3 Ways to Stop a Foreclosure inOverland Park, Kansas
When your mortgage lender has filed aNotice of Default, your options as an Overland Park homeowner arelimited. Before the lender has filed the Notice of Default, beaggressive in following up with the mortgage lender in requestingoptions like a loan forbearance, loan modification or debtforgiveness.
If it is too late for assistance or themortgage lender has refused helping you, you still have options toprevent a foreclosure from ruining your credit.
You can request to short sale your home. If the mortgage lender accepts the short sale, they will most likely not go after you for a deficient judgment. If you hire a qualified short sale specialist, you should have no out of pocket expenses. In fact, you may get relocation expenses paid by the mortgage lender if you keep up the property. You can also agree to sell your home and pay any shortage. You can offer to give your home as a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure. This may be less stressful, but mortgage lenders are telling me that the Deed-in-Lieu of Mortgage is viewed like a foreclosure on the credit report.

Many people find relaxation by doingdifferent things. For some people, it is a 2 week vacation to thebeach. For others it is a weekend trip to the Ozarks.
Other forms of relaxation maybe a nightout at the movies or a day trip to Hillsdale Lake.
What do you do for relaxation?
I find relaxation in watching my coralsand fish in my 200 gallon saltwater aquarium. My aquarium is in myhome office. When I'm working on a tough marketing project, I willstare into my aquarium.
Often times I'm asked by friends aboutwhere to get saltwater fish, corals and aquariums in Johnson County,Kansas. Here are my favorites in no particular order.:
Mission Pet Mart – Located at 6900 Martway Street. Www.MissionPetMart.comPros: Good selection of fish and corals. Mission Pet Mart has some of the best prices on corals in Johnson County. The staff is knowledgeable. Occasionally, they will sell you something that might not fit your fish tank. Also have an average assortment of fish supplies and chemicals. I have bought a few fish and coral from Mission Pet Mart and have been happy. Cons: Very little to any assortment of aquariums. Don't even really have 30 and 55 gallon aquariums on stock. Will offer to special order you an aquarium. Son of owner will custom design a large aquarium, I have been told. Called him 3 times and never heard back. I did buy a sea cucumber from Mission Pet Mart. Salesman said that they are relatively harmless. After seeing a sea cucumber wipe out a friends tank, I removed mine from my tank. Pros: Good assortment of mostly freshwater aquariums. Cons: No saltwater fish and little selection of saltwater supplies. Mainly stock freshwater fish. Aquarium Wholesale – 20700 W. 151st Street in Olathe, Kansas (Mall of the Great Plains or whatever the new name is today.). I recommend this store, just be cautious when purchasing. You will get better deals is they know you.
Pros: One of the largest selections of fish, corals and used tanks and supplies. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are very reasonable and they like to wheel and deal. Cons: Know what you want before you head in. I have run in for one item and have been convinced that I need another item. My external pump on my sump went out. Rushed in and the owner sold me a ¼ the size internal pump. I was told by a staff member later that they were low on pumps and was sold what they had. Also, prices in ads are ½ of what they actually are priced in store. Few prices are on tanks. One night, my wife was quoted a price on a fish that was $30 more than what I was quoted. Also the store is in a mall that charges 10% tax. Pros: The owner is an ex-manager of Pet World in Lawrence, Kansas. He is very knowledgeable and honest. Stands behind his warranty. Had a couple saltwater fish die before I got home. He replaced them 3 weeks later. Good prices. He can special order anything. Cons: More of a pet shop that dabbles in saltwater. Small selection of saltwater supplies and fish. Pros: Honest and Knowledgeable. They ask a lot of questions so they can give you the best advice. I have actually had them refuse to sell me things because I was rushing things and mixing incompatible fish and corals. Great selection of fish, corals and aquariums. I have been incredibly happy with every purchase I have made from them. Cons: Only real con is prices. They have the highest prices in town. I guess their knowledge is worth something. Picasso Exotic Aquatics – 11560 Ash Street in Leawood, Kansas. Www.PicassoExoticAquatics.com (Just discovered this fish store). I would definetley visit this store. Pros: Your imagination will wonder in this fish store. Best selection of fish and corals in Johnson County. Tanks are beautiful and very well cleaned. Prices are reasonable on fish and coral. They have a large selection of high end corals and fish. Manager is very curtious and helpful the one time I visited. Cons: Although their fish are priced average, their specialty tanks are high priced. You will not find their tanks in most stores. Pros: Lowest prices of fish and coral in Johnson County. Knowledgeable on coral. Cons: Small selection of fish and coral. In order to buy without ordering online, you need to make an appointment which are typically nights and weekends. Most orders are mail orders.
Other places worth noting are Pet World in Lawrence (Chris the fish manager is very helpful. Made quite a few purchases from Pet World) and Fish World in Blue Springs. I haven't explored many of the Missouri fish stores yet.

