USLoanz And Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program
The home affordable foreclosure alternatives program (HAFA) is a part of the “Making Home Affordable” plan. The HAFA is a viable alternative to the home affordable modification program (HAMP) and is designed to assist homeowners, who are at risk of losing their homes, by providing feasible options such as short-sale and deed-in-lieu.
If you are a HAMP eligible borrower, you can take advantage of the HAFA short sale if you:
- have failed to qualify for a HAMP trial loan modification
- are unable to get a HAMP permanent loan modification
- ask to be considered for the HAFA to keep your home
Short sale under HAFA :
One of the home affordable foreclosure alternatives is the “short-sale” process under which borrowers, who cannot afford their first mortgage, can sell their home and avoid foreclosures. The net proceeds of such a “short-sale” could be less than the total amount owed on the first mortgage.
How does a short-sale work?:
A “short-sale” home affordable foreclosure alternative procedure is executed in 3 steps.
- Pre-sale
- get a price list approved for your home or
- determine acceptable net sale proceeds
- Sales costs to be deducted from final price
- List your property for sale at approved price
- Offer
- get a suitable offer
- furnish the documents
- get the sale closed
- Close the sale
- repay your mortgage obligations
- receive $1,500 on displacement expenses
