HR 3044 to place 18-month moratorium on HVCC
Call or email your congress person in support of HR 3044California Congressman Gary Miller has introduced H.R. 3044, which would place an 18-month moratorium on the recently imposed Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC). The HVCC was worked out through an agreement between Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the New York Attorney General’s Office (NYAG) in response to an investigation by the NYAG into Fannie and Freddie.
The purpose of the HVCC was to try and insulate the appraisal process from undue influences. The HVCC attempted to do this by placing tight controls and restrictions on the ordering of the appraiser, as well as purposes for communicating with the appraiser during the process. However, the implementation of the HVCC, which came about by neither regulation nor Congressional statute, has resulted in appraisals that cost more, take longer to perform, and are inaccurate. C.A.R. has heard from members throughout the state of similar difficulties with the HVCC and its negative impact on the California real estate transaction. C.A.R. is supporting H.R. 3044, and is asking California’s Congressional Delegation to sign onto the bill as a cosponsor.
Buying a foreclosure? You need a strategy
Buying a foreclosure property is neither easy nor a guaranteed bargain. Here’s a beginner’s guide on how to approach this complicated part of the market.You've seen the ads: Investors in expensive suits boasting about the easy money they've made snapping up foreclosure bargains. But truth be told, buying a foreclosure property is neither easy nor a guaranteed bargain.
Sure, with the number of foreclosures surging, it's possible to find a distressed home selling at a discount to those around it. But often there are pitfalls surrounding these abandoned homes that buyers should be aware of.
By the time you get them fixed up, in some cases you have paid more than retail (or market value)
To effectively shop for a foreclosure home, you need to understand the foreclosure process, the risks and the timing necessary to close the sale.
It also doesn’t hurt to have some help from a seasoned agent who has handled a lot of bank-owned sales as a buyer's representative. But be wary of anyone who claims to know too much about what lenders will accept and when,.
"This market is so crazy I would be cautious of anyone who says they know where the market is going.
The foreclosure process
Let’s start with a basic definition of foreclosure, how it works and how long it takes.The foreclosure process is a means by which a bank can recover the amount owed on a defaulted loan, by repossessing the property that secured the loan.
The average foreclosure starts when a homeowner misses a mortgage payment and the lender files a notice of default. This is a public record and can be a first step for buyers in finding distressed properties, says Alexis McGee, co-founder of
Foreclosures.com and author of "The Foreclosures.com Guide to Advanced Investing Techniques You Won't Learn Anywhere Else
If the property owner doesn’t pay the owed amount in 60 to 90 days (or whatever timeline is dictated by the state you live in), a public auction notice is generally recorded that sets a sale date for the home.
If the property doesn’t sell at auction, the lender takes ownership of the property with the intent to sell it and recover its money. These bank-owned homes are often referred to as REO properties, a term that stands for “real-estate-owned.”
However, the foreclosure process differs widely from state to state. States with so-called judicial foreclosure laws require banks to go to court or file a lawsuit to repossess a home. This initial filing is called a “lis pendens,” meaning “suit is pending.”
Nonjudicial states do not require this. The deed of trust signed by buyers typically includes a power-of-sale clause, authorizing a trustee to sell the real estate to pay off the debt if it’s in default. The notice of default kicks off this process.
It’s important to be familiar with what the laws are in your state before embarking on your search, as they can affect the amount of risk you must shoulder and the timing for buying a foreclosed property.
A foreclosure in a judicial state such as New York can take more than12 months, while one in Texas can take as little as 60 days.
Now that you know the process, let’s move on to your options in buying distressed properties, and the risks and rewards of each.
3 ways to buy a foreclosure
1. Short sales
When the value of a home has gone below the balance of the mortgage or mortgages on it, owners will often try to get the bank to agree to a short sale.Under this arrangement, if you make a fair-market offer on a home that is less than the amount owed, a bank can agree to accept this offer and forgive the remaining debt on the property, staving off a foreclosure for the owner.