3 Ways to Stop a Foreclosure in Olathe,Kansas
When your mortgage lender has filed aNotice of Default, your options as an Olathe homeowner are limited.Before the lender has filed the Notice of Default, be aggressive infollowing up with the mortgage lender in requesting options like aloan forbearance, loan modification or debt forgiveness.
If it is too late for assistance or themortgage lender has refused helping you, you still have options toprevent a foreclosure from ruining your credit.
You can request to short sale your home. If the mortgage lender accepts the short sale, they will most likely not go after you for a deficient judgment. If you hire a qualified short sale specialist, you should have no out of pocket expenses. In fact, you may get relocation expenses paid by the mortgage lender if you keep up the property. You can also agree to sell your home and pay any shortage. You can offer to give your home as a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure. This may be less stressful, but mortgage lenders are telling me that the Deed-in-Lieu of Mortgage is viewed like a foreclosure on the credit report.
The Kansas City Real Estate Network isKansas City #1 Short Sale Specialist.

I Want a Pricing Analysis on my Olathe Home – What I really need is to Prevent my Olathe Home from Getting Foreclosed on
Every week, we get a handful of calls from homeowners who want a pricing analysis on their home. Most are actually thinking about either refinancing their home or fighting a property tax dispute.
A month ago I received a phone call from a gentleman while he was at work. He seemed very eager to get his home on the market. He even asked, “Can his home be on the market by Saturday.”
That evening I met him at his Olathe home. I started by asking a few probing questions so I could best help him. He didn't want any part of this process.
I then proceeded to my generic presentation since I didn't know what his needs were. I couldn't get through my presentation, all he really wanted was the raw real estate data on his home. He wanted to know how much his home was worth. I gave him a range and all he wanted to do was argue that his home was worth more. I told him, “We can list for higher. The home buyers ultimately pick the value.”
He said, “I want to sleep on it.”
Well it has been over a month and after a few unreturned emails and phone calls at work, I decided to drop by his home and see if he was ready to list his Olathe home.
When I got to his home, he wasn't there but his wife was.
His wife informed me that they weren't going to list. He was just trying to find the value so he could decide whether he was going to refinance. He decided to refinance and the appraiser was within a $1000 of my market analysis.
She went on to inform me that her husband was upset because they spent $500 on a mortgage application fee to find out that they didn't have enough equity in their home to refinance. They needed the money to stay afloat and keep up the mortgage. If they didn't refinance, she was afraid they would get foreclosed on. The reality of owing more money on their Olathe home than what it was worth was uncomfortable and they may need to FSBO their home.
After informing her that although they had made a couple mistakes, I assured her that I could help her out of her situation.
I left the meeting by scheduling an appointment. My next appointment will be how I can help this prevent this couples home from getting foreclosed on and how I can help them from having this situation from ruining their credit.

