Frederick County REO: We distribute a separate list of the lender owned foreclosures in Frederick County, MD. If you are not on that list and wish to receive the reports, please contact us at roykelley@mris.com

WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN THE 2009 REAL ESTATE MARKET?

EVERYBODY IS HOPING TO PURCHASE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MARKET

We will not know that we have hit the bottom of the market until the prices start to rise. And, that can happen very quickly when the time comes. What we do know is that buyers have the largest selection at the lowest prices in several years and mortgage interest rates are at the lowest levels in decades. We do know that the bargains are in the inventory of lender owned foreclosures. We do know that the lender owned homes are going under contract at the rate of about 10 houses per day in Montgomery County. Currently, the REO properties are selling faster than the inventory is increasing. So, if the timing is right for you and you are planning to own your purchase for several years, we recommend that you take advantage of the buyer market this year.

Lenders are reducing the prices until the properties are under contract. A recent example is a 3 BR/3 BA single family REO at 3224 Park View Road, Chevy Chase, MD 20815. The lender reduced the price from $649,000 to $535,000. The 2009 tax assessment is $752,240. Is this a bargain?

Investors have learned to make offers on REO properties that have been on the market for some time. Some lenders will consign the homes to auction if they are not sold within six months. For example, one lender has asked us to seek offers on a condo that is scheduled to be consigned on February 25. They would rather have a direct sale than go to the expense of an auction. This 2 BR condo is 436 Girard Street #103, Villa Ridge, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 and the price was reduced to $79,900. Another lender responded by reducing the price of another unit in the same complex to $75,000. Price battles between lenders owners benefit smart buyers.

THERE ARE MORE FIX-UP PROPERTIES

With the large inventory of lender owned homes, there are more properties that need repairs or renovation. Most of the home owners that face foreclosure do not have the funds of normal maintenance and the updating that every house needs from time to time. So, purchasers of lender owned foreclosures find many of the best bargains also provide the challenge of funding the needed improvements. If you or a family member is seeking a fix-up situation, you should discuss the options of renovation financing with your loan officer when you get pre-approved. Excellent renovation financing is available. Many owner occupants purchasers use FHA 203 (k) which will cover the acquisition costs plus the improvements. One of our clients is scheduled for a settlement today on a lender owned property that needs total renovation. The 203 (k) consultant has provided complete cost estimates on everything that needs to be done to advise the buyer and support the financing. Since FHA financing is not available to investors, they need to use conventional renovation financing.

An example of the renovation bargains is the REO listing at 23312 Woodfield Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20882. This 5 BR/3 BA single family home is priced at $213,000. It has 1,546 sf of living area and a detached 440 sf garage. The lot size is 20,283 sf. It sold for $415,000 in 2005. Why is it priced so low? It has mold.

FIRST TIME BUYERS HAVE MUCH AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE WITH MORTGAGE FINANCING

FHA has become the preferred purchase money mortgage financing for many first time buyers. The minimum cash requirement is 3.5% and family assistance is allowed. Contracts can be structured to have the seller pay the closing costs. The $7,500 federal tax credit is available and may be improved with currently pending legislation. In Montgomery County, the Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC) is offering financing for moderate income families. Frederick County also has several special programs to assist buyers with cash requirements.

The Lieberman/Isakson Amendment was included in the senate version of the Economic Stimulus Bill by a unanimous voice vote. This amendment would provide a Tax Credit to all home buyers at the rate of 10% of the sales price up to a limit of $15,000. The credit would be available for a one year period to all purchasers of primary residences

Home buyers may qualify for the Countrywide Home Loans $3,000 Express Grant depending on their income and property location. Currently the Grant is available from Countrywide until March 31, 2009. There are two ways a buyer can qualify for the Grant. The first is the income qualification for low to moderate income limits. These limits do vary from county to county but for example a person/couple buying in Montgomery, Frederick or Prince George's counties can get a $3,000 grant with income below $52,000. They can get a $1,500 grant with income up to $83,000. The second option for grant qualification is by property location. The property must be identified to determine eligibility. If eligible, another $1,500 grant is available. Total grant available per buyer is $3,000. The grant does not have to be repaid and is not a loan. One of the loan officers offering this assistance is Joanne Blum. cell 301-943-6567.

