Having trouble paying your mortgage

You know anyone that is having trouble paying their mortgage payment? Maybe they lost a job or been through a divorce. We can help. There must be three qualifications for a Short-Sale Homeowner. While the misconceptions of what qualifies a seller for a short sale are many, the reality is actually very simple. Following is an explanation of the three major items that most lenders are looking for to see if
you will qualify.

1. FINANCIAL HARDSHIP
First and foremost a lender will want to see that you have a ‘financial hardship’. A financial hardship is a verifiable issue that has or will cause you to miss payments or have financial difficulties. Almost every lender will want to see that you cannot afford to pay your current mortgage. The way that this is demonstrated is on a financial worksheet that your agent will provide. This is essentially a monthly profit and loss statement. While this may sound difficult in reality determining whether you have monthly shortfall or not is actually relatively easy.

2. MONTHLY SHORTFALL
While a short sale is an involved process, this is an excellent place to begin.
Financial hardships can be issues such as:
• Mortgage Payment Adjustment
• Job Loss
• Too Much Debt
• Business Failure
A simple definition for ‘financial hardship’ is:
A material change in-between the day the mortgage was signed and today that has affected your ability to pay.
The Shortfall equation is:
Total Monthly Income – Total Monthly Expense = Monthly Shortfall

In order to qualify for a short sale, you must not have the means to pay down
your mortgage. This means that the mortgage company wants to see that you owe
more than you have in cash (known as being insolvent). You do not however have to be completely broke ― this is a common misconception, the lender will want to see that over time you will not be able to pay your mortgage obligation. Having money in the bank for living expenses is common and will not disqualify you.