The Big News: The Kansas City, MissouriSchool District Loses Their Accreditation. Now What? Will the KansasCity Real Estate Market Suffer? Surely Real Estate Foreclosures will Rise!
While nothing will happen until Januaryof 2011 and the school district having 2 years to make changes, it isobvious why the past superintendent left so abruptly for a Michiganschool district.
Will kids leave the school district forneighboring school districts or will the interim superintendent makesome much needed changes?
The question I don't see getting askedis will this affect the real estate market. I believe that if theKansas City School District does not at least get a provisionalaccreditation the real estate market will suffer.
How many families if given the choicewill stay in Kansas City vs. moving to an area where the schooldistrict is good. I see families who have the ability to move willmove to school districts in the suburbs like Belton, Raymore, Lee'sSummit and Blue Springs. I even see the neighborhoods in JohnsonCounty benefiting.
For home buyers choosing a new home,surely the lack of a functioning school district will affect theirdecisions, right?
As a REALTOR with over 22 yearsexperience, the schools get brought up 90% of the time whether thebuyer has kids or not. Most buyers understand that good schools aregood for resale values.
Unless the Kansas City, Missouri SchoolDistrict fixes their current situation, I see the Kansas City realestate market suffering more. Current homeowners will have troubleselling and many who try to sell will have problems. Foreclosures will rise in the Kansas City, Missouri School District if the problems do not get fixed.

What are the Upfront Cost to Refinance a Kansas City Home?
Olathe Resident “Jack” Writes:
With mortgage loan rates so low, I'm thinking about refinancing my Olathe home so I can payoff some higher interest rate credit cards. What do you think and what are the cost and risk?
Real Estate Wizard:
Great idea, Jack, if the numbers work. Paying off high interest rate credit cards is always a great idea. The problem is do you have equity in your Olathe home and the credit to refinance?
First, figure out the value of your Olathe home. If you need help, contact an Olathe Realtor. A current mortgage lender will typically lend you 80% of what your home is worth, before they start adding additional fees and insurance. Figure that a current appraisal will be conservative.
Your upfront fees will typically be $400-500. This will pay for the appraisal and credit report. If you get the loan, this maybe credited back. If you back out, the application fee will typically not be refunded back because they will be paying for actual fees that have been generated.
The reasons why some homeowners back out of refinancing is there is not sufficient credit for the bank to issue the new loan or sufficient equity in the home.
If you like to figure your equity position before you apply for a refinance, contact an Olathe Realtor and have them figure a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) on your Olathe Home. Let the Olathe Realtor know upfront that you are planning on using the BPO to refinance. This may help in over-evaluations.
Lately, I have heard of quite a few refinances not going through due to low appraisals.
Best of luck, Jack, and if you need anymore help, feel free to contact the Real Estate Wizard.

Should you Apply for a HAFA Short Sale in Kansas City to Prevent Your Kansas City Home from Being Foreclosed On?
Ok, you're struggling to meet the monthly mortgage payment. Since you been laid off from your full-time job, the part-time jobs are not even coming close to helping your family financially.
You have thought about selling, but you owe more than what your home is worth. Now what?
Try a HAFA short sale.
Yes, there are many horror stories because the program started on the wrong foot. Now that the wrinkles have been worked out, the HAFA short sales are working.
First, there are pre-approved HAFA short sales and the traditional HAFA short sales.
A pre-approved HAFA short sale has been approved by the mortgage lender prior to an offer. The benefit is that the bank will help determine the list price. A pre-approved HAFA short sale will be much faster to negotiate once an offer has been submitted. In some cases, most HAFA short sales can be negotiated and closed within 45 days.
A traditional HAFA short sale has not been approved by the mortgage lender prior to an offer. Matter a fact, there is many documents required by the seller during a traditional HAFA short sale, that most of these take 3-7 months to negotiate and close. Most HAFA short sales fall into this category.
The benefits of negotiating a HAFA short sale are the bank will issue a full release of liability, the homeowner can receive up to $5,000 in relocation funds, the mortgage bank can not foreclose during the HAFA process, the homeowner will contribute zero expenses in the sale and the mortgage lender is required to acknowledge and start negotiating the HAFA short sale within 10 business days.
The risk of hiring an unqualified HAFA short sale specialist is the short sale process blows up or worse, the homeowner does not receive up to $5,000 in relocation expenses due to the tricky and complicated paperwork and short sale process.
Before you hire a HAFA short sale specialist ask them how many successful short sales they have completed.
There are more then just HAFA short sales. There are also FHA short sales, Fannie Mae HAFA Short Sales, Freddie Mac HAFA Short Sale and Traditional Short Sales.

