Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Short Sales and Foreclosures…Its all Happening Here in Miami

                                               

 Today’s South Florida  real estate market presents opportunities for both the investor and homebuyer. 

 

As many of  us are aware, it is difficult to avoid the subject of short sales and foreclosures when discussing real estate in South Florida these days.  While those methods can present incredible opportunity for the purchase/investor, it is necessary to understand the legal aspects of such purchases.

           Short sales  are a pre-foreclosure arrangement with a lender, whereby they will allow an owner to sell a property for less than the amount of the current mortgage balance.  Up until recently, the short sale process has been a frustrating one.  Understaffed banks moved very slowly to approve these type of sales.  A new trend appears to be emerging however.  As the courts of Miami have been flooded with foreclosure actions, the time in which to adjudicate foreclosure matters has lengthened.  As such, the holding costs incurred by the banks with respect to the delinquent properties has increased.  In light of the increasing expenses incurred by lenders in the foreclosure process, banks have been building up their staff for the particular purpose of expediting the short-sale approval process.  The U.S. Treasury has also jumped on board to encourage the short sale by offering incentive payments of $1500 to the home-owner and $1000 to both loan servers and second-lien holders.  As with any investment, the investor must take special care to research his potential short sale purchase.  While a property may be approved as a short sale, do not jump to the conclusion that you are getting the deal of the century.  You must still do your homework to see what is happening with real estate values in that particular area.

               Foreclosures  occur when the mortgagee is unable to make its mortgage payments, and the mortgagor, through its security interest in the subject property, goes through a legal process which will give the mortgagee title to the property.  Once the mortgagee has title, the property will be auctioned and the mortgagee keeps the proceeds in order to recover its investment.  At a foreclosure auction, investors must arrive with certified funds(the equivalent of cash) for the total purchase price amount.  Investors have limited amounts of time to evaluate the property,  and usually can only see its exterior prior to the auction.  In addition, other liens and taxes may be attached to the property.  When considering this type of investment, the investor must understand these risks and consider an adjustment to the purchase price to account for these potential increases in the cost of the investment property.

                    The investment possibilities are endless right now in Miami.  With the right research regarding a property, you can buy for use or investment a property greatly under previous market values.  When making these kind of investments, take great care in choosing your realtor.  Make sure that the realtor understands the market, the rental values and the potential sales value of your property.  Also, as much as time allows, have research conducted to ascertain what potential liens may have attached to the subject property.  The more knowledge you have regarding a property, the more risk you take out of your investment.

Are you a bona fide tenant of a property in Miami, Aventura, Sunny Isles and other areas of South Florida going to foreclosure sale?

New requirements have been put in place also for South Florida Real Estate concerning notice that must be given to bona fide tenants/lessees (not former borrowers or their immediate family members) of properties that go to foreclosure sale after May 20, 2009.  

This law is in effect immediately.  Section 702 of the new law Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 is summarized below and it affects eviction/unlawful detainer law nationwide.  

1.   Tenant of a foreclosed property must now be given a 90 day notice to vacate.  The notice to vacate must set forth the rights of the tenant under the new act.  This portion of the new law applies to tenants on a month to month rental agreement, written or unwritten.    

2.  The lessee under a bona fide lease entered into before the notice of foreclosure was recorded is allowed to remain in the property until the end of the remaining term of the lease.  If you sell the property with the lessee in place, the new third party owner who intends to occupy the property as a primary residence may terminate the lease however the 90 day notice must be given by the third party owner.  An investor can also purchase these properties if they intend to honor the current lease.

3.  The bona fide lease or tenancy, for purposes of the new law, is considered bona fide only if:

        A. The borrower, child, spouse or parents of the borrower is not the tenant;
        B. The lease or tenancy was the result of an arms-length transaction; and
        C. Rent under the lease or tenancy is not “substantially” lower than fair market rent for the property unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a Federal, State or local subsidy.

This new law does not apply to property where the former owners remain in possession following the foreclosure sale.

If the occupant of a  condo or a home in  Aventura real estate, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, Hollywood or other areas in South Florida has a lease, every effort should be made to obtain a copy of the lease to determine the length of the lease period, the monthly rental and whether or not the lease may be terminable at will under the applicable State law. 

 If the property is occupied by a tenant under a month to month tenancy, a 90 day notice must be given. If it is an oral rental, copies of cancelled rent checks must be submitted.

The new law states that without a lease, the 90 day notice rule applies. 

Should the tenant refuse to provide a copy of a lease, the listing agent will assume there is no written lease and he/she will immediately contact their Eviction Representative.

 

 

This new legislation applies to single family homes and condos – whether oceanfront or not – in South Florida including but not restricted to Aventura, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, and Miami Beach, etc.
