I get many requests through emails, phone calls contacts from my San Diego real estate web sites and blogs asking information on buying a home or showing requests on our listings and REO’s. I work very methodically and although I can be flexible experience has taught me that procedure needs to be followed for helping clients achieve their dreams. Before I start showing property and in many cases emailing properties I will always have my new home buyer pre-qualify with one of the lenders I work with. If the buyer already has a lender I will ask them for their lenders info so I can call them and talk with them. I want to know what loan amount they can get to see what price range to show then homes or condos in.

Knowing purchasing power and monthly payment comfort zone is very important before a buyer gets far down the road of buying a home they can’t afford or looking in a price range that is too low for what they can afford and want to buy. I equate it to knowing how much many is in your pocket before you go shopping. Unless you’re using credit or a check you would need to know how much cash is in your pocket before you went into the grocery store and started filling up your cart. Some people find that they have no money in their pocket and can’t buy right now while others realize that they can buy groceries for a month. Before you buy a home or even start seriously looking a buyer needs to know how much the bank will loan them and what the monthly payments will be.

Once the buyer speaks with a lender then the buyer knows their home purchasing power and their agent knows in what price range to start looking in. To me this is at the very beginning stage of buying a home. I’ve noticed many inexperienced Real Estate Agents not guide their home buyers in the right direction by having them contact a lender upfront. It’s sad when the agent shows property to the new homebuyers for months, find the perfect home and then realize that the home they want is priced at $500,000 and they can only get a loan up to $300,000. It turns into a waste of time for everyone involved and shows the client how inexperienced the agent is. If you’re buying a home in San Diego make sure you call us and we can have one of the great lenders we work with call you.

With thousands of foreclosures in San Diego and hundreds of thousands of foreclosures throughout the United States many renters are asking “What happens to us if the home we’re renting gets foreclosed on?” First of all a renter should always seek legal advice in this situation because laws are different depending on state and county laws. I have noticed that some banks and lending institutions will give renters relocation assistance in the form of money in a check to move out by a certain date usually less than 30 days.

Some renters I have spoken with have said that the landlord or owner of the home, condo or multi-unit property didn’t say anything to them about the property being foreclosed on. Renters are shocked to find out that the owners were collecting rent at the same time they weren’t making house payments. Property owners know well in advance that the bank is foreclosing on them and should ethically tell the renters what’s going on. Most of the time the renters will lose their deposits as well when the bank takes the property back and the owner disappears. If a renter is unsure about the home or condo they’re renting being a foreclosure or not they can contact a local Realtor – if in San Diego County contact us and we can tell you if a notice of default has been filed on the home or condo you’re renting.

Please be careful when renting another home or condo and find out before you move in if that property is a pre-foreclosure or foreclosure. CNN has a great video about this subject. Please view the CNN News video about renters and foreclosures below.

So now we’re bailing out the auto industry. Who’s next? Every business is affected in some way by the recession but do all of them get to be bailed out by American tax dollars? If so wouldn’t it be better to just help small businesses “businesses under 100 employees” than to help the giant companies that are run inefficiently with huge CEO bonuses. Of course the businesses have lobbyists and lots of them looking after their interests and lining politician’s pockets for their political careers but who’s looking out for us? And wouldn’t bailing out small businesses spread the wealth throughout the whole country instead of just concentrating on Detroit or just recently Manhattan. What is going on? Let these businesses fail. There are procedures for businesses to regroup its called bankruptcy.

Recently I saw the comparison on the news about how American Company Autoworkers are paid on average a little over $70 per hour while the Japanese Company Auto Workers working in the United States make just over $40 per hour. The American Company Auto Workers are unionized while the Japanese Company Auto Workers are not. The Japanese plants put out more cars and trucks per day then their Detroit counterparts. The quality of the automobiles is debatable so I won’t go there but the fuel economy of the Japanese Auto Makers is superior in most cases to the American Autos. If the American Automobile Companies business model is outdated and running in the red it needs to be changed by their high priced Harvard and Yale CEO’s not bailed out by you and me. Let them fail or every big business in the US will be lining up behind them.

