Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)
The U.S. Treasury Department announced new guidelines this week designed to make short sales go more smoothly. To qualify under these new guidelines:
* The property must be the home owner’s principal residence.
* The home owner must be delinquent on the mortgage or close to defaulting.
* The loan must have been made before Jan. 1, 2009, and be for less than $729,750.
* The borrowers’ total monthly mortgage payment must exceed 31 percent of their before-tax income.
Under the plan, borrowers will receive $1,500 from the government for selling homes for less than the amount of their mortgages. Mortgage-servicing companies will get $1,000 for each completed short sale.
Second-mortgage holders can receive up to $3,000 of the sales proceeds in exchange for releasing their liens.
Investors who hold the first mortgage can collect up to $1,000 from the government for allowing the payments.
Borrowers who complete a short sale under the program must be "fully released" from future liability for the debt, according to the guidelines.
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation
If you owe a debt to someone else and they cancel or forgive that debt, the canceled amount may be taxable.
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt
on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven
in connection with a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief.
This provision applies to debt forgiven in calendar years 2007 through 2012. Up to $2 million of forgiven debt
is eligible for this exclusion ($1 million if married filing separately). The exclusion does not apply if the
discharge is due to services performed for the lender or any other reason not directly related to a decline in
the home’s value or the taxpayer’s financial condition.
More information, including detailed examples can be found in Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures,
Repossessions, and Abandonments. Also see IRS news release IR-2008-17.

Get to know your communities!
Buying a home is about matching your desires and
needs with available properties. But it's also about
matching your lifestyle with the community you would
like to live in. The community in which your home
would be located is a very important part of your
purchase decision. It's always a good idea to learn
something about the community before you purchase a
home in it.
