Listen in as I uncover the negatives and positives of this mortgage fraud fiasco, and also uncover whether or not Bank of America short sales are a waste of time (especially if they are government insured), the best way to find out if your homeowners mortgage is recourse or non-recourse.

One day the government comes up with a new program that states our sellers are not liable for the tax portion of the forgiven debt only to find out that again they wasted the Tax Payer’s money (our money) because only a tiny pool of homeowners actually qualify! Listen in as I go over how long after a short sale transaction that a lender can go after our clients (the homeowner(s)), what to do when you are negotiated a short sale only to find out the lender requires the property be listed by a licensed real estate agent, the best place to find money today to finance our deals, and much more.
