The ShredShack was created to help spread the word regarding the Only REAL help available to those with mortgages underwater or upside-down.
Tired of talking to countless Bank representatives, State Departments, private non-profit companies, and Attorneys who all talk about modifying only the conditions of your loan, but not the Principal Balance / Loan Amount??? Tired of these representatives asking that you fill-out countless amounts of forms, only to asked months later that you to fill even more forms?
Tired of no one REALLY helping with regard to a REAL aggressive solution such as fixing the LARGEST issue at hand — your mortgage Principal Reduction on the Balance??
Look no further. Upon qualification, you can experience True solutions that will modify Term, Conditions, and effectively write an entirely new mortgage for you.
The Shred Shack is the Leader as we exercise the only technique currently available within the U.S. to offer such a result.
The TRUTH is that the banks have already been bailed out by the tax payer (you), so they have very little incentive to behave in a way that will offer you real aggressive assistance. I’m sure youve discovered this notion to be simply insult to an already very deep injury. AND WE AGREE.
What we offer is actually not a modification at all, but a re-finance option that will not only change your conditions and overall balance, but write a brand new mortgage for your property.
Best of all, you have nothing to loose, as we do all the negotiating, all the internal paperwork, all the processing, and charge you NOTHING upfront while we work for you. All you pay are the closing costs. 
Best – Best of all, we do not commit to working on this plan on your behalf unless we believe we can close your new mortgage allowing you the security and piece-of-mind that all you will owe on the new mortgage is a new principal balance of 5% LESS than current Market Value for your property! Yes, you heard right, well structure this so you gain equity!

Part 7 (Excerpt)
Beware of grandiose claims when dealing with a loan modification firm.
You know I am glad that were back, when we went to the break we were talking amongst ourselves about some of these concepts, I really want to bring this back down to the listeners. So they really understand what this means to them. You have three strategic partners, each of them experts in their field, sitting around these microphones in the studio talking about how these factors have an impact on the listening public, the people listening to this station right now.
Velocity Financial is an expert in all things mortgage related. It represents the largest asset many people have in terms of their home. What were talking about is, we know the economic pain that exists, you probably read that Arizona has the dubious distinction according to the Case-Schiller index of having the highest property value declines in the country. People are feeling some pressure here and for those people who want to consider what a loan modification might do for them, should call you and talk about what that represents.
Then from there, you can refer them to people like Mike Patenella to talk about the tax ramifications, Mike can speak to some of those items and I can talk about their overall financial planning. But to start with let’s talk about what the loan modification process really represents and who can benefit from.
We have talked about all the different things you can do with your home as a home owner, there is the loan modification and there’s several different types of loan modifications, there is the option of a short sale, which can have huge tax implications that people may not be aware of. There is the option of foreclosure, which is almost the last thing you want to do and there is also bankruptcy.
Loan modification is essentially for the person who is unable to make your payment, because there was a material change, and the change that I am talking about is your not making as much money. You may have lost your job. You have one of these mortgages that are toxic, where the interest rate has gone up significantly.
I would not buy the story from some guy with an ugly little yellow sign on the side of the road that says, hey I can help you and I have a 99% success rate with my loan modifications. That is essentially a guarantee and there is nobody in their right mind that would buy the guarantee. There are so many different types of mortgage servicers out there, literally thousands of mortgage companies out there and you cannot predict what any one of these mortgage companies is going to do.
Certainly not guarantee anyone any result. Were definitely going to try our best, thats why we use a national network of attorneys, 45 out of the 50 states have some kind of recourse involved with short sales and foreclosures, loan modifications. This is not something you can just figure out on your own and certainly dont buy into some story that there is somebody who can reduce your mortgage by 50%. Thats not going to happen, or that they have a 99% success rate, things are just not realistic.
You should know better and I know I am putting it bluntly, lets be honest. You should know better. It sounds too good to be true folks, it is. These no cost loans, these goofballs are selling on the radio, saying they don’t cost anything, let me say this, someones got to pay for it. Try walking to one of these big banks right now thats trying so hard right now to make up for some of their losses, so if anyone is offering you something that sounds too good to be true. It probably is, call an expert, call someone who knows what they’re doing, and our team has 16 years of loan modification experience. Our national network of attorneys are dedicated to getting loan modifications and work with almost every major lender, use a pro.
Now Mike, I wanted to throw it over to you to reiterate a few of these things to talk about the different options that people are looking at. The reality of it is that a loan modification, if it works is the absolute best.
That would appear to be the case. You dont want to file bankruptcy, which would be your last choice. Trying to say youre insolvent might be difficult when you factor in all of your assets, so the foreclosures and the short sales, I think those just destroy your credit. Am I right on that?

Part 4 (Excerpt)
Mortgage Backed Securities, Collateralized Debt Obligations and Tranches Oh My!
Now, I put the colorful title on How to Screw the Bank that Screwed You for no other reason than to get people to click on it to get the information, because frankly, a lot of people were given really bad loans, were given really bad advice, and sometimes you have to fight back.
