The Five Star Default Servicing Conference and Expo officially kicks off September 20th, 2009 and runs through September 23rd. The event is being held at the Fort Worth Convention Center and Omni Hotel in Texas. Steve Forbes is the featured speaker at this huge event for the default servicing industry. The Five Star attendees have many opportunities to network with others in the industry and to sharpen their skills with the Five Star Academics and the Five Star Institute classes.
Many in the default servicing industry are preparing for the next wave or waves of foreclosures to hit the market. In many areas of the country like here in San Diego this will be a welcoming event. That’s right, welcoming. In many price ranges and in many areas of San Diego County California the inventory has had buyers looking at some pretty slim pickings. Many of the first time homebuyers trying to take advantage of the 8,000 first time home buyer tax credit are left in backup offer position to the cash offers. These first time home buyers also come in second place to offers with conventional loans with lots of buyer money in the deal. Some of the reasons for this are that the asset managers and banks like to accept the cash offers and large downs because they have less of a chance of falling out of escrow due to loans falling apart and appraisals not coming in at loan value. A symptom of the market.
Foreclosure moratoriums are being lifted in some areas of the country. California for instance has the California Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Act that was signed by the Governor on February 20, 2009. The California Foreclosure Prevention Act modifies the foreclosure process to provide additional time for borrowers to work out loan modifications while providing an exemption for mortgage loan servicers that have implemented a comprehensive loan modification program. Civil Code Section 2923.52 requires an additional 90 day period beyond the period already provided before a Notice of Sale can be given in order to allow all parties to pursue a loan modification to prevent foreclosure of loans meeting certain criteria identified in that section. A mortgage loan servicer who has implemented a comprehensive loan modification program may file an application for exemption from the provisions of Civil Code Section 2923.52. Approval of this application provides the mortgage loan servicer an exemption from the additional 90-day period before filing the Notice of Sale when foreclosing on real property as designated by this Section. More on the Act.
This next wave of foreclosures as it’s called by many in the default servicing industry has been described by some in the know as a Tidal Wave or Tsunami. Many are wondering what effect it will have on the fragile real estate markets throughout the United States. I welcome the wave and the faster we get through this stagnant inventory the better off the whole real estate and economic environment will be. This elephant in the room, the massive foreclosures that are not being put on the market has to be dealt with. Let’s push through and push on and get through this and on to the next real estate market. I’ll take and sell as many assets as I can to help with the situation. So any asset managers or banks that need an REO Listing Agent in San Diego County California call me – Dawn Lewis 619-981-3917. I joined REOMasters Network to not only be associated with some of the best REO Agents and Brokers in the industry but to network with them to offer the best of solutions for asset managers and banks .

What is the Foreclosure Angel Foundation – Excerpt from clubtsunami.net
We’re Fighting a Real Problem …That Needs Our Attention
The Foreclosure Angel Foundation was born when Marilyn Mock saw a need in November of 2008 to help her neighbor who was about to lose her home. With nowhere else to turn but the streets, their home went up on the auction block.
Marilyn bought the home at the auction price and sold it right back to the owners at the now lower cost. Marilyn had a keen sense that “It could be me in that situation.” One major life change could rip her family from their home too.
Ever the optimist, Marilyn thought that others in her community who saw this need would surely step up and help. She took desperate letters from families losing their homes to a function where her friends and acquaintances had expendable income. Marilyn was shocked when they didn’t even want to see the letter, much less offer any help.
At that point, Marilyn once again had another layer of her rose colored glasses ripped away, but this time she became determined. She believed that the American spirit of neighbors helping neighbors would win out.
If you’re going to the Five Star Fort Worth 2009 make sure you make this event. This will be the one everyone remembers and asks, “Were you there!”.
Ashlon Langley Writer and Director of The Car a 1970’s film starring James Brolin was interviewed on Shameful Cinema. I write many Blog posts about San Diego and San Diego Real Estate and after reading the Ashlon interview about this 1970 movie I thought I would deviate and write about something out of the ordinary. I like the 1970’s low budget movies without all of the special effects and outspoken actors of today’s Hollywood. Ashlon responding to a question from the interviewer Andy about the car design he said;
Ashlon: The under-cranking was reminiscent of the Adams Family and The Munsters television series, making that quality silly to me. However, the design is choice! I love that one of the confusing points for the cops in the movie is that they can’t tell what make or model the beast is. And… it has no tags! If only they could get a license plate, the bungling cops could stop all the mayhem, yeah right!
I wrote about this movie and this interview because things are also reminiscent of the 1970’s even though it’s 2009. We are now like in the early 70’s in a recession and inflation is due to rise. America has taken a hit in the pride department due to the media’s constant attack on the good things America stands for and good things the United States does for so many around the world. The 70’s brought about the 80’s and the economy started gaining ground again and Americans had a lot of good things to feel good about. Watch The Car if you can and read the Ashlon interview. It’s truly entertaining.
