HELOC Presents A Dilemma In Short Sales
Hey there, Steve Horn with shortsalesdoneeasy, Tempe short sale realtor. I just got done with a terrific buyer seminar over the weekend. We taught numerous people how to take advantage of the market by purchasing a short sale or foreclosure.
The theme that I would like to discuss with you today comes from an actual listing meeting a few days ago. These patrons have a first with EMC and a second with Chase. The second is really a home equity line of credit. The customers were wondering if Chase can take cash from their savings or checking account to fulfill the HELOC. In most instances, the bank can take money from your savings or checking account to fulfill deficiencies with your HELOC or mortgage.
We have seen this take place before with other patrons. When you choose to short sell your house, the lender has the right to take funds from your checking or savings account if you start missing payments. This can only transpire if your mortgage is with the same lender as your checking or savings account. Additionally, a home equity line of credit with the same lender as your checking and savings account can trigger the same problem.
There are many ways to overcome the challenges of a HELOC, if it were me, I would open a different savings and checking account with a different lender. We can reconcile HELOCs. It can be done prior to the short sale or after the short sale depending on the bank.
As short sales continue to intensify, the banks will continue to take money from your savings and checking accounts to help them alleviate their loss.
