Probelms with deficiency judgments in florida foreclosures

There are many problems with recourse and non-recourse mortgage loans. The bigger problem has to do with recourse loans when the lender is seeking a deficiency judgment in a florida foreclosure. Much is said about these deficiency judgments - whether you call it a deficiecny judgment, summary judgment, default judgement, or even if you mispell it as a deficiecny judgement - the consensus is that deficiecnyc judgments in florida are bad news.

Look at these artcles discussing florida deficiency judgments and post a comment to let me know that we are looking at the florida foreclosures the same was as the courts may or may not interepret these judgments. I will check back to see the comments that you have made and then we can discuss the deficiency judgments in more detail after examining the collectibility of a judgment in a foreclosure action in florida specifically.

Try not to obtain an FHA mortgage in Florida when you have a judgment to be concerned about. The liklihood of obtaining a mortgage loan with a deficiecny are slim to none and -you guessed it - Slim just left town. Thanks for reading and please post a comment to let me know your thoughts about deficiency judgments.

Short Sale Exit With FNMA Flip

There was a real estate investor or maybe it was a realtor in Florida talking about FNMA Flip and the policy that FNMA had with Flips in Florida. The FNMA MyCommunity Mortgage loan was the subject of the short sale. The short sale was purchased with a FNMA loan. The FNMA oan was flipped in a FNMA flip transaction.

There have been FNMA flips for a long time in Florida. This is nothing new. What is new is that now we know the FNMA flipping rules for short sale investing. This is how FNMA short sale underwriters views this type of transaction and I just thought it was helpful.

Examining FNMA Flips with short salleing of real estate. That is the Federal National Mortgage Association for those of you who don't know.

Define Option Contract & Florida Real Estate

Let’s take a look at the word Option. The definition of “Option” is provided by Investorwords.com:

“The right, but not the obligation, to buy (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) a specific amount of a given stock, commodity, currency, index, or debt, at a specified price (the strike price) during a specified period of time. For stock options, the amount is usually 100 shares. Each option has a buyer, called the holder, and a seller, known as the writer. If the option contract is exercised, the writer is responsible for fulfilling the terms of the contract by delivering the shares to the appropriate party. In the case of a security that cannot be delivered such as an index, the contract is settled in cash. For the holder, the potential loss is limited to the price paid to acquire the option. When an option is not exercised, it expires. No shares change hands and the money spent to purchase the option is lost. For the buyer, the upside is unlimited. Options, like stocks, are therefore said to have an asymmetrical payoff pattern. For the writer, the potential loss is unlimited unless the contract is covered, meaning that the writer already owns the security underlying the option. Options are most frequently as either leverage or protection. As leverage, options allow the holder to control equity in a limited capacity for a fraction of what the shares would cost. The difference can be invested elsewhere until the option is exercised. As protection, options can guard against price fluctuations in the near term because they provide the right acquire the underlying stock at a fixed price for a limited time. risk is limited to the option premium (except when writing options for a security that is not already owned). However, the costs of trading options (including both commissions and the bid/ask spread) is higher on a percentage basis than trading the underlying stock. In addition, options are very complex and require a great deal of observation and maintenance. also called option contract.”

Now let’s take a look at the word Contract. The definition of “contract” as provided by Investorwords.com is:

“A binding agreement between two or more parties for performing, or refraining from performing, some specified act(s) in exchange for lawful consideration.”
When we put them to gether, we have the option contract. You may use the option contract to purchase a short sale in the State of Florida. Much has been written about Florida real esate and the short sales that can be bought and sold with the option contract.
