To Loan Mod or Not is a Business Decision based on Net Present Value (NPV)

By -
I remember having this discussion with a banker at Real Estate Blogging
event about 4 years ago, saying the banks should publicize their
spreadsheets for determine an accept or reject calculation based on NPV.
Back then short sales succeeded about 20% of the time unlike the 60% success
rate of today. If you know you'll get a reject, you won't waste your time
asking for a loan mod.

It was interesting to see this headline today at DS news:

Treasury has launched a Web-based tool that allows homeowners themselves to
conduct a net present value (NPV) assessment of their mortgage. Under the
Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), servicers perform an NPV test
to determine if modification is a more financially sound route to take than
allowing the loan to proceed to foreclosure. Treasury is encouraging both
homeowners who have been denied a HAMP mod and those considering applying
for the program to use the new online calculator and share the results with
their servicer.

  it's definitely worth being concerned about encroachments, especially in situations where someone is using a small portion of their neighbor's property without permission. Even if the neighbor is currently okay with it, there's no guarantee that they'll continue to be permissive in the future. It's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed prior to close of escrow. This is where property easements come into play, as they provide legal permission for someone to use a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose. It's important to understand the details of any easements that may be relevant to your situation, as they can impact your rights and obligations as a...
