Do you owe more than what your home is worth? Are you behind on payments and feel that you can’t afford your home anymore? Do you think that you wouldn’t be able to pay a Realtor to sell your home due to not having enough equity? These are all symptoms of being “upside down” in your home. In simple terms, your loan amount is higher than the current market value of your home. You may want to consider negotiating an Arizona short sale.
So what can be done with a situation like this in Phoenix or Arizona? A short sale might be the best solution for your needs. Many people have never heard of the term “Arizona short sale” or “Phoenix short sale”. A short sale in Arizona is when your mortgage company agrees to take a less amount owed on your home in an effort to sell the home before having to foreclose.
Most people who are “upside down” or owe more than their home is worth are left with only 2 options when they can’t afford the payment anymore. The first is foreclosure; obviously no one wants a foreclosure. Believe it or not, that bank doesn’t either. The repercussions of a foreclosure for both the homeowner and bank can be devastating. The homeowner loses a home and destroys his credit. The bank loses thousands in court costs and foreclosure expenses.
The second option is working an Arizona short sale. The advantages of doing an Arizona short sale or Phoenix short sale is coming up with a win-win solution for all parties. For example, when homeowners complete a short sale in Arizona, they have effectively stopped a foreclosure from taking place. And they have significantly lessened the damage to their credit. As far as the bank is concerned, an Arizona short sale has prevented them from repossessing a home. Repossessing a home or foreclosing on a home can cost banks tens of thousands of dollars.
Furthermore, banks are in the business of lending money, not owning homes.
So how does a homeowner qualify for doing an Arizona short sale or Phoenix short sale? This answer will vary greatly depending on the mortgage company at hand. Every bank has different policies and guidelines when negotiating Arizona short sales and Phoenix short sales. For example, some banks will require the homeowner to be 3 months behind before they will even consider allowing an Arizona short sale. Yet, other banks will allow Phoenix short sales even if the homeowner is current with mortgage payments.
Generally speaking, to do an Arizona short sale, banks will require the proof of financial hardship. This can include loss of job, divorce, overwhelming medical bills, and other various financial stressors. Furthermore, the bank will require that the home be listed with a licensed real estate agent. This is usually done to verify the value of the home. Homeowners are typically not allowed to try and negotiate and/or sell the homes themselves when doing an Arizona short sale or Phoenix short sale. In conclusion, if you feel that you can no longer afford your home, and you owe more than what it’s worth, consult with a licensed real estate agent or attorney regarding an AZ short sale.

What would be a good title for this novel?
I’m writing this short novel about a boy who has cerebral palsy. He lives in Oklahoma County along an old dirt road in the north. Alex Kale(the boy) is 7 years old and has to wear a steel brace on his right leg. He didn’t have many friends because he could never keep up with the other kids in the area. His best friend Nathaniel Kinley moved to Phoenix, Arizona 2 months ago. Now a new family is moving in next door and they have a girl his age, Samantha ‘Sam’ McLaughlin. They quickly become good friends and do everything together. Sam also has trouble walking becuase of Rickets. One day on his way home from school, Alex saw a farmer nailing to a post, a sign that said ‘Puppies for Sale.’ Alex slwoly walked up to the older man and gave a slight tug on his overalls. Mr. Cooper, the farmer turned around and smiled at the young boy. He asked, ‘Could I help you young man?’ Alex replies, ‘Yes, I’d like to buy one of your puppies’ the farmer says that they would be too much for a young boy to afford. Alex pulls 39 cents out of his pocket and asks if it was enough just to see them. Mr. Cooper says sure and calls Dolly the mother. Four little balls of fur come running after her. Alex then saw a remarkably smaller pup sliding down the ramp and runnin awkwardly trying to keep up with the others. Alex says to the farmer that he wanted the runt. Mr. Cooper says that he won’t want the runt it will never be able to keep up with young boy while running. Alex turns to the man rolls up his right pantleg, ‘You see sir, I don’t run too well myself and he needs someone who can understand.’ With that the farmer picked up the pup and handed it to the little boy. Alex asks ‘How much do I owe you sir?’ Mr. Cooper replies with tears in his eyes, ‘No charge, there is no charge for love.’ They boy goes home with his new dog and ends up naming him Skip. Alex, Sam and Skip Go for daily runs through the fields ond along the dirt roads. 5 years later Alex becomes very sick, and is bed-bound. For a year Skip stayed by Alex’s bed keeping watch over him until one night Alex quietly slipped away from life with Skip right by his side. And in the morning Alex’s mother finds Skip on the ground beside Alex’s bed, dead. Skip dies because he did what he needtp do in life and that was to make Alex Kale happy as long as he lived, and now with Alex gone, Skip has finished his duties.