LENDER OWNED FORECLOSURES (REO)

We provide client reports on the lender owned homes that are available for purchase and we represent buyer clients as their exclusive agents. If you decide to us another agent, you will want to be sure that your agent has experience in the REO sector. All buyers should obtain pre-approval for mortgage financing before submitting an offer. The sellers require a lender letter with the contracts. Investors with outstanding mortgage loans on four of more properties are finding more limited access to investor financing. Ask us for a referral to a loan officer if you do not have a personal relationship with your prospective lender.

Please contact us with your real estate questions. We will always appreciate your referrals!

MARYLAND TAX ASSESSMENT APPEALS

HOME OWNERS UPSET WITH HIGH REAL ESTATE TAX ASSESSMENTS

Many home owners think their real estate tax assessments are too high. The Sunday Washington Post has a major article on this subject. On line appeals may be made at www.dat.state.md.us

The following wording is from the official website:

THE ASSESSMENT APPEAL PROCESS IN MARYLAND

Property owners sometimes feel that the department's estimate of their property value is wrong. The assessment appeal process is available to allow property owners the opportunity to dispute the value determined by the department. Property values rise and fall to reflect the market. A property owner should file an appeal when they believe that their property is not valued at its current market value.
Appeals may be filed on three occasions:
upon receipt of an assessment notice;
by a petition for review; and
upon purchase of property between January 1 and June 30.

APPEAL ON REASSESSMENT

Property owners will normally receive a Notice of Assessment every three years that shows the old market value as well as the new market value. The new value reflects the market influence and other conditions affecting the property from the time of the last assessment.
If you decide to appeal, the first step is to reply to the Notice of Assessment by signing and returning the appeal form within 45 days of the date of the notice. Following this, a personal or telephone hearing will be scheduled. Appeals can also be made in writing, eliminating the need for a hearing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW

If events have occurred since your last regular assessment that you believe have caused your property value to decline or if you failed to respond to the Notice of Assessment within the required time frame, you may file for a petition for review by January 1 of any year. Click here to obtain a Petition form. The completed form should be mailed to your local assessment office. After filing the petition, you will be scheduled for a hearing; or, if you prefer, your written submission can be reviewed eliminating the need for a hearing.

APPEAL UPON PURCHASE

If you purchase a property and the property is transferred after January 1 but before July 1, you may file an appeal within 60 days of the transfer. After filing a written appeal, you will be scheduled for a hearing; or, if you prefer, your written appeal can be reviewed instead of having a hearing.

FIRST STEP - SUPERVISOR'S LEVEL

The first level of the appeal process, known as the Supervisor's level, is informal. You will present your case to an assessor designated by the Supervisor of Assessments. Typically, hearings at this level take approximately 15 minutes.
You can obtain a copy of the worksheet for the property free of charge from your local assessment office. The information on the worksheet will be reviewed at the time of the hearing to assure its accuracy.
For assistance in estimating the value of your property, you can obtain sales data from various sources, including: sales listings located in the local assessment office; commercially available sales reports and other information available at local libraries; local Real Estate offices; personal surveys of recently sold comparable properties in the area; and local listings of sales transactions in the newspaper. For a nominal fee, worksheets of comparable properties may be obtained from the assessment office.
To be most effective, you should:
Focus on those points that affect the value of your property.
Indicate why the Total New Market Value does not reflect the market value of the property.
Identify any mathematical errors on the worksheet or inaccurate information describing the characteristics of the property (such as the number of bathrooms, fireplaces, etc.).
Provide examples of sales of comparable properties which support your findings as to the value of the property.
Avoid the following issues since they are not relevant to the value under appeal: comparison to past values, percent of increase, additional metropolitan costs, the amount of the tax bill, properties in other taxing jurisdictions, and services rendered or not rendered.
Your first level hearing should be viewed as an opportunity to present evidence which would indicate that the department's value of the property is inaccurate.

SECOND STEP - PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT APPEAL BOARD

Following the hearing, you will receive a final notice. If you disagree with the decision, you can appeal to the next step which is to the Property Tax Assessment Appeal Board. The second step appeal must be filed within 30 days from the date of the final notice from the Supervisor of Assessments.
There is an independent appeal board comprised of 3 local residents in each of the counties and Baltimore City. Property owners generally need no assistance at this step, no fees are required, and they are free to present any supporting evidence. You can obtain a list of the comparable properties that will be used by the assessment office before the Board if you file a written request to the assessment office at least 15 days before the scheduled date of the hearing.