Here is one of the things and again Ill try to make this as uncomplicated as possible. Let’s say you bought the house and you got the loan through a mortgage broker. Well that mortgage broker didnt really give you the loan. They bought that loan from a wholesaler of mortgages. That wholesaler of mortgages, in turn bought that loan from one of those big huge Wall Street banks, most of which are out of business right now.
Important thing to point out if I may, Velocity Financial is a mortgage broker, we do get our money from several wholesale banks, I just wanted to point that out because we’re glad were a broker.
Just to continue the analogy. So the broker buys it from a wholesaler, who buys it from the Wall Street bank, and like I said, most of them are out of business now. And what the Wall Street bank did with thousands of these loans worth billions of dollars, they put them all together into what is known as mortgage backed securities. That is the stuff you hear like Fannie Mae is selling and there is an interest rate put on them, and what happened to these mortgage backed securities is they in-turn were bought up by other Wall Street banks, combined with other mortgage backed securities and they were called collateralized debt obligations.
Well then these brainiacs on Wall Street decided to chop these collateralized debt obligations up into what is referred to as tranches. So let’s say you had your best quality AAA borrowers in the top tranch . And obviously your ZZZ borrowers were in the bottom tranch. Each one of them was given a specific interest rate, each one of them was rated by a bond rating firm, and each one of them was given insurance.
Well, what happens is as these got split up and sold over time the notes on the mortgages go with the debt itself. So CDO over in Bangladesh owns your mortgage now, but here is the problem, they dont have the paperwork.
So the reason I went through this whole story is in case your bank comes to you and says were going to foreclose what you want to do is go and get yourself an attorney and you want this attorney to go to this bank and say we want you to prove to us that you have standing, that they have the legal right to come after you and foreclose on you. And here is the thing, if they dont have the paperwork, if they dont have the note on the property, they cant prove that they have standing. So whether its the wholesaler, who is foreclosing on you, whether its the servicer, whoever it is, chances are very good that they dont have this note.
So again, he got a little complicated. You want to go to the website http://mortgageanswerman.com and there are several articles there, and a lovely little chart that I drew up, except that it will be much nicer than this piece of paper, and I will have all the information there. I had a friend just recently who was in foreclosure and she made the phone call, and she said, you cannot foreclose on me without the original note. Now eventually it got foreclosed on, but it delayed it several months until they were able to find that note. Chances are they may never be able to find that note.
And in many states, including Florida and Ohio they are very successful at using this tactic to stop or completely do-away-with the foreclosure sale. We dont necessarily want to encourage people to go down this path, right? Were looking for a stall essentially?
Well, hopefully no one will ever have to get to that point. But if you believe that your servicer, your mortgage company is not being nice to you. Especially if you call them up and want to do a loan modification, and they are dragging their feet, filing foreclosure and coming after you, you have to protect yourself. And this is one of the ways you can protect yourself by hiring an attorney and suing them for lack of standing
That is one of the things that I want to talk about that Velocity Financial is involved with a national network of attorneys who do this sort of work. Velocity Financial does not charge an upfront fee for these types of loan modifications, we do hire an attorney and they work with the national network of attorneys to work on your behalf. They do charge a retainer, of course, if they are going to fight for you they need to be paid, however, there are no upfront fees…

Part 4 (Excerpt)
FHA financing why you should work with a broker: 4% appreciation over the last 17 years
You mentioned earlier that property values are up 71% long term, even though we had this 50% drop. Youre talking about the average 4% appreciation per year since 1992.
Right, I did some calculations I was working on a book last year and one of these days I may get around to publishing it. Its called Real Estates Future and what we were looking at was a statistical model to be able to pick the top and the bottom of all the real estate markets. I hadnt looked at the thing for about a year until I was working with Michael the other day and I started pulling it out and going lets run the model and see where we are in regards to the market, and one of the things I looked at is the last time we saw the bottom of the market was when I was selling houses for the RTC and that was in 1992, the median home price was $76,000. Median home price now is $130,000. That means from 1992 until now it went up 71%, thats after we just saw a 50% decline. So it is up 4% per year on average, and where else are you going to get a return like that? Even if you put 3.5% down on a house you are getting a heck of a lot more than a 4% return. If you look at the internal rate of return it is significantly greater.
Right and dont buy a house because you are looking at a rate of return. If you are a first time home buyer and you can qualify for this program, if you have been living in an apartment for the last three years and you just want to have a better place for yourself and your family to live, I know right now there are a lot of fabulous houses out there for $130,000. I saw one the other day that was listed at $100,000 that I know was probably at least $250,000 a couple of years ago. Yes, four bedroom-three bath houses, we are currently working on several cases at $150,000 or below, in good parts of Maricopa county.
