New HAFA Changes!!!

Changing Short Sale Rules - The HAFA program has been a mixed bag, but last week the Treasury Dept. changed the rules to make short sales easier.

HAFA CURRENT CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the primary changes to HAFA:

- Those seeking a short sale must get an answer within 30 days
- Servicers are no longer required to verify a borrower's financial information
- Servicers are no longer required to determine if the debt-to-income exceeds 31%
- Second lien holders no longer must accept 6% of the unpaid balance - 
These changes should help expedite short sales, which will benefit home owners, realtors, investors and ultimately the banks.