THIRD STEP - MARYLAND TAX COURT

If you are dissatisfied with the decision made by the Appeal Board, you can file an appeal within 30 days of the date of the board's decision to the Maryland Tax Court. The Maryland Tax Court is an independent body appointed by the Governor. Although the proceedings are more formal than the first 2 levels, it is still considered to be an informal, administrative hearing. Property owners who are in disagreement with the Tax Court's decision can appeal further through the regular judiciary system. Here you will probably need legal counsel.

RECAP

The assessment appeal process is a mechanism intended to assure an accurate property valuation. If you believe that the value placed upon your property is higher than it should be and if you can provide supporting evidence (such as sales information for properties comparable to your own), then it is in your best interest to appeal.

Renovation Financing for REO Homes

Renovation Financing for REO Homes

As REO agents, we see hundreds of homes that need repairs or improvements. When homes go through the foreclosure process, most of the owners do not have the funds to cover normal maintenance needs or carpet and appliance replacements.

These properties can present wonderful purchase opportunities. Rather than purchase a home that has been fixed up by the seller with different tastes in paint color, carpet and appliance selection, why not purchase a REO home that needs some work and fix it up just the way you want it for your own comfort and pleasure.

Financing lender owned home with deferred maintenance is easier when the lender has loan products that will cover needed renovation financing.

The following details the requirements and use of the FHA Streamlined 203 (k) product that can meet the needs of many purchasers. We have found that most of the time REO property repairs that are needed amount to a cost less than $35,000 if the buyer is diligent with planning. Not all lenders offer this type of financing, so if you need this type of assistance ask your REALTOR for a lender referral.

