What is a Las Vegas Short Sale?
Simply put a “Short Sale” is when you owe $300,000.00 on your home but the current market value on your home is $250,000.00. The “Short” is $50,000.00. In the past, The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Act forgave that short amount from any tax liability. The $50,000.00 which is considered a capitol gain is considered income by the IRS. This law expired in 2017 so if you were to short sale today, you would have a tax liability. Talk to your CPA for more information.
What is the process for short sales Las Vegas and how does this help me?
The short sale process can be either long and dragged out or short and sweet! It all depends on your bank or loan servicer and how fast they can assist us in the process. The process starts by determining your current home’s value and all costs associated with the short sale. Second, you and I work together in getting a short sale packet created and sent off to your servicer or bank. This “packet” consists of tax records, pay stubs, financial asset forms, listing debts, savings, investments etc. It also talks about your financial hardship and why you need to complete a short sale.
I help you with all of this from A to Z. It’s my job to also help you find a buyer for your home. The goal of doing a short sale is to make sure the debt is paid off and that you will not have to deal with this situation in the future. I always get a “Full Release Letter” from your servicer or bank so that you are free and clear of this home and the debt from it. Make sure you hire someone that can get you results and they know what they are doing. This is about your future and getting a clean slate to start over!
Guidelines for Servicers and Lenders:
The new guidelines for servicers to issue some type of Forbearance program should also help people. The loan servicer or bank may ask you to repay what you did not pay. THIS IS NOT A FREE MORTGAGE OR FREE RENT SITUATION. This balance that is due could be a ballon payment which means you have 180 days of forgiveness but on day 181, you will have to pay back that balance you missed. Also, they might also add on the balance you owe to the loan balance you currently owe. This means if you owe $300,000.00 and if you missed $20,000.00 in payments, you now owe $320,000.00 plus interest and additional fees and charges which could make the loan go over $340,000.00.
Will I lose Equity in My Home?
This is also something that is a major concern for me if you have equity in your home now, you may lose that equity if pricing falls. Call me today to see if selling your home NOW makes sense before you miss payments.
Also, please keep in mind that if you can make your house payments, please do! If we start to see mass defaults on loans like we did in 2007-2013, that will bring down the value of your home as well as the rest of us here in Las Vegas. If the housing market falls in value, it hurts everyone. You can also check out my foreclosure page: https://lvrealty4sale.com/how-to-avoid-foreclosure-in-las-vegas/