I ran some numbers before as well just looking at the number of homes that sold in Maricopa County in January and in that month 45% of all the houses that were sold, sold for less than $130,000. And when I had the example earlier about the median family could buy a $280,000 that was 85% of the market. 85% of all the houses that were sold in Maricopa County could be purchased by a family of four with a median income.
And you know with the loan limits the way they are with FHA with 3.5% down you can go all the way up to $358,000 and still only put 3.5% down. Pretty much anyone can get in and I would probably say that 90-95% of all the houses sold were within the FHA loan limit. That means you can still get in with 3.5% down, you dont have to have perfect a credit report, you cant have a lot of bumps on it but it doesnt have to be perfect, you dont have to have a huge FICO score.
Do they even look at FICO scores? Its complicated, the Federal Housing Administration does not have a minimum FICO score requirement, however all of the mortgage banks have overlays, so in other words nobody uses just the FHA guidelines, they have their own parameters on top of the FHA requirements. One of the main reasons why you would want to go to a broker instead of directly to your bank is they may or may not have enough overlays that will work in your favor. As a broker we have all of the major mortgage banks and we know the guidelines, so we can make anyone fit into a house that can get approved.
Right and thats always the nice thing about working with a broker because you have, lets say you have 20 banks that you are signed up with and you are FHA with all of them, so you have 20 different sets of guidelines that you can fit the borrower into. If a home buyer went to a bank and they had to do an appraisal and a credit check and all that and then they denied you, you would have to go to a different bank and they would have to do all that same stuff all over again. When you are working with a broker they do it one time and then shop it to 20 different lenders.
Yes, and I have to point something out more importantly, if you go directly to your bank and you do get declined after you have spent the money on all these different things the process is much more difficult because you have to start all over again and the reason you were declined has to be explained as well and it becomes a much more lengthy process. Where as when working with a broker you dont have to do that. We take the hit for you and we move you into the right lender of your choice…

Part 6 (Excerpt)
Foreclosures may be the best purchase option for first time home owners; Interest rates at all time lows
In the last couple of months, 40% of all the total sales in Maricopa County were foreclosures. 40% of the total market was foreclosures and thats not including short sales, and so normally someone is doing a short sale because their bank is not willing to work with them to do the loan modification. So we could be taking 50% maybe 60% of the supply off the market and as soon as we do that we are going to start to see the bottom of this market.
So right now again I think it is a fantastic time to get out there, with government intervention, its a great time to get out there and buy a house. Most people who are out there looking at homes today they have already met with a realtor or they have met with their mortgage planner or both and they are ready to get out there and go. One of the things that is still happening out there is it is still a hot buyers market. The buyer can still go buy a home that fits their needs, their families needs, that they can grow with and the seller in most cases is willing to pretty much do whatever they can as long as they get somewhere close to what they need to yield on the property.
They are willing to pay all of your closing costs in almost every case and if there are some repairs that need to be done then they are willing to do those again in almost every case. It has to be of course within reason and it also has to be repairs that need to be done. For instance, if you want granite countertops because you dont like the Formica, the lender is not going to pay for that. But if there are no countertops then the lender in most cases will do that. It has to be a primary residence. They are not going to do this for investors.
We have had a lot of cases moving past this month. You can get the lowest interest rates weve seen in years and get the seller to pay most of your closing costs, but you do need to get in and get preapproved, not prequalified preapproved, for a loan so you have that check with you when you go out to make an offer. If you are approved we can close that loan in a hurry and you will not have any problems.
One thing especially here in Arizona there are so many people who are upside down in their homes right now. You have the same issues in Florida and California everybody knows the states where they have been really hard hit. It is really difficult for a seller who is $100,000 upside down in their home to put their house on the market and get it sold and be able to give a good deal to a first time home buyer, so thats why I think in this market right now the foreclosures are some of the best deals out there. You have a motivated seller, you have a vacant house and in some cases you even have financing available from the seller of the property. Being a Fannie Mae, FHA or VA who can provide financing, so the foreclosures right now are definitely the hot spot in the market. What we were saying a couple of minutes ago was that theres a potential that coming six months from now these foreclosures could be gone. And that is great for everybody
Yes it is great for everybody and now is the time to get in there and snap them up and I have heard anecdotal stories, just recently my brother picked up a couple of REOs and he is paying somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000 for these properties, two of them were tri-plexes. And I know someone just the other day bought a home for $45,000. It was a three year old house, they had to clean the carpet and moved the tenant in the next day and that was actually someone who worked in your office Michael. Pretty easy to cash flow on a $45,000 house. Its really easy to cash flow on a $45,000 house and the rent on that was probably about $1200. So I dont know, what are they making $500, $600, $700 a month?
But what I am saying is thats the kind of prices you can get. Now I am not saying go buy the $45,000 house, because I dont know what the neighborhood was like. He said it was brand new, but maybe you have to buy the $150,000 house. But the biggest thing is make sure you get pre-qualified first. Dont start looking at foreclosure properties or any other property until you go to Velocity Financial and get yourself pre-qualified…