FHA Streamlined 203(k)
Limited Repair Program

FHA's Streamlined 203(k) program permits homebuyers to finance up to an additional $35,000 into their mortgage to improve or upgrade their home before move-in. With this new product, homebuyers can quickly and easily tap into cash to pay for property repairs or improvements, such as those identified by a home inspector or FHA appraiser.
MORTGAGEE LETTER 2005-50
December 29, 2005
SUBJECT: Enhancements to “Streamlined (k)” Limited Repair Program
Mortgagee Letter 2005-19 (ML 05-19) announced the Streamlined (k) Limited Repair Program to augment FHA’s existing Section 203(k) rehabilitation program for less extensive repairs and improvement. This Mortgagee Letter replaces in its entirety ML 05-19 and is designed to make the program more reflective of the desire of many homebuyers and existing homeowners to improve their homes including making them more energy efficient.
This Mortgagee Letter contains important changes to the Streamlined (k) program described in Mortgagee Letter 2005-19, including:
· Additional eligible work items, including lead-based paint stabilization.
· Increased maximum mortgage amount for repair or rehabilitation costs from $15,000 to $35,000.
· Elimination of minimum repair cost threshold.
Like the regular Section 203(k) rehabilitation loan program, Streamlined (k) is available for use in conjunction with other Departmental programs and activities. This Mortgagee Letter introduces some procedural requirements applicable only to Streamlined (k) – including:
· The availability of Streamlined (k) to pay for lead-based paint stabilization costs above and beyond that paid for by HUD when it sells real estate owned (REO).
· The option (rather than a requirement) for the mortgagee to establish a contingency reserve of rehabilitation loan proceeds.
In addition, like the regular Section 203(k) program, Streamlined (k) is available:
· To augment an FHA Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM),
· To insure the mortgage on a single-family housing unit sold from the HUD’s REO inventory
· To insure a mortgage that covers both repairs costs and the refinance of an existing mortgage.
What improvements are eligible under the new Streamlined (k) program?
The Streamlined (k) program is intended to facilitate uncomplicated rehabilitation and/or improvements to a home for which plans, consultants, engineers and/or architects are not required. The Streamlined (k) program includes the discretionary improvements and/or repairs shown below:
· Repair/Replacement of roofs, gutters and downspouts
· Repair/Replacement/upgrade of existing HVAC systems
· Repair/Replacement/upgrade of plumbing and electrical systems
· Repair/Replacement of flooring
· Minor remodeling, such as kitchens, which does not involve structural repairs
· Painting, both exterior and interior
· Weatherization, including storm windows and doors, insulation, weather stripping, etc.
· Purchase and installation of appliances, including free-standing ranges, refrigerators, washers/dryers, dishwashers and microwave ovens
· Accessibility improvements for persons with disabilities
· Lead-based paint stabilization or abatement of lead-based paint hazards
· Repair/replace/add exterior decks, patios, porches
· Basement finishing and remodeling, which does not involve structural repairs
· Basement waterproofing
· Window and door replacements and exterior wall re-siding
· Septic system and/or well repair or replacement
What are the minimum and maximum amounts for repair costs under this program?
Given the need for homeowners to make minor repairs without exhausting personal savings, and in consideration of the increasing cost of materials, the minimum repair cost of $5,000 is eliminated and the ceiling is now raised to $35,000. This revised maximum repair/rehabilitation amount recognizes the cost of making older homes more energy efficient. Note that as described below, when the repairs exceed $15,000, the mortgagee must perform or obtain an inspection to determine that all listed repairs were completed.
Can this program be used for repairs and improvements on purchases of HUD Homes?
Like the regular Section 203(k) program, Streamlined (k) may be used for single-family housing sold by HUD. REO properties that have been designated by FHA’s Management and Marketing contractor (M&M) as “insurable” with repair escrow ($5,000 or less in required repairs) or “uninsurable” (with more than $5,000 but no more than $35,000 in required repairs) are eligible for the Streamlined (k) program provided that the repairs qualify as eligible work items outlined in this Mortgagee Letter.
What if the REO property requires lead-based paint stabilization?
The Streamlined (k) program may be used for the financing of REO purchases where a pre-1978 property has been determined to contain lead-based paint and the M&M Contractor has completed a stabilization plan and cost estimate to stabilize (mitigate) the deteriorated paint. The purchaser must sign a 203(k) rehabilitation financing lead agreement requiring that a clearance examination and report be included in the work write-up and conducted before release of the final construction disbursement and before occupancy. The credit from HUD, received at sales closing by the purchaser, associated with the lead-based paint stabilization plan is not included in the $35,000 Streamlined (k) limit. The Streamlined (k) program may be used for all eligible repair items as shown above, including the cost of lead-based paint stabilization not paid for by HUD when it sells a property requiring lead-based paint stabilization. A state- or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified lead-based paint inspector, certified risk assessor or sampling technician, must perform the clearance examination.
When the Department sells a single-family REO property, the M&M Contractor determines whether repairs are necessary to stabilize any lead-based paint. HUD’s regulations for pre-1978 housing require the stabilization of paint except for paint determined not to be lead-based paint. HUD may reduce the sales price by the amount of a credit equal to the Department’s contribution toward the cost of lead-based paint stabilization. Any lead-based paint stabilization costs in excess of this credit become the responsibility of the purchaser.
