      <title>Second Mortgage Won't Accept The First's Approval</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am currently representing a Buyer client on the purchase of a Short Sale. The Seller's first mortgage is a Fannie Mae backed loan with Wells Fargo. The second is with US Bank. This is a traditional short sale, not HAFA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Wells Fargo has issued their approval, with no Seller contribution at closing or promissory note. They have allocated 10% to the second mortgage, per their investor guidelines, and will permit no more - to the exclusion of additional funds/promissory notes from the Seller or the Buyer that those parties would be willing to bring to the closing table. US Bank has rejected these investor terms.&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Now, you're thinking, "so what's so unusual about any of this?" What's my point?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;My point, a question really, relates to the listing agent's ethical responsibility given this situation (per the Realtor Code of Ethics). Since the second mortgage has rejected participation in the short sale, shouldn't the listing be removed from the MLS? Or is it acceptable to let it languish, as part of an already bloated inventory, until it dies a natural death as an expired listing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I'm looking forward to reading your comments. Please post!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Soapbox &#10064; All That Bailout Money</title>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://liten.be//wECL1"&gt;Soapbox&lt;/a&gt;: "A thing that provides an opportunity for someone to air their views publicly."
&lt;p&gt;
I read an &lt;a href="http://liten.be//2szaF" title="Economy Watch: Deutsche Bank Suit, Debt Drivers"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; earlier today that made me gasp (which in the new vernacular means that it was compelling enough for me to hit the "share" button and comment). The US Government has filed a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank. That's the good news. The bad news is that it involves $1.274 BILLION  that HUD - that's us - has paid, or in the process of paying, this ONE bank, for bad loan insurance claims.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The heartbreaker is that this is really about bailing out a bank, not for mortgages that it originated (which would legitimize the HUD compensation), but for a bad investment decision Deutsche Bank made in &lt;a href="http://liten.be//sb59w" title="Deutsche Bank completes acquisition of MortgageIT Holdings"&gt;2007&lt;/a&gt; when it bought a subprime/Alt-A lender, &lt;a href="http://liten.be//eRTns" title="MortgageIT, Inc."&gt;MortgageIT&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
How did a lender who "specializes" in subprime/Alt-A mortgages EVER get approved to originate HUD insured loans? From my brief internet foray into researching MortgageIT, it doesn't look like they did. They simply bought HUD backed loans from "small to mid-sized banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers" to enhance the marketability of their own portfolio. The one that Deutsche Bank bought off on.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
That being said, I know that Deutsche Bank is not stupid. I know that Deutsche Bank did their due diligence. I know that Deutsche Bank got burned. Wait, did they?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://liten.be//Bdz7g" title="Deutsche Bank Posts Best 1st Quarter Since 2007"&gt;Deutsche Bank Posts Best 1st Quarter Since 2007&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Executive Summary? &lt;strong&gt;Deutsche Bank Net Profits Up 17%&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Shame on us ...
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

      <title>Syracuse Museum and Cultural Center</title>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://hillafblayton.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/101_0183.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-39" title="Syracuse Museum &amp;amp; Cultural Center" src="http://hillafblayton.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/101_0183.jpg?w=150" height="112" alt="" width="150"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I know that this video is a little long, but my tour guide was so enthusiastic and "in the know" that I practically forgot that I was recording our conversation. The museum is located at 2000 W and 1700 S and is part of a larger complex that includes the Syracuse City Municipal Building, the Post Office, the Northwest Branch of the Davis County Library and the Public Safety Building.
&lt;p&gt;
The center consists of four individual buildings. The barn seems much more interesting than the displays in the main building, primarily because it is set up for more interactive learning. You can tell that it is a favorite field trip destination for elementary school children in Syracuse. The barber shop and pioneer home are curiosities because of their age, but are locked up securely to maintain preservation.