Last week I met 2 Olathe home buyers who both ended the weekend with a different tune . . .
Monday I received a phone call on another real estate agents' listing from a lady. She seemed very interested in the home in Olathe, Kansas. I tried to schedule an appointment with her but she was very hesitant. The home she called on was an Olathe foreclosure that was priced to sell. I even told her that, but I think she thought it was some sales gimmick....Go figure.
If she really knew me she would have known that is not my style. I prefer happy clients who will refer me to their friends, family and neighbors.
Well the conversation ended with an, “ I will think about it.”.
The week was rolling along and before I knew it Friday was already here.
On Friday I received a phone call from a buyer on another property. I scheduled an appointment with the buyer and my business partner, Martin Taggart, for over the weekend.
The property the buyer called about ended up being a dud. Not only was it needing to much work, it was also overpriced. Martin called me to let me know that the home was not going to work while he was showing the buyer the home.
I told Martin that I had a buyer call about a home this week that they passed on. Thinking the home may fit this buyers needs I gave Martin the address so he could show the buyer the home.
Not only did it fit the buyers needs and wants, they emotionally feel in love with the home. Martin spent Saturday night writing up the offer and Sunday negotiating the terms. The buyers were so excited they referred us two of their friends. They were so excited about finding their dream home for nearly the same payment they were paying on their current home.
The home sits on nearly a ½ acre lot and features a finished basement with a wet bar, a wonderful kitchen and a master suite that puts most homes to shame. Not only is it a wonderful home, it is priced well under market.
Sunday while Martin and I were fine tuning the negotiating for the buyers of this home, the original buyers called us up. They called us to let us know that after spending the week calculating that they the home was potentially $125,000 under market that they wanted to schedule an appointment and if it potentially met their needs they were prepared to write an offer.
Now here came the hard part. We had to inform them that the home they had been thinking about for nearly a week, had already been sold and no it wasn’t $125,000 below market, it was more than $150,000 below maket.
While we were informing them, an email popped up on our email server. It was another home with similar characteristics priced nearly the same.
We'll find out tonight if it is similar when we go to show it to the first buyer.
If you're looking for a home, the Dowell Taggart Team know where the best buys are in Kansas City.

Ex-Leawood,Kansas Attorney Pead Guilty to Wire Fraud in Real Estate Ponzi Scheme
JamesScott Brown, 66, of Leawood, Kansas, plead guilty to participating ina conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. During a 10-year periodfrom 2000 to 2010, investors in the United States loaned a total of$52.5 million to Smith and co-conspirators through a Real EstatePonzi scheme that was known as the British Lending Program (BLP).Victims believed they were loaning money for legitimate real estatedevelopment projects, but in reality, most of their money was kept byco-conspirators (or used to pay interest and principal to otherlenders).
Brown,an attorney, participated in the UMKC program at Oxford University.During the past decade, Brown did not actively practice law; instead,Brown’s primary occupation was the BLP, from which he tooksubstantial fees. Brown did business as British American Group and asJ. Scott Brown and Associates.
Accordingto plea agreements, the British Lending Program (BLP) operated as aPonzi scheme and served as a fee-generating machine for the benefitof co-conspirators.

Short sale Incentives Mortgage Lenders and Banks Keep for Themselves....
“Martin, the Lender offered an incentive for me to live in my home and keep it in good condition during the short sale process?”.
“Yes”, says I.
“So I kept the home in good condition and they should pay me?”
“Yes again”, says I.
“Then why are they telling us we need to hand that incentive back to them, the Lender, in order to complete the short sale?”.
Simple, the Lender has figured out that your motive is to protect your credit, and restart your life. Those juicy, Federally-funded incentives are low-hanging fruit, just waiting to be plucked from your wallet.
It’s extortion.
Would the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts offer a season ticket discount, then charge your credit card full price?
Heck no!
The Lender knows you’ll fold when they tell you the only way you can short sale your home is to hand over the incentive, in exchange for the privilege.
More and more often, when we challenge this practice we are told;
“....The FHA incentive is $1000.00. If the full amount is delivered to the Seller, it will drop the net and we'll no longer be meeting net....I will still need a letter advising they agree to forfeit (the incentive).”
-actual Bank of America secured email
Look, I’ve heard it all....
”These people who short sale are already getting a cushy ride...”.
“Banks are allowed to make a profit.”
Blah, blah, blah.
If you offer to trade money for value, then follow through. These people who are short selling their homes are already braced for a tremendous impact on their credit scores, moving their homes, placing their children in new schools....
Here’s an idea! Walk into the local supermarket, buy the groceries then ask for your money back.
Let me know how that works out for you. I hear you get a telephone call, and 3 hot meals....