Can the Streamlined (k) program be used for refinancing the mortgage?
The Streamlined (k) program is also available for mortgage refinance transactions including those where the property is owned free-and clear. Only credit-qualifying “no cash out” refinance transactions with an appraisal are eligible for the Streamlined (k) program. The form HUD-92700 provides instructions for calculating the maximum mortgage permitted for Streamlined (k) loans for purchase and refinance transactions.
If the borrower has owned the property for less than a year, the acquisition cost must be used to determine the maximum mortgage amount. The requirement to use the lowest sales price within the last year does not apply to the Streamlined (k) program.
What are the appraisal requirements under the Streamlined (k) program?
The Streamlined (k) program may be used for discretionary repairs and/or improvements that may not have been identified in the course of a pre-purchase inspection or appraisal. The mortgagee must provide the appraiser with information regarding the proposed rehabilitation or improvements and all cost estimates so that an after-improved value can be estimated. A description of the proposed repairs and/or improvement must be included in the appraisal report as well as the contractor’s cost estimate. The appraiser is to indicate in the reconciliation section of the appraisal report an after-improved value subject to completion of the proposed repairs and/or improvements.
What are the mortgagee’s requirements for examining the contractor bids? For paying the contractor prior to beginning construction? For inspections of the work?
· Contractor bids: While mortgagees are not contractors, participation in this program requires that they examine the contractor’s bid(s) and determine that they fall within the usual and customary range for similar work. Mortgagees must also ensure that the selected contractor(s) meet all jurisdictional licensing and bonding requirements.
· Payments in advance of construction: The mortgagee—at its discretion—may provide the contractor with up to 50 percent of the estimated cost of any work item prior to beginning construction. Such payments should only be made where the mortgagee is satisfied with the reputation of the contractor(s) and the contractor is not willing or able to defer receipt of payment until completion of the work or the payment represents the cost of materials incurred prior to construction.
· Payments for Inspections:
o For repair costs not exceeding $15,000, the mortgagee is not required to perform, or have others perform, inspections of the completed work. However, the mortgagee may choose to obtain or perform inspections if it believes such actions are necessary for program compliance and/or risk mitigation. Mortgagees may also ensure that the repairs and/or improvements have been completed by obtaining contractor’s receipts or by a signed Mortgagor’s Letter of Completion. If the mortgagee determines that an inspection(s) by a third party is necessary to ensure proper completion of the proposed repair or improvement item, the mortgagee may charge the borrower for the costs of no more than two inspections per each contractor.
o For repairs in excess of $15,000, the mortgagee must perform or obtain an inspection of the completed work by a third party.
What are the mortgagor’s requirements for selecting the contractor? And what are the mortgagee’s requirements for review of the contractor and the rehabilitation proposal?
The mortgagor must use one or more contractors to complete the repairs. “Self-help” arrangements, in which the mortgagor performs the work, are not to be approved unless the mortgagor can sufficiently demonstrate that he or she has the necessary expertise and experience to perform the work competently (e.g., mortgagor is an electrician and will perform electrical repairs/upgrades to the property).
The mortgagor will select the contractor(s) who will provide estimates for work to be done. The mortgagee reviews the mortgagor’s proposed work plan and cost estimates to ensure the planned work meets all program and repair recommendations as noted on the appraisal report. The mortgagor must provide the mortgagee with a written cost estimate(s) and references from a duly licensed and bonded contractor(s) for each specialized repair or improvement. If “self-help” arrangements are utilized, the mortgagor must provide written estimates from the suppliers of the materials. Those repairs and improvements must meet any local codes and ordinances and the mortgagor and/or contractor must obtain all required permits prior to the commencement of work.
The cost estimate(s) must clearly state the nature and type of repair and the cost for completion of the work item and must be made even if the mortgagor is performing some or all of the work under a self-help arrangement. The mortgagee must review the contractor’s credentials, work experience and client references and may require the mortgagor to provide additional cost estimates if necessary. After review, the selected contractor(s) must agree in writing to complete the work for the amount of the cost estimate and within the allotted time frame. A copy of the contractor’s cost estimate(s) and the Homeowner/Contractor Agreement(s) must be placed in the insuring binder. The contractor must finish the work in accordance with the written estimate and Homeowner/Contractor Agreement and any approved change order. As in the regular 203(k) program, the Rehabilitation Construction Period begins when the mortgage loan is closed.
What are the mortgagee’s requirements for paying contractors?
