taxes on the written off debt. Is that true? Please help me out here. Sincerely, Tom.”

    Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.

    Here was our answer. Tom, you probably should talk to a good lawyer. This is not the standard short sale. There might be tax laws that will allow you to not be liable for the tax liability on the written off debt.

    In my opinion, the Tax Law allows you to write off most of the forgiven debt on a short sale. You have to short sell the house before the end of 2012 and have lived there for 2 of the last 5 years.

    Your ex probably meets that criterion. I would think that since she lives in the house, then you wouldn’t be liable for the taxes. But, then again, I am not an accountant and don’t know how the law would affect such a unique situation.

    Will you have a deficiency judgment? We can’t know for sure because there are so many variables involved. However, in about 80% to 90% of the time, you won’t have a deficiency.

    That is because most lenders just forgive the debt. They have found it tough to collect the upside down debt. Most people are short selling because of financial problems.

    They are struggling to avoid bankruptcy without a large deficiency judgment. When they see a $100,000 deficiency, then they will probably just declare bankruptcy. Then the lenders gets nothing anyways.

    Check with a competent short sale realtor in your area. They will be able to give you a good idea of whether or not you will have to pay the deficiency.

    Important Notice

    Cliff Clover, Watson Realty Corp , and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

    Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

    However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

    We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

    This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

    You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

    The views expressed here are Clover’s personal views and do not reflect the views of Watson Realty Corp .

    This information on Celebration Short Sales: My Ex Is Short Selling. What Can I Do? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.
