Is the real estate course offered by Bank Foreclosures Direct worth the money? I attended a seminar held by Bank Foreclosures Direct recently. However, the cost of the course is $1500, and they were not fourth coming with any guarantee. The information they claim to provide sounds incredibly useful, but I have not had much luck finding anything about the company online or through the BBB. Has anyone that attended the course found the information useful and would you recommend spending the money? Did the instructor offer more programs or mentoring at an additional cost? I am not interested in spending additional money beyond the cost of the program. Because I have not been able to find a BBB rating, I am apprehensive about spending the money on the program.

I have time, however, I do not have money to waste on a program that does not work. Thanks for the input.

Trust Account Question Concerning Bank Foreclosures? My mother has $100k in a CD, she also has 3 other CDs in the same bank (Wachovia) for a total of approx $60k. The CDs are in a trust account bearing my brother's and my name. Q: Because it is a trust acct under 2 people's names does the $100k FDIC rule apply here (meaning she's covered under FDIC for the full $160k)? Or is it considered just 1 name ("trust") and therefore she should get out the $60k ASAP and put it in another bank. Wachovia seems to be in trouble and I don't want to see her lose $60k (even tho she'd get a penalty for early withdrawal as these CD's don't mature till November 2008). TY for responding.

Tampa FL Foreclosures at Courthouse $100 Bank bids ? This is specific to Tampa FL- courthouse home auction- why do banks have to bid on props they already have foreclosed on?

How late do you have to be on your mortgage payments before a bank will start foreclosure procedings? My sister, a nurse, is off work due to a broken leg and her husband (deadbeat) quit his job just a couple of days after she got hurt and hasn't gotten a new one in the last 5 weeks. She doesn't have sick leave or temporary disability insurance. She missed this month's mortgage payment. She will probably be off work another 4-6 weeks if her leg heals okay. So that means missing at least a second and maybe a third payment. But her doctor worries with the type of fracture she had that it may rebreak after she gets the cast off and tries to walk on it with even a boot. Then he would have to do surgery with plates and pins. She could be off work for up to 3 months more if that happens, which would put her missing almost 6 payments. I don't want her to lose her house, but I don't want to give her any money until she is truly at risk because I don't want her husband to benefit from it.

Any suggestions?

my home went into foreclosure and the bank bought the home back for less than was owed on it.? If the bank is going to file a lawsuit for the balance owed how long does it take for the bank to let you know if there are going to file? It's been 4 months since foreclosure. And the difference was $40K. Or will the bank just right if off.
Do the banks actually prefer foreclosures? The looming housing crisis acutally seems fairly simple to forestall or fix. It seems to me that anything is better than a default, right? When the mortgage holder defaults, the lender gets nothing. Therefore, if there were to be a massive conversion of all these two year ARMs to reasonable fixed rate mortgages, the potential crisis could be wholly averted. But this isn't happening. This leads me to believe that the banks actually prefer foreclosure and firesale which typically results in another mortgage. I think the problem may be that the mortgages are no longer held by the banks. They have been collateralized and sold as investment vehicles. So they bank is not left holding the worthless mortgage, rather, the CDO investor is left holding the worthless mortgage. Therefore, the bank doesn't really give a sht. But in this scenario, shouldn't the defaulted house actually belong to the investor rather than the bank? Can anyone comment intelligently on this?
What does my PMI cover, and why has this not covered the losses of recent foreclosures? I thought any mortgage with less than 20% down will automatically be paying for PMI (primary mortgage insurance). Why has this not minimized the bank losses with recent foreclosures? Why am I paying it?
