  1. Understanding The Good Faith Estimate, HUD-1 and Short Sales Presented by: First Place Bank and NorthStar Title Services

  2. Definitions of Terms • HUD • Standard form used to itemize services and fees charged to the borrower by the lender or broker • TIL • A document provided by the Lender that is required by The Truth-in-Lending Act and is aimed at promoting the informed use of consumer credit by requiring disclosures about terms and costs

  3. Terms (cont.) • Short Sale • A sale of real estate in which the proceeds from the sale fall short of the balance owed on a loan secured by the property sold • FHA • FHA provides mortgage insurance on single-family, multifamily, manufactured homes and hospital loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the United States and its territories. While borrowers must meet certain requirements established by FHA to qualify for the insurance, lenders bear less risk because FHA will pay the lender if a homeowner defaults on his or her loan.

  4. Terms (cont.) • Promissory Note • Written legal instrument signed by the borrower for the benefit of the mortgage lender • Mortgage • Conveyance of an interest in real property using a written instrument usually known as a mortgage deed that acts as security for the payment of a debt • The Note created the debt and the Mortgage secures payment of the debt

  5. Terms (cont.) • Default • Nonpayment of the loan or failure to comply with circumstances thereby invoking the default clause in a mortgage • REO • Real Estate Owned – Foreclosed or pre-foreclosed properties taken back by a lender

  6. Terms (cont.) • Loss Mitigation Department • A third party that works to negotiate mortgage terms for the homeowner that will prevent foreclosure • Hardship • Banks have guidelines as to what they consider a hardship and it varies from Bank to Bank – such as death, divorce, illness etc.

  7. Terms (cont.) • Mortgagee • Lender that lends the money to an individual in order to purchase a piece of property • Mortgagor • Person pledging the real property because of the money he or she has borrowed to purchase the real property

  8. Process of a Short Sale • Two scenarios as a realtor… • Reaction to finding out your seller is unable to make payments and if they are not in foreclosure yet they will be shortly • Full awareness of the fact that you represent a seller who is trying to get rid of the property and the debt associated with it

  9. Short Sale • Seller is upside down and needs to get out from under and is looking to sell • Foreclosure • Foreclosure and Bankruptcy • Third party has approached seller and has a buyer interested • Broker may be involved and helping the new buyer

  10. What does the Lender need? • Loss Mitigation Department • Third party (attorney) involved

  11. What the title company CAN and CANNOT do • Request a payoff from the creditors; • Not allowed to negotiate but is allowed to inquire as long as they have the seller’s consent in writing and it must be sent to the creditors; • Sometimes it is a fine line between request and negotiate – must not cross

  12. January 1, 2010 • New GFE • New HUD-1 • New HUD-1A (for all transactions in which the new GFE is used)
