Ditech Short Sale

We just completed a Ditech / GMAC short sale with first and second mortgage.   

Quick Facts

Hardship: Employment

Days for Approval: 30

Amount Forgiven: ~$100,000

If you obtained your mortgage through Ditech then your mortgage is pretty much handled by GMAC. 

Here's a sample Ditech/ GMAC Mortgage short sale approval letter for first trust.  It's a clean letter with GMAC stating tax consequences (1099) on page 3. 

Here's an approval letter for Ditech second trust.  This too mentions the tax consequences on page 2.

GMAC Equator System

Currently Bank of America and GMAC employ Equator.com platform to facilitate their short sales.  Soon, Wells Fargo will be using Equator as well starting with their investor loans.  This post is actually more for agents or negotiators versus borrowers.   Here's  a GMAC Equator manual you can download for reference.  GMAC Equator Manual for Agents

Although Bank of America and GMAC use equator, process for these banks are different.  With Bank of America, the negotiator/agent initiates the short sale.  With GMAC, you wait until GMAC initiates for you.

So far Bank of America has been noticeably quicker with approval process with Equator.  GMAC has always been relatively quick compared to other banks.  Anyway, this post was for agents/negotiator so I hope you find this post helpful. 

Contact us if you have any questions concerning short sale with Bank of America, Wells Fargo, GMAC or any other bank.

GMAC Short Sale Approval

We just closed another GMAC short sale.  This property had 2 mortgages both with GMAC.  GMAC is one of the easiest banks to work with in my opinion.  So far I have never had any issues with GMAC short sale in terms of getting the debt forgiven.  However, we do know that the decision is ultimately made by the investor.  Here in this case, the investor who I will keep anonymous never forgives any debt but rather releases the liens only.  I have been told my the negotiator couple investors who do this with all their short sales.  If you have a similar experience, call me and we can compare notes. Here's some facts concerning this short sale:

1. Approval timeframe: 40 calender days

Most GMAC short sales take little over a month and sometimes up to 2 months depending on the situation. 

2. Amount Forgiven

In this case, the loan is not being forgiven but GMAC or the investor is dealing with ~150k loss.

3. Hardship reason is loss of income.

Here's the GMAC first mortgage short sale or lien release letter.

GMAC along with Bank of American is using equator to facilitate their short sales.  If you have a mortgage with GMAC and you are considering a short sale, feel free to call me at 703-662-1466.  Or you can email me here.  I have been involved in more than dozen GMAC / Homecomings short sales and I know their system very well.

 

Here's the GMAC second mortgage short sale or lien release letter.

GMAC / Homecomings Financial Short Sale Demand or "Approval" Letters

Here's few short sale demand / "approval" letters.  Homecomings or GMAC are the same company. One is a recent one and the others are from last year.  If you have Homecomings Financial or GMAC mortgage and you are considering a short sale, contact us for a private consultation.  You can call us at 703-401-0571 or email us.  Even if your property is not in Virgina, we'll gladly refer a short sale specialist in your area. 

Here's a case with GMAC being first trust and another bank being second.  GMAC is giving $3,000 to junior line.  No mention of deficiency judgment which we requested when the short sale package was submitted.  An attorney reviewed the letter and gave his approval.

Here's another short sale demand / "approval" letter from last year.  Here, Homecomings is the first and second mortgage.  The sellers did not miss any payments.  Homecomings agreed to the short sale by accepting $10,000 from sellers.  

Here's the Homecomings Financial as the second trust. 

Hopefully these GMAC / Homecomings Financial demand / short sale letters help. If you have Homecomings Financial or GMAC mortgage and you are considering a short sale, contact us for a private consultation.  You can call us at 703-401-0571 or email us.  Even if your property is not in Virgina, we'll gladly refer a short sale specialist in your area.

GMAC Short Sale Approval Letter

Here's a GMAC short sale approval letter.  This is a short sale that just recently closed.  It's a decent approval letter.  If you look on the second page at the bottom, you will see this language:

A "Short" or "Negotiated" Payoff of your mortgage loan may have tax consequences.  To determine if, or to what extent, you have any tax liablities, you are enouraged to consult a tax professional.

This is far better than many of Bank of America's approval letters stating that they reserve the right to pursue deficieny judgement.

The other big plus in this approval letter is how much GMAC is giving to junior lien.  Typically we see $3,000 to junior lien but here they are giving $15,400 which was the 10% balance that the junior lien (United Bank) wanted.  This is a rarity. 

Each short sale is different due to seller's situation, bank, investor/MI company, etc..  If you prepare in advance and know the tricks of the trade, you can increase the likely to get a favorable approval letter.  Here's the actual short sale approval letter from GMAC.

If your mortgage is with GMAC and you are considering doing a short sale, you can email me or call me at 703-401-0571.