I propose the solution of Loan Forgiveness. If all these huge corporations are getting bailed out then why not help out the taxpayers, the people, us? Now that we’re strapped with a trillion dollar debt and soon to be more to bailout every company with a hand out or political ties to the guy with the checkbook in D.C. Shouldn’t we be getting the money to help out us the homeowner the tax payer since we and our children are going to have to pay it back? Let the businesses fail but help the people – the people are the government not the corporations. If one of the main problems to our economy is the consumer and their lack of participation buying consumer goods then letting them loan modify at the new value of their home or walk away without any affect on their credit and no long term retribution from the debt collection companies that buy the bad debt from the banks is the option that should be considered.

I think the Federal Government should declare a SATE OF EMERGENCY just like they would in a natural disaster. And this economic disaster is far worse and more reaching with long term affects than a hurricane or tornado. I’ve seen my tax dollars go to hurricane relief and tornado relief and many other disasters all the time. Areas here in San Diego County and other areas of the country hit by the foreclosure tornado – hurricane - tsunami NEED HELP NOW! It’s time to help them – this is a STATE OF EMERGENCY!

Comparing Foreclosures and Short Sales is sort of like comparing Apples to Oranges. Foreclosures in San Diego will sell fast and get multiple offers if they are priced correctly and in a desirable price range. It seems that the magic number or price range for a single family detached home is anything under $400,000. Most of the time there are aggressive offers and many offers in this price range which will also drive the price up on the REO. Not only is the price important to the asset managers who will ultimately decide which offer to take but also things like, how much money “non loan amount” is in the deal, is it an all cash offer, what has the mortgage holders lender determined the purchasers credit looks like, and others. Foreclosures are in many cases not in as good condition as short sales are because the previous owner in some cases might have removed essential items like lighting, stoves, water heaters, outlets etc …. Where on a short sale most of the time the seller or renter is still in the home maintaining it and will not usually do any destruction while in their possession.

Short Sales have the length of time issues unpopular to agents, sellers and buyers. Short sale packages are submitted to the bank by the listing agent and offers are taken and submitted to the bank. The process of the bank looking at offers and accepting one or countering the offer can take a long time. The factors include, which bank has the short sale, who the negotiator at the bank is, what the offers look like to name a few. Sometimes the short sales are unbelievably fast at 60 to 90 days and sometimes they can take over a year and in some cases get foreclosed on despite the efforts of everyone involved. When the bank is interested in selling the home as a short sale and not pursuing a foreclosure they will approve the short sale at a price and terms and this is when a buyer can pick up a home at a great price. Sometimes the prices are better than the foreclosures which can be bid up to more than what they should be selling for. Some people are under the false impression that just because it’s a foreclosure it’s the best deal on the market. The short sale is also in many cases in better condition.

Take you pick apple or orange but make sure you contact us for a San Diego Foreclosure or San Diego Short Sale!

If you’re looking to buy a home or condo in San Diego or Chula Vista home repos meaning “foreclosures, bank owned homes or REO’s” there is a new interesting way to buy them. You can go on a Home Repo Tour Bus. Hmmmmm … I had to think about this for a while. Does this really work out in the best interest of the buyer? It’s hard to believe it could.

Let’s dissect this a little bit. Bob and Sue are going to buy a home in San Diego County and let’s just say they’re considering buying in the Chula Vista area. They can contact a Realtor who specializes in Chula Vista Real Estate and get one on one service or they can go on a Home Repo Tour Bus and compete for the same homes with 30 other people. What I’ve also noticed is that companies offering the Repo Bus option will show you mostly if not exclusively their REO listings and not all of the REO’s on the market. This means Bob and Sue are only seeing a small portion of what’s actually available. This can be very short sited for a buyer but the real estate repo bus companies love it.

So you jump on the repo bus and what you’ll see is that the nicer more desirable foreclosures are the ones that everyone wants to put offers in on. I wonder how that gets dealt with fairly. Bob and Sue now have to get the agent to submit their offer in with 5 other offers to the company that has the REO. Hmmmmmm…… Be careful. There is a better way… a much better way.

You should hire a local real estate expert to help you find a home one on one. They will dedicate the time to help you find the right home at the right price. They will also show you all of the foreclosures not just the ones they have for sale. Also there are many good deals that are short sales and just regular listing that you won’t ever see on a rep bus. Please take my advice don’t get crammed into a repo bus when you can have a professional one on one relationship with a real estate agent who is working for you and only you. It makes all the difference in the world!