      <description>&lt;a href="http://kimnovakremax.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/istock_000013553184small1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-168" title="Stock Photo" src="http://kimnovakremax.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/istock_000013553184small1.jpg?w=150" height="102" alt="" width="150"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;During 2010, there were 25,119 sales closed and posted in &lt;a href="http://www.utahrealestate.com/"&gt;WFRMLS&lt;/a&gt; (Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service - Utah). There are currently 8,194 active agents. That's only 3 sales, per year, per agent.
&lt;p&gt;
When you're interviewing a Realtor&#174; to represent your home buying or home selling interests, an important question to is, "how many clients did you, Ms/Mr Realtor, help achieve their homeownership goals this past year?"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This is an especially important question because there is and has been no room for error in pricing and negotiation, advertising and marketing, during this continuing housing crisis.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
In order for you to be successful achieving your home buying or home sale goals, you'll need a Realtor&#174; who is experienced in working through the challenges of THIS real estate market.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Thankful for 48 Closed Sales in 2011!

      <title>Is It Finally Time to Buy ( or Sell ) a Home in Northern Utah?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Although it will be quiet through the week leading in to the new year, January 3rd, the first business Monday in 2011, will bring renewed activity to our real estate market. All indicators point to a January 2011 that will bring with it stabilization of home values and the quantitative beginnings of recovery in our local housing market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With both home prices and interest rates at historic lows, it is a perfect time to buy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With prices and rates bringing more buyers in to the market, it is a perfect time to sell.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>KeyBank's Key Community Mortgage</title>
      <description>Update on &lt;a href="http://www.utahhouseandhome.com/mydata/files/Key_Bank_100_Financing_Option.jpg"&gt;KeyBank's 100% Financing Program&lt;/a&gt;:
&lt;p&gt;
In my last post about this topic, I referred to this as a "new" program. After meeting with Kristin Shields and Will Mullin, KeyBank Mortgage Advisor and Relationship Manager respectively, I know now that Key has had this program in place for +/- four years.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Disclaimer: The information that I am sharing here is NOT to promote KeyBank. As a professional REALTOR&#174;, representing both buyers and sellers, it is my &lt;em&gt;responsiblity&lt;/em&gt; to have a broad knowledge of available financing to achieve my client's home ownership (or home sale) goals. Lender guidelines vary, the most significant of which is FICO score minimums. I have experienced some lender FICO requirements as high as 720. KeyBank's 620 benchmark is extremely borrower friendly.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The 100% program is actually called the "&lt;a href="http://www.utahhouseandhome.com/mydata/files/Key_Community_Mortgage.pdf"&gt;Key Community Mortgage&lt;/a&gt;". I entered the meeting a skeptic. I left a believer. And I can't wait to share this incredible financing opportunity with my clients. No other lender that I am aware of is offering a truly obtainable community mortgage such as this. I was even able to get a glowing recommendation about the program from a title officer who I know and trust, who has successfully closed a Key Community Mortgage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Meeting Summary&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Question: Why is KeyBank offering this program? It seems too good to be true, or too good to last.&lt;br&gt;
Answer: This is Key's way of meeting federal requirements for community investment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Question: What does this mean, realistically, in terms of purchase price and interest rate, for the borrower?&lt;br&gt;
Answer: A $500 minimum investment, approximately .25% add on to the interest rate (example: yesterday's rate was 5.25% = .25% over yesterday's VA rate), and, based on income guidelines, works ideally on a purchase price up to $180,000.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Question: Are the funds available for this program limited, capped or budgeted?&lt;br&gt;
Answer: NO
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cool Program Details&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;li&gt;Minimum FICO score is 620. This is also true for their FHA and VA loans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Income limits are based on Borrower's Income only, not Household Income, which is problematic sometimes with Utah Housing Loans (another 100% option)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Income limits do not apply in &lt;a href="http://www.ffiec.gov/geocode/default.aspx"&gt;Target Areas&lt;/a&gt; (refer to the &lt;a href="http://www.utahhouseandhome.com/mydata/files/Key_Community_Mortgage.pdf"&gt; program guide&lt;/a&gt;, pages 6-9, to determine tract income level of subject property and financing guidelines)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No First Time Homebuyer Requirement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No Mortgage Insurance, so the .25% rate add is a non-issue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can be used to refinance at 90% CLTV&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And, the coolest of the cool, is that each Key Community Mortgage is &lt;em&gt;manually underwritten&lt;/em&gt;. Aha! A lender that realizes that a person, and their life, cannot simply be reduced to a three digit number and an underwriter guideline.&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Utilities are Not Required to be on for a VA Appraisal</title>
      <description>VA Appraisals and Utilities Update:
&lt;p&gt;
According to &lt;a href="http://www.vba.va.gov/ro/denver/loan/lgy.htm"&gt;VA Denver&lt;/a&gt;, the utilities, furnace, water heater, etc do not need to be on for a VA appraiser to complete the appraisal. Most lenders/underwriters, such as those at Wells Fargo and KeyBank, agree that they only require the property to meet VA guidelines, and do not have additional lending/underwriting layering. The appraiser is only required to note deficiencies if there is an obvious problem ie a red tagged furnace.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This is great news if you happen to be working with a VA buyer on the purchase of a foreclosed or short sale home, especially during the winter. Most banks and home owners of vacant properties can and will arrange for the utilities to be on for the purpose of a home inspection, for a brief period of time. Coordinating schedules between utility providers, de-winterization, and home inspectors is generally doable, but throwing an appraiser's schedule in to the mix is generally not.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
FHA appraisal guidelines are not as lenient. All utilities must be on and the furnace, water heater, etc must be demonstrably operational.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