It can be a good deal if it works, experts say. But getting the bank to agree can be a lengthy and aggravating process both for the seller and the buyer.
“What you are going to find is many potential buyers go into a short sale, then the bank won’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ This can go on for six months where they won’t give you an answer.
There’s a lot more paperwork for the owner to prove his insolvency, and if there is a second mortgage on the property, you have to persuade that lender to remove or reduce its lien, something that may or may not happen. Short sales do not wipe out these junior liens.
It’s best for: buyers who are in no hurry to move, or investors who are having a hard time finding deals in their community.
2. Foreclosure Auctions
Another way of purchasing foreclosures is to buy them at auction on the courthouse steps. Plenty of investors do this, often because it’s a way to buy an attractive property with multiple liens.But for most people, this option is fraught with risks, experts say. For one thing, you don’t get to see the interior of the house before you buy, you don’t get to conduct your own inspection, and often you have to evict the former owner.
There can be horrendous things wrong with the property. You better know what you’re doing or know that the price is so good, that even if it’s a disaster inside it will still be worth it.
You also have to be ready with a check that day for the full amount you plan to bid.
Moreover, you must do your own title search — there are no title insurance policies here — or else liens on the property could prevent you from getting clear title when you are trying to sell. And many states offer a right of redemption for the previous owner — a time period in which he can get his property back if he pays the lender the outstanding loan amount, plus interest and the lender’s costs in foreclosure.
You’d hate to buy a property at auction, pour money into it to fix it up and then have the owner reclaim the property and these improvements. It’s rare, but investors typically try to head this off in right-of-redemption states by purchasing the “redemption rights” from the previous owner for a few hundred or a few thousand bucks before or after the auction.
It’s worth noting that online auctions are emerging in the foreclosure space. If you investigate this option, be careful that the auction house you’re dealing with is selling the property and not a lien on the property, experts caution.
It’s best for: seasoned investors only. There is too much risk involved for people who don’t make their living in real estate. And frankly, investors say, often the minimum bid is no great bargain.
3. Bank REO
These are the properties that went to auction but were not bid on, and so they reverted to the lender holding the mortgage.In a hot market, these properties will sell for full market value, which in many cases is above the listed price.
If you are willing to buy into a neighborhood with some blight — a lot of foreclosures — that’s where you will see some heavy discounts
However, it’s more common to find REO properties running 10% to 20% lower than market value. That may not sound like much of a discount, but on a $450,000 house, a $45,000 discount can mean the difference between qualifying for a loan or not.
The good news, experts say, is that REO homes are lot less risky to buy than properties bought through a short sale or auction. For one thing, all of the junior liens have been wiped out. And, unlike an auction property, you can tour and inspect the home just like any other home on the Multiple Listing Service.
But, investors say, they are not without their own set of complications, including damage from an unhappy former owner. Some agents recall irate borrowers pouring cement down the toilet to mess up the plumbing, or intentionally flooding the house to inflict water damage and mold.
If a property has been sitting empty for a while, there’s a chance it might have missing appliances, dead landscaping or damage from squatters. So it might be a good idea to bring a contractor along to find out what kinds of repairs are needed and what they will cost before you make a bid. For every dollar you spend on repairs you should knock $2 off the price of the home. You shouldn’t do the work for free, Investors caution that while you want to look for a fixer, you don't want to choose a place that needs to be gutted, because you will have a hard time getting financing for it.
Conduct a little research with the home’s last listing agent, if you can. Some Bank REOs have wound up in foreclosure multiple times, because there’s something wrong with the property or its location.
Sometimes there’s a reason the thing went into foreclosure, Just because it’s a foreclosure doesn’t make it a good buy.
It’s best for: anyone who is interested in buying a property below market value and who is willing to do a little research.
The key pieces of advice for successful foreclosure buying, experts say, are to be educated, be thorough and be unemotional about the houses you bid on.
