Foreclosure disclosures
There are a number of foreclosure deals happening everyday and while
some are profitable, the others go bad. A deal can go bad if the investor
acts unethical or if the seller does not understand the deal and later
regrets the decision after seeing the investor make a profit on the deal.
Thanks to a few bad foreclosure investors, there is today a lot of media
attention on foreclosures. So if you are an investor, it is very essential
to ensure proper paperwork and documentation or it won't take a
lawyer too much trouble to convince the jury that you swindled the
seller.
All that is needed to be done to protect yourself to make sure that the
seller is educated about the deal and to explain things better and simpler
so that the seller is completely aware of what he is agreeing to and has
realistic expectations about the foreclosure. And so if you tightly word
your foreclosure agreement, then you take away any ammunition a
lawyer may have.
The foreclosure disclosures may be added to the purchase agreement
or as a separate disclosure form in addition to the usual purchase form.
Usually, a transaction includes disclosures on affiliations, agency
relationship, right to inspection, terms of the note, planned unit
development, tax exemptions, mandatory homeowners association,
mortgage broker agreement and fees, right to a copy of the appraisal
and so on. While most disclosures are simple and straightforward, some
disclosure tend not to clarify but to confuse.
While most agents ensure that they have the right signatures on the
dotted lines, consumers often fail to grasp the essence of the
disclosures. One reason could be the hurry to get the agreement done.
Slowing down the process will in the long run be beneficial as both the
seller and the buyer grasp the complete intricacies of the agreement and
get educated about the disclosures.
Some of the disclosures that can be done would be, to get certain
basics clarified like, whether the seller is planning to vacate the property
and if so when, whether the seller or the buyer want the document
reviewed by their attorneys, to ensure that any translated documents
are accurately transacted, including written disclosures to ensure the
parties to the agreement understand the agreement, among others.
