Eduardo Fernandez Short Seller Credit Consequences?
10 July 2008 | 5 replies
Because short sales are currently net 80-82% of Fair Market Value to Fannie--which is more than Fannie gets from an REO sale, not to mention that by the time the property goes to foreclosure, it's worth far less in most areas of the country and has sometimes been vandalized. http://www.rebuild.org/news-article/foreclosure-and-stripping-homes/ To ensure that the former homeowner is ready to purchase again in two years, s/he should pay all their other debts on time and use no more than 50% credit capacity on credit cards.According to the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act of 2007, the amount of mortgage deficiency (known as "phantom income") will be forgiven if the house is owner occupied.

Kathy Potter Where to find direct mail or email lists
14 August 2008 | 16 replies
i have seen nothing but wasted money from email lists. firstly, ESPs are becoming very stringent about spam, making the inbox a near impossible place to reach.secondly, email harvesters tend to use spammy practices that make your list of x,000 become more like x0 of actual valid email addressesthirdly, people on these lists by permission are rarely interested in the offer, and more about the incentives offered. and the ones that are on without their knowledge rarely respond to offers and are more likely to report you as SPAM and never use your services.if you are offering a valuable service, another approach would be to speak with landlord associations and try to arrange to be a speaker at one of their networking events, or to have your contact send your email to their members.
