East Valley Short Sale: New FHA short refinance unlikely to help you
East Valley Team member Dean Ouellette talks about how some home owners will be hit up for a contribution from the PMI company when they think they don’t have any PMI.
So you purchased your East Valley home with a 80/20 loan so you would not have PMI. Now you need to sell your home and you find out the PMI company is asking for a cash contribution or a note for $10,000 to be signed. Why is that?
Well it turns out that investors who purchased your mortgage didn’t trust you so they purchased PMI for them. That is all well and good, and allowed, but that PMI company is not allowed to ask you for a contribution. Well they can, but they are not supposed to.
When they do this it is called 3rd party bad faith. The problem, even through you are right it is going to be more expensive to fight it than just pay it. I think this is going to end up leading to a class action law suite.
Who says you can't teach a rocket scientist new tricks. Since Kristin left her former profession for her new one she has built one of the fastest growing businesses in the East Valley. Kristin is known for her Youtube videos, make sure you check them out. 
After a long career in political consulting Dean transitioned to real estate and has not looked back. Dean is one of the sick ones who enjoys fighting with banks to get short sales approved and to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Dean also loves making videos on the subject.
Wow, this sounds like an ugly situation that just got a little uglier. It sounds like it will be a title problem that won’t let the seller sell unless it is cleared up?
If that is the case then it sounds kinda like extortion to me.