      <title>VA Appraisals and the "Reasonable Person" Theory</title>
      <description>I have always been under the impression that the utilities must be on and the furnace, water heater, etc must be in operating condition when a VA appraiser appraises a home. Apparently, that isn't the case. It is true for FHA appraisals, but not VA.
&lt;p&gt;
This morning, I received a telephone call from a VA appraiser to schedule an appointment to get in to one of my (approved) short sale listings. I told him that the home was vacant, but that the seller had made arrangements with the utility companies to have utilities all on &lt;em&gt;the previous week&lt;/em&gt;, for the buyer's home inspection and appraisal - with the lender's coordination. As of now, except for the electricity, the utilities have been shut off again.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The appraiser informed me (much to my relief) that VA did not require that the utilities be on - only FHA appraisals have that condition. For VA, the appraisers operate under the "reasonable person" theory. The theory that a reasonable person, and prudent home buyer, would have a professional inspection to determine if the furnace, water heater, plumbing, etc were in proper working order.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find the VA documentation to confirm this. What is interesting is that I cannot locate anything that says that the utilities MUST be on, either. In search of a definitive answer, I've posted the question on the &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/AppraisalInstitute"&gt;Appraisal Institute's Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt; and also joined the &lt;a href="http://appraisersforum.com/"&gt;Appraisers Forum&lt;/a&gt;.

      <title>Key Bank Introduces New 100% Loan Product</title>
      <description>I'm looking forward to a luncheon at &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=15437872336468221008&amp;amp;q=key+bank+salt+lake+city+utah&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;dtab=5&amp;amp;sll=40.706902,-111.920032&amp;amp;sspn=0.148225,0.172475&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=40.928559,-112.201996&amp;amp;spn=0,0&amp;amp;z=11"&gt;Key Bank&lt;/a&gt; on Thursday, December 16th, as they introduce their new 100% financing loan product. .25% rate add, no mortgage insurance, 620 FICO score with no lates in past 12 months, income cap at $51,000. No first time homebuyer restrictions.
&lt;p&gt;
Hope this provides some of my clients with an option for financing that they wouldn't otherwise have.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This is a conventional program that seems to offer a borrower more flexible guidelines to meet than Utah Housing, or even the standard FHA loan. Debt ratio not to exceed 42%. There is a minimum borrower's investment of $500, which could be in the form of the buyer's earnest money deposit.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
