Phoenix - Short Sales and Foreclosures are Coming to Visit

Without delving too deeply into the reasons for this current predicament, it is a sad fact of life that many Arizona homeowners are running into serious difficulties in meeting their mortgage obligations. As with most areas of life, in order to combat a problem, it is necessary to first admit that the problem exists. If that sounds crazy, you will be surprised how many realtors get the call My home is being foreclosed on next week especially since that procedure comes at the end of a 90 day period. Too many homeowners ignore all phone calls and correspondence from the bank until it is too late. They cover their ears and go La, la ,la! However, there are avenues to explore before we get to that point.

If you know you are unable to make this months payment and may have more difficulty in the future, contact your lender immediately. Be aware, the bank does not want to talk to a realtor at this stage; this is a call you must make yourself. Also, make sure you talk to the right department. Just calling the 1-800 will not suffice. It may take some digging, but you must speak to the loss mitigation or work-out department. The, probably, outsourced employee at the end of the 1-800 does not have any authority to help you, that employee just wants you to make your payment. Some lenders may be willing to modify the existing note, extend the loan period, or give you a six-month break and add those costs to the loan. This is if your financial difficulty is temporary in nature.

If your monetary problems are an ongoing situation with no end in sight you may try to negotiate a short pay with the bank. This is when the bank may agree to accept less than what is owed in order to release the lien from the home and enable you to sell. Most likely, they will try to work with you because the last thing any bank wants is to take the property back. Bear in mind, also, that your setback must be real; if you own other homes or assets you cannot, and should not, expect them to forgive you debt while you still have worth. You will most certainly have to reverse qualify to obtain a short pay. In the same way you had to qualify to get the loan in the first place, you will be required to furnish proof you can no longer afford said loan. This is where some people run in to trouble. If you fudged your initial loan application, if you stated income you did not earn, if you said you were going to owner-occupy and you did not; this is when the chickens will come home to roost. Some of these conditions I just mentioned are felonies, so think very carefully a) whenever you apply for a loan b) whenever you try to seek relief. Indeed, with the recent spate of no-doc, stated income loans, which many would argue have fueled this current crisis, you may find the reverse qualification more stringent than the original application.

Remember, a foreclosure or a short pay is going to affect your credit history for a long time to come. Also, remember that in a short pay you will receive an IRS 1099 form from the lender for the short fall, just as if you earned that money. Income tax, therefore, will be due on said amount.

To summarize, if your financial difficulty is short term, most lenders will be very willing to work with you to resolve it. If your difficulties are permanent, it is probably time to consult with a realtor. You will need them to find a qualified buyer at a fair price, and then you will need their expertise to persuade the bank that this is the fair and equitable solution for all parties involved. In either case, the earlier you acknowledge the problem, the better the resolution.

Finally, make sure the realtor you choose has the knowledge and experience to see it through, your financial future is dependent upon it.

The Law Of Attraction

A man lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes so he read no newspaper, nor did he watch TV. But, he sold great hot dogs. He put a sign up on the highway telling how great they were. He stood by the side of the road and cried, Hey, You, want to buy a great hot dog? And people came and they bought. So, he increased his meat and bun order. He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade. Then one day his son came home from college to help him. His son said, Dad, havent you heard the news about the recession? The economy is really bad. The unemployment situation is terrible. The energy situation is worse.

Whereupon the hot dog man thought, Well my sons been to college. He reads the newspapers and listens to the radio, he ought to know. So the father cut down on his meat and bun order. He took down his advertising signs. He no longer bothered to stand by the side of the road and yelled, Wanna buy my hot dogs? And his hot dog sales fell almost over night. Youre right son. The hot dog man said to his boy. We certainly are in the middle of a bad recession!

This parable is an illustration of these words of Dr. Ernest Holmes in Chapter 18 of the Science of Mind:

As Gods thought makes worlds, and peoples them with living things, so our thought makes our world and peoples it with our experiences. By the activity of our thought, things come into our life and we are limited only because we have not known the Truth. We have thought that outside things controlled us, when all the time we have had that within which could have changed everything and given us freedom from bondage.

What is that within us that can give us freedom? The creative Power of God operating through The Law of Attraction, which we bring into Action by our thoughts.

This idea is not new. It has been espoused throughout the ages.

The Buddha told us:
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
In Proverbs 23:7, we read:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Jesus said:
It is done unto you, as you believe. And - As ye sow so shall ye reap.
Aristotle wrote:
What we expect, we find.
The philosopher Virgil said:
They can because they think they can.
William Shakespeare wrote:
Our doubts are our traitors.
Contemporary writer Eknath Easwaran wrote:
We begin to resemble and actually become whatever we give our attention to.

Abraham-Hicks: When you think a little thought of something you are wanting, by Law of Attraction that thought grows larger and larger and more and more powerful. When you think a thought of something you are not wanting, that Law of Attraction adds unto it and it grows larger and larger also. So the larger it grows, the more power it draws unto it, then the more certain you are to receive the experience, you see.

The interesting thing about these Laws is that they are -- even if you do not understand that they are -- affecting your experience, even in your ignorance of them.

The law of attraction is definitely not a new concept - but statements of Truth -- Truth that can set us free -- or hold us in bondage depending on what we do with them!

There is no power in the universe but ourselves that can free us. Someone may help us on the road to realization, but we must bring ourselves to the place in mind where there is no misfortune, no calamity, no accident, no trouble, no confusion; where there is nothing but plenty, peace, power, Life and Truth.

At all times we are either drawing things to us or pushing them away. In the average individual, this process goes on without his or her knowing it, but ignorance of the law does not change its results.