Is the Foreclosure if First Family Church the Sign of the Economic Times in Overland Park or a Victim of Poor Management?
This weekend is the last church service at the First Family Church in Southern Overland Park. The church is a mega-church that sits on a huge patch of land just east of 69 Highway on 143rd Street in Overland Park, Kansas.
Why is the church closing down? It can't pay its mortgage payment to its bank. It's bank, Regions Bank, has initiated foreclosure proceedings.
Is the church not meeting its financial obligations a victim of the economic times? Maybe.
Why shouldn't a church be any different than a family. Many families are suffering hard times, it makes sense that churches are suffering hard times. Just look around and see all of the short sales and foreclosures in Johnson County. The Overland Park church tried to refinance and renegotiate its financial obligations, but it has lost over $8,000,000 in value the past year. That sounds like many families I have visited the past year. They have tried to refinance, but their homes have lost to much in value and now they are forced to short sale or let their home go to foreclosure.
Just like a family, the church will move on. The church is changing its name and will start meeting at Olathe East High School.
If you know of someone in Kansas City having problems paying their mortgage payment, the Kansas City Real Estate Network can help them.

How does a mortgage lender qualify a Kansas City Homeowner for a Short Sale?- How to Stop a Kansas City Foreclosure
There are many misconceptions of what qualifies a Kansas City homeowner for a short sale. Lets ignore the paperwork and start with simple qualifications for requesting a short sale. The following is an explanation of the three major qualifications that most mortgage lenders look at in order to see if a Kansas City homeowner is qualified for a short sale.
I) Financial Hardship for Kansas City homeowners
A financial hardship for Kansas City homeowners is a verifiable issue that has caused the Kansas City homeowner to miss mortgage payments on their Kansas City home and will continue to miss mortgage payments for the near future. The Kansas City homeowner is having financial difficulties.
Financial hardships for Kansas City homeowners can be the results from:
1) Loss of job
2) Loss of income
3) Relocation
4) Illness of borrower or co-borrower
5) Divorce
6) Death of a co-borrower that helped you qualify for the mortgage loan
7) Declining local market property values
8) High medical bills
9) Hefty unplanned expenses
II) Monthly Shortfall for Kansas City homeowners
A monthly shortfall is when a Kansas City homeowner makes less then monthly expenses. Nearly every mortgage lender will want to see first before accepting a short sale that a Kansas City homeowner cannot afford to pay their current mortgage. This is typically demonstrated by the Kansas City homeowner completing a financial worksheet or a monthly profit and loss statement.
The equation a mortgage lender uses to figure if a Kansas City homeowner has a shortfall is:
Total Monthly Income – Total Monthly Expense = Monthly Shortfall
You may qualify if you have a monthly shortfall or if a monthly shortfall is imminent
III) Insolvency for Kansas City homeowners
In order to qualify for a short sale, a Kansas City homeowner must not have the means to pay down their mortgage loan. This means that the mortgage company wants to see that the Kansas City homeowner has more debt than they have in cash. The mortgage lender wants to see that the Kansas City homeowner can no longer meet their financial obligations with their lender as debts become due.
The Kansas City homeowner does not have to be completely out of cash – this is a common misconception; the mortgage lender typically will want to see that over time the Kansas City homeowner will not be able to pay their mortgage obligation. Having cash in the bank for living expenses is common and will not disqualify an Kansas City homeowner.
A Kansas City, Kansas Homeowner is looking to have the mortgage lender grant a short sale to prevent a Kansas City real estate foreclosure. The lender will grant a short sale if they believe that a foreclosure is inevitable and by granting a short sale they will save expenses vs. processing a lengthy and expensive foreclosure. To the mortgage lender it is a business decision.
We help stop real estate foreclosures in Kansas City everyday. Find out why the Dowell Taggart Team of the Kansas City Real Estate Network is the most referred Loss Mitigation Short Sale Specialist in Kansas City.