There’s a lot of competition for some of the better bank-owned properties, our office fields dozens of offers a day on some properties.
The good ones get multiple offers. I’ve had people who’ve made a dozen offers before getting one of them,.
Be prepared to look at a lot of foreclosures and get a feel for the market before hopping in there.
Renovated homes that have been improved on by the owners are selling better than empty homes due to the deplorable condition of the majority of REO properties. Improvements used to be a way of jacking up the price which might be good for the seller but disadvantageous for the buyer who had to pay for all improvements done in the final price. With house prices that are so low, improvements have become the selling point belittling the value of the property itself. Nice and shiny kitchens and baths have long lured people into getting the value they want from homes and having them in a house they intend to buy lessens the strain of having to get it done before they move in. Be sure all work is well documented with amendments to the original plans in place so you don’t end up dealing with nuances later More Real Estate headlines

Bank Reo's in Stockton. A Bank Repo or REO is real estate owned by the bank, and many investors consider an REO property to be money just waiting to happen. An REO is different from a foreclosure property in that the bank has already tried to sell it at a foreclosure auction and has had no luck getting bids. Because the property was not bid on, the bank then became the owner of the property. Naturally, the bank does not want to keep the REO any longer than possible, and this makes it a great opportunity for an investor. Clean REO's priced at the market in good areas are receiving multiple offers over the asking price in just a few days.

5 Top Tips for Home Sellers
Title & Escrow: Title insurance is more than a product, it is a process. When a homebuyer and a home seller come to terms, the process opens with the preparation of a contract and closes with the issuance of a title policy. Title insurance is one of the key elements in this process. A prefatory step is the creation of the contract between the parties. This contract, called closing or escrow instructions in most areas, is usually prepared by a Escrow/Title company. It binds the parties and sets in motion the steps leading to the closing.
Financing Real Estate
-
Get Pre Approved: Getting pre-qualified helps you determine how much home you can afford, based on specific financial information you share with your lender. The lender does not verify this information, and consequently there is no guarantee you will qualify for the loan amount. Getting pre-approved requires that the lender verify your financial information, and does serve as a commitment to lend a specified amount based on that verified information. This gives you significant buying power with a seller who recognizes you will be approved for a loan

Stockton Facts: Stockton is situated along the San Joaquin Delta waterway which connects to the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Stockton is located 60 miles east of the San Francisco Bay Area, 83 miles east of San Francisco, and 45 miles south of Sacramento, the capital of California. Stockton offers an excellent quality of life for its residents. The City has a number of beautiful residential communities, with single-family homes costing about one-third the price of homes in the Bay Area. Stockton was designated an All-America City by the National Civic League.
Stockton's Weston Ranch neighborhood, a 15-year-old subdivision of modest tract homes, has the worst foreclosure rate in the area according to ACORN, a national advocacy group for low and moderate-income families.
On September 19, 2007, CNN reported that Stockton led the nation in the 100 largest metro areas that are forecast to witness a decline in the median existing single-family house price.
Keep in mind that with all the foreclosures and the low prices, sales are running at an all time high with multiple offers being presented on the majority of REO listings with out-of-town investors grabbing up the bargain real estate properties
Tracy - Tracy California is a growing community that is centrally located in the San Joaquin Valley. It was founded in 1878 as a small railroad town, but over the last decade, affordable housing and family atmosphere has raised a new interest in the Area. Tracy is just 60 miles east of San Francisco, 60 miles south of Sacramento. Although it remains a prosperous agricultural center, its location and accessibility attracts new business and employment opportunities each year.
Woodbridge - Woodbridge, California was known as Mokelumne Station and established in 1869. How Woodbridge got its name is a mystery. It has been said it was named after a popular racehorse.
The San Joaquin Delta is an expansive inland river delta in northern California in the United States. It is formed at the western edge of the Central Valley by the Sacramento River at its confluence with the San Joaquin River just east of where the river enters Suisun Bay (an upper arm of San Francisco Bay).