No more than two payments may be made to each contractor, or to the mortgagor if the mortgagor is performing the work under a self-help arrangement. The first payment is intended to defray material costs and shall not be more than 50% of the estimated costs of all repairs/improvements. When permits are required, those fees may be reimbursed to the contractor at closing. The final payment to the contractor will be made following completion of all work and release of any and all liens arising out of the contract or submission of receipts or other evidence of payment covering all subcontractors or suppliers who could file a legal claim. When necessary, the mortgagee may arrange a payment schedule, not to exceed two (2) releases, per specialized contractor (an initial release plus a final release.) Mortgagees are to issue payments solely to the contractor, except if the mortgagor is performing the work under a self-help arrangement, in which case the mortgagor may be reimbursed for materials purchased in accordance with the previously obtained estimates; the mortgagor may not be compensated for his or her labor.
To eliminate the need and cost for an inspection of the completed repair(s) or improvement(s) when not exceeding $15,000, the mortgagee may accept receipts or proof of completion of the work to the homeowner’s satisfaction from the contractor. Before a final release is made, the mortgagor must sign a statement acknowledging that the work has been completed in a professional and satisfactory manner.
May the mortgagee establish a Contingency Reserve?
The Streamlined (k) program does not mandate a contingency reserve be established. However, at the mortgagee’s discretion a contingency reserve account may be set up for administering the loan. Funds held back in contingency reserve must be used solely to pay for the proposed repairs or improvements and any unforeseen items related to these repair items. Any unspent funds remaining after the final work item payment(s) is made, must be applied to the mortgage principal.
Is there a maximum mortgage amount worksheet that must be used?
Form HUD-92700, 203(k) Maximum Mortgage Worksheet must be used to calculate the mortgage amount. Also, the appraiser must provide an after-improved value since 110% of that amount is used in calculating the maximum mortgage. Architectural and consultant fees, line items 6 and 7 of Section B of the worksheet are not applicable to the Streamlined (k) program. For Item 3 of Section D, please refer to handbook HUD-4155.1 REV-5, paragraph 1-7 which provides the various maximum loan-to-value ratios.
Expenses that may be included in the total amount of the improvements, not to exceed the $35,000 limit, are inspection fees, building and other permits, the supplemental origination fee, title update costs and the amount of any contingency reserve required by the mortgagee.
Can we combine the Streamlined (k) with an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM)?
The EEM program, as described in ML 05-21, may be used in conjunction with the Streamlined (k) program. The amounts permissible under the EEM program—as well as the qualifying requirements—are in addition to those available under the Streamlined (k) program and, thus, combined may exceed the $35,000 Streamlined (k) repair cost limit. Both the cost of EEM improvements as well as weatherization items (not to exceed $2,000) may be added to the total FHA loan amount.
What are the “closeout requirements” under the Streamlined (k) program?
The mortgagee electronically certifies the closeout via the FHA Connection and is not required to forward the closeout documents to FHA. As with all FHA case binders, the originator must retain the file, either in hard copy or electronic format, for two years following endorsement of the mortgage. Proper close-out means that the mortgagee has certified that it has reviewed and verified for accuracy of the following without limitations: mortgagor’s acknowledgement of satisfactory completion, evidence of release of lien(s), mortgagee’s inspection report(s), change orders, mortgagee accounting of the escrow funds, and record of disbursements.
Are there specific data entry requirements under the Streamlined (k) program?
The mortgagee must enter “203KS” in the 203(k) Consultant ID field in the
Case Number Assignment Screen (and the Insurance Application Screen) to identify the Streamlined (k) product and enter the amount of the repairs in the Repair Escrow Amount field in the Insurance Application Screen. In the event that the mortgagee had originally begun processing the case as a purchase mortgage without repairs, the mortgagee should update the existing case data in the Case Number Assignment screen, changing the ADP Code to a valid 203(k) ADP Code and the Construction Code to Substantial Rehabilitation.
If the Streamlined (k) mortgage is for a refinance transaction, please enter “substantial rehabilitation” in the drop down screen labeled “Construction Code” and “Not Streamlined” (the refinance type) in the drop down screen labeled “All Refinances” in the Case Number Assignment Screen in FHA Connection.
What items remain ineligible for the Streamlined (k) program?
Properties that require the following work items are not eligible for financing under the Streamlined (k):
· Major rehabilitation or major remodeling, such as the relocation of a load-bearing wall;
· New construction (including room additions);
· Repair of structural damage;
· Repairs requiring detailed drawings or architectural exhibits;
· Landscaping or similar site amenity improvements;
· Any repair or improvement requiring a work schedule longer than six (6) months; or
· Rehabilitation activities that require more than two (2) payments per specialized contractor.
Mortgagors may not use the Streamlined (k) program to finance any required repairs arising from the appraisal that do not appear on the list of Streamlined (k) Eligible Work Items or that would:
· Necessitate a “consultant” to develop a “Specification of Repairs/Work Write-Up”;
· Require plans or architectural exhibits;
· Require a plan reviewer;
· Require more than six months to complete;
· Result in work not starting within 30 days after loan closing; or
· Cause the mortgagor to be displaced from the property for more than 30 days during the time the rehabilitation work is being conducted. (FHA anticipates that, in a typical case, the mortgagor would be able to occupy the property after mortgage loan closing).