Should you short sale your Spring Hill, Kansas home or let it go to foreclosure? The Spring Hill Short Sale Specialist can help . . .
Kids in school, the final days of summer ahead as your family prepares for Fall....Should be a time to relax on the deck in your Sprig Hill, Kansas home. Enjoying a few final weekends as summer activities make way for the new school year in the Spring Hill School District is a routine fall ritual, right?
You’re family has been motoring along with its schedule and all of a sudden a few hiccups come along.
The truck needs to be repaired, then your son needs surgery from a football injury and now your boss announces the news that he will need to start layoffs soon. The end of summer weekend vacation to Springfield, Missouri gets tossed off of the family plans.
The bills start piling up. The “payment due” notices for your mortgage become a weekly delivery in your mailbox. You just received a “Notice of Default” from your mortgage on your Spring Hill, Kansas. Now what?
Solution 1 is the avoidance technique; you quit answering the telephone whenever the familiar “800” prefix pops up....you start to throw away the notices without opening them.
It works for a short while. But after a while, problems soon mushroom into catastrophes. The sheriff comes knocking at the door of your Spring Hill, KS. home and is the bearer of bad news. You have been foreclosed on, the bank wants your Spring Hill house back.
When you checkout other Spring Hill housing situations you find out that the foreclosure and poor credit is limiting your options to rent a Spring Hill home, apartment or duplex.There are other choices, other options.
Solution 2 is to talk to friends or inexperienced confidant who recommends a high priced solution. Remember, the reason you’re in this situation is a lack of funds, right? Or worse yet. They don’t discuss their high fee until the end. Lets look at other solutions.
Ok, a friend recommends a Spring Hill REALTOR to help you for solution 3. Just happens that their best friend dabbles in real estate “part time”. You think you have hired a professional to help you out of the situation but a few days later you find out that the “part time” Spring Hill REALTOR” you just hired is actually learning. The last time they used the Short Sale Equator System was during the first update. Or worse yet, they have never used the Equator System. Don’t worry about getting any relocation expenses, They don’t understand the proper channels in requesting the expenses. If there is a problem, they don’t understand the escalation steps in order to get a proper remedy. The horror stories you have heard about short sale seem to be ALL true. The stress consumes ALL of your energy. You find yourself taking it out on your kids, spouse and friends.
If the 3 previous solutions don’t seem like good options, and we can understand if they don’t, try a forth option.
The forth solution is to contact an experienced Loss Mitigation Consultant from the Kansas City Real Estate Network who can help you solve your problems. We have a team of professional Sprig Hill REALTORS and Lawyers who have successful solved the foreclosure problems of many Spring Hill Homeowners for the past 7 years. We bill the banks for serving you and we have even used HAFA and other programs to get relocation assistance of up to $5000 for you. Not only do we understand the Spring Hill short sales steps, we’re on short sale advisory boards.
The Kansas City Real Estate Network will inform you of your choices. A short sale in Spring Hill is not your only choice. You can refinance, request a loan modification, request a forbearance or give your deed in lieu of foreclosure.
We’ll explain what an Spring Hill short sale is and how Spring Hill short sales work. We’ll work with you on getting the proper documentation including an Spring Hill short sale hardship letter.We’ll explain how we’ll get an Spring Hill short sale negotiator from your lender.We’ll provide additional information about Spring Hill short sales.
Find out why the Kansas City Real Estate Network is the most referred name in helping homeowners out of foreclosure in Spring Hill, Kansas.
1) Did you know that foreclosures are handled differently in Kansas than in Missouri? That’s OK, most people don’t. We can help you whether you’re in Kansas or Missouri.2) Did you know that with many banks don’t answer request for short sales via phone, fax or email? That is right. We communicate with most banks through a private server that they have granted access to help homeowners prevent foreclosure.3) Did you know that most Spring Hill homeowners don’t pay us a dime? That is right. We collect our fee from the banks and they don’t tack on the fees to you.4) Of course you know that by choosing the wrong person to help you could possibly cost you thousands and BAD credit....?5) A delay won’t hurt, right? I mean I would like to see what I can do myself, first.Wrong idea. A delay of even 2 weeks can put a limit on options of what we can do for you. Did you know that a bank in certain circumstances can foreclose on a home and have the sheriff at your door steps in 45 days? We can help prevent this if we have enough time.6) Isn’t it worth your while to checkout your options? If you said yes. We agree.
Contact us for a “Free Consultation.” We’ll let you know up front whether we can help you. We can help you short sale your Spring Hill home. (913) 712-9313