New Maryland Foreclosure Process

The continued surge of foreclosures in Maryland has brought about new legislation. This will delay residential foreclosures and is an attempt to reduce the mortgage fraud in the market.

New Maryland Foreclosure Process
Governor O'Malley Signs Emergency Legislation to Protect Homeownership
Foreclosure Law Summary

SB 216/HB 365 – Foreclosure Process

Requires a mortgage or other security instrument on residential property to contain the license number of a mortgage originator or mortgage lender.
This provision would allow regulators to track which mortgage providers have the highest foreclosure and default rates.

Prohibits filing an action to foreclose on residential property until the later of:
90 days after default
45 days after the “Notice of Intent to Foreclose” (Notice) is sent

Prohibits the foreclosure sale from taking place sooner than 45 days after the service of process containing the Notice. This means that a foreclosure sale could not occur sooner than 135 days after default.

Requires the Notice to be sent to the mortgagor and record owner at least 45 days before filing an action to foreclose.

Requires the Notice to include information regarding the security instrument, including the debt due, the rights of the individual facing foreclosure (including the right to seek housing counseling or consult with a real estate licensee). The Notice encourages the person in default to act quickly.

Gives the person in default the ability to cure the default by paying all past due amounts and reinstate the loan up to 1 business day before the foreclosure sale.

This act is an emergency measure which takes effect April 3, 2008.

SB 217/HB 360 – Mortgage Fraud Protection

Allows the seizure of any property used in connection with mortgage fraud or gained through mortgage fraud.

Establishes certain defenses against forfeiture for innocent owners, tenants, and property used as a principal residence.

Defines mortgage fraud as any person intending to defraud by:
knowingly making misstatements, misrepresentations, or omissions during the mortgage lending process knowingly using any deliberate misstatements etc. receiving funds from a mortgage closing that resulted from fraud filing in the land records any document that the person knows to contain deliberate misstatements etc.

Establishes criminal and civil penalties, including criminal penalties of up to $100,000 or imprisonment up to 20 years for a person engaged in a pattern of mortgage fraud. Establishes criminal penalties of up to $5,000 or imprisonment of up to 10 years for a single violation.

This act is an emergency measure which takes effect April 3, 2008.

SB 218/HB 361 – Prohibition on Certain Foreclosure Transactions

Establishes requirements for a foreclosure consultant

Requires a foreclosure consulting contract to include a notice that the foreclosure consultant must provide the homeowner with written copies of information regarding the value of the homeowner’s property, including comparables or appraisals.

In addition to duties already prescribed under law, this bill adds additional requirements for foreclosure consultants, including:

Giving a homeowner a notice containing information regarding the financial details of the deal, the right to rescind the contract, and other information.

Limiting the amount of commission a foreclosure consultant can make to 8% or less of the sales price

Prohibiting the consultant from holding money in escrow or on a contingency basis on behalf of the homeowner

Mandating a foreclosure consultant engaged in real estate activity to hold a real estate license

Imposing a duty, similar to the fiduciary duties of real estate agents, on foreclosure consultants not engaged directly in real estate transactions
Requires a “Notice to Homeowner” to be included in any foreclosure contract that sells the property, and that also gives the homeowner a 5 day rescission period of the real estate contract. The notice is basically the same notice required under current law.

Establishes that a real estate licensee is NOT a foreclosure consultant as long as the licensee is:

Engaged in an activity for which they are licensed
D
oes not engage in prohibited foreclosure consulting activities

And, if working with a property in default, that the property in default is listed in the MLS, and is transferred through a settlement

Gives a homeowner whose property has been in default for more than 60 days, a 5 day rescission period after entering into a contract to the sell the property.

Prohibits purchasers of residences that have been in default for more than 60 days, from certain activities, including:

Representing that the purchaser is acting as an advisor or consultant on behalf of the homeowner

Representing that the purchaser has licensing or accreditation that the purchaser does not have

Representing that the purchaser is assisting the homeowner to “save the house” or substantially similar phrasing

Representing that the purchaser is assisting the homeowner in preventing a foreclosure if the result of the transaction is that the homeowner will no longer own the property

Making any false, deceptive or misleading statements regarding the value of the home or the amount of the proceeds the homeowner will realize

Recording any document before expiration of the 5 day rescission period

Requires purchasers to give a “State of Tenancy” if a tenancy agreement is included in the sale of contract for a residence in default.

This act is an emergency measure which takes effect April 3, 2008.

Montgomery County, MD Real Estate Tax Disclosure

In Montgomery County, Maryland, sellers and their agents have quoted the current real estate tax figures when providing information to prospective purchasers.

Now the rules have changed and the county is requiring full disclosure of the estimated real estate taxes for the new owners.

Montgomery County, MD - Disclosure - Property Tax Effective April 1, 2008: Effective April 1, 2008, a new law in Montgomery County, MD is in effect. The purpose of this new law is to provide the buyer of an owner-occupied principal residential property an estimate of the property tax bill (plus non-tax charges included on the bill) in the first full fiscal year of ownership. For more detail regarding this law: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/apps/OCP/Tax/Explanation.asp
To assist sellers and buyers and their real estate professionals in Montgomery County, the County’s Office of Consumer Protection, has developed an online “calculator” that determines the approximate property tax and other non-tax charges that a new homeowner would pay on a property during the first full year of ownership. The calculator is located at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/estimatedtax . By entering the address of any residence, the approximate tax obligation of a potential new homeowner is provided.