 How does a mortgage lender qualify a Prairie Village, KS. Homeowner for a Short Sale?- How to Stop a Prairie Village, Kansas Foreclosure
There are many misconceptions of what qualifies a Prairie Village, Kansas homeowner for a short sale. Lets ignore the paperwork and start with simple qualifications for requesting a short sale. The following is an explanation of the three major qualifications that most mortgage lenders look at in order to see if a Prairie Village, Kansas homeowner is qualified for a short sale.
I) Financial Hardship for Prairie Village, KS. homeowners
A financial hardship for Prairie Village, KS, homeowners is a verifiable issue that has caused the Prairie Village homeowner to miss mortgage payments on their Prairie Village, KS. home and will continue to miss mortgage payments for the near future. The Prairie Village, Kansas homeowner is having financial difficulties.
Financial hardships for Prairie Village, Kansas homeowners can be the results from:
1) Loss of job
2) Loss of income
3) Relocation
4) Illness of borrower or co-borrower
5) Divorce
6) Death of a co-borrower that helped you qualify for the mortgage loan
7) Declining local market property values
8) High medical bills
9) Hefty unplanned expenses
II) Monthly Shortfall for Prairie Village, KS. homeowners
A monthly shortfall is when a Prairie Village, KS. homeowner makes less then monthly expenses. Nearly every mortgage lender will want to see first before accepting a short sale that a Prairie Village homeowner cannot afford to pay their current mortgage. This is typically demonstrated by the Prairie Village, KS. homeowner completing a financial worksheet or a monthly profit and loss statement.
The equation a mortgage lender uses to figure if a Prairie Village, KS. homeowner has a shortfall is:
Total Monthly Income – Total Monthly Expense = Monthly Shortfall
You may qualify if you have a monthly shortfall or if a monthly shortfall is imminent
III) Insolvency for Prairie Village, Kansas homeowners
In order to qualify for a short sale, a Prairie Village, KS. homeowner must not have the means to pay down their mortgage loan. This means that the mortgage company wants to see that the Prairie Village, KS. homeowner has more debt than they have in cash. The mortgage lender wants to see that the Prairie Village homeowner can no longer meet their financial obligations with their lender as debts become due.
The Prairie Village homeowner does not have to be completely out of cash – this is a common misconception; the mortgage lender typically will want to see that over time the Prairie Village homeowner will not be able to pay their mortgage obligation. Having cash in the bank for living expenses is common and will not disqualify an Prairie Village, Kansas homeowner.
A Prairie Village, Kansas Homeowner is looking to have the mortgage lender grant a short sale to prevent a Prairie Village real estate foreclosure. The lender will grant a short sale if they believe that a foreclosure is inevitable and by granting a short sale they will save expenses vs. processing a lengthy and expensive foreclosure. To the mortgage lender it is a business decision.
We help stop real estate foreclosures in Prairie Village, Kansas everyday. Find out why the Dowell Taggart Team of the Kansas City Real Estate Network is the most referred Loss Mitigation Short Sale Specialist in Prairie Village, Kansas.

Should you short sale your Roeland Park, Kansas home or let it go to foreclosure? The Roeland Park Short Sale Specialist can help . . .
Kids in school, the final days of summer ahead as your family prepares for Fall....Should be a time to relax on the deck in your Roeland Park, Kansas home. Enjoying a few final weekends as summer activities make way for the new school year in the Shawnee Mission School District is a routine fall ritual, right?
You’re family has been motoring along with its schedule and all of a sudden a few hiccups come along.
The block basement needs to be repaired, then your daughter needs surgery and now your boss announces the news that he will need to start layoffs soon. The end of summer weekend vacation to Des Moines gets tossed off of the family plans.
The bills start piling up. The “payment due” notices for your mortgage become a weekly delivery in your mailbox. You just received a “Notice of Default” from your mortgage on your Roeland Park, Kansas. Now what?
Solution 1 is the avoidance technique; you quit answering the telephone whenever the familiar “800” prefix pops up....you start to throw away the notices without opening them.
It works for a short while. But after a while, problems soon mushroom into catastrophes. The sheriff comes knocking at the door of your Roeland Park, KS. home and is the bearer of bad news. You have been foreclosed on, the bank wants your Roeland Park house back.
When you checkout other Roeland Park housing situations you find out that the foreclosure and poor credit is limiting your options to rent a Mission home, apartment or duplex.There are other choices, other options.
Solution 2 is to talk to friends or inexperienced confidant who recommends a high priced solution. Remember, the reason you’re in this situation is a lack of funds, right? Or worse yet. They don’t discuss their high fee until the end. Lets look at other solutions.
Ok, a friend recommends a Roeland Park REALTOR to help you for solution 3. Just happens that their best friend dabbles in real estate “part time”. You think you have hired a professional to help you out of the situation but a few days later you find out that the “part time” Roeland Park REALTOR” you just hired is actually learning. The last time they used the Short Sale Equator System was during the first update. Or worse yet, they have never used the Equator System. Don’t worry about getting any relocation expenses, They don’t understand the proper channels in requesting the expenses. If there is a problem, they don’t understand the escalation steps in order to get a proper remedy. The horror stories you have heard about short sale seem to be ALL true. The stress consumes ALL of your energy. You find yourself taking it out on your kids, spouse and friends.
If the 3 previous solutions don’t seem like good options, and we can understand if they don’t, try a forth option.
The forth solution is to contact an experienced Loss Mitigation Consultant from the Kansas City Real Estate Network who can help you solve your problems.

Kansas Foreclosure Laws - How to Stop a Kansas Foreclosure - What is a Short Sale?
Kansas is a judicial foreclosure mortgage state with no non-judicial foreclosures available. All foreclosures in Kansas are processed through the courts. The foreclosure sale for Kansas properties held at the courthouse steps around 130 days into the proceedings. A Kansas homeowner has typically 90 days from the sale date to redeem the sale at the sheriffs office.
The best way to prevent a Kansas from foreclosure is to short sale it prior to the sale date.
A short sale is when the mortgage lender allows a property to be sold for less than the amount owed on a mortgage and takes a loss. A short sale is important because in Kansas a deficiency judgment is allowed. When the bank accepts a short sale, they are agreeing to release the foreclosure and possible future judgements. If a mortgage lender forecloses on a property, they can attach a deficiency judgment. The Kansas City Real Estate Network can assist Kansas homeowners with a short sale.
If you have questions about a foreclosure, we recommend consulting an attorney.
How to stop a real estate foreclosure in Kansas ---> Stop Foreclosure Now!
Some common questions:
Q) When does the sheriff come to the door and evict the Kansas homeowner?
A) The sheriff will be sent to the home after foreclosure date and the redemption period are completed. This period is typically 90 days to 1 year after the sale date.
Q) Can a Kansas homeowner sell a home after foreclosure?
A) A Kansas homeowner can sell the property during the redemption period. Any amount over the redemptive quote can be kept by the homeowner.
Q) I have heard horror stories about delays in processing short sales in Kansas. Are they true?
A) Some of the horror stories are true. We have done so many short sales that we made a science of completing them. Most delays due to not completing the required paperwork in a timely matter. One lender told us that it takes the typical homeowner 60 days to complete and send in the proper paperwork. That is to long when the typical buyer wants to close within 45 days.
We do short sale in the following Kansas cities:
Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood, Prairie Village, Gardner, Merriam. Mission, Roeland Park, De Soto, Spring Hill, Fairway, Mission Hills, Edgerton, Westwood, Lake Quivira, Westwood Hills, Mission Woods, Louisburg, Paola, Hillsdale, Bonner Springs, Leavenworth, Lansing, Tonganoxie, Basehor, Piper, Linwood, and Kansas City.
