Arizona’s anti-deficiency statue goes into effect September 30, 2009. The Federal Law prohibits lenders from recovering assets against borrowers, such as autos and bank accounts, after the lender forecloses on the borrower’s property. There are key requirements that apply, to fall under this new statue.

The requirements under the new law are as follows: single family homes or duplexes on 2.5 acres or less; must be utilized for dwelling purposes (occupied or partially occupied); and construction has to be completed on the property (not under construction). If the requirements do not meet the above standards then the property does not qualify under the anti-deficiency statue.

If the property is completed and is held as an investment and only used occasionally, this would qualify under the anti deficiency statue and the homeowner would not be liable for any deficiency arising out of a trustee sale. Once the trustee sale is complete, the deed of trust does not allow the bank to look for other assets to satisfy the remaining debt.

Investors beware. If the investor does not occupy the residence for a minimum of six months and there is a second lien on the property, such as a home equity line of credit, the investor could be liable for any unpaid debt or deficiency arising out of the trustee sale. This means that after the Deed of Trust is recorded after the trustee sale is completed, the bank could file a judgment or lawsuit against the investor for any remaining debt.

A “non-recourse” loan means the lender cannot pursue a deficiency against the borrower or homeowner. The only recourse the lender has is to repossess the property.

A bank only has the option of repossessing the property if the guidelines don’t meet the Arizona anti-deficiency law. Under this circumstance, it would be a “non-recourse” loan. The bank only has one option, and that is foreclosing on the home and cannot go after any assets of the homeowner.

Some types of “recourse” liens or loans might be a Home Equity line of credit. Possibly a second position loan when the borrower received a loan for a pool. Usually second position loans use your home as collateral and were applied for by the borrower after they first purchased the home. They closed escrow originally and then at a later date borrowed money for home improvements, vacations, etc. The bank or lender then has “recourse” to pursue the homeowner for the unpaid lien through a judgment or lawsuit.

Under the Arizona anti deficiency laws, the lender on the purchase money loan would have no recourse other than to take back the property. The lender who has the second position home equity line of credit could and usually does enter into judgment and possibly lawsuits against the homeowner.

Securing a copy of the title history is very important before participating in a Trustee Sale. We call it the “chain of title” or “limited title report”. There is a minimal cost of approximately $100 to obtain this report.

There are two main reasons why you need the title history. First, you need to be sure the foreclosing lien holder is in first position. Second, you want to verify that there aren’t any IRS, property tax or mechanic liens on the home.

Keep in mind we’re buying a “lien” vs a “property”. Not doing the proper research could cause us to buy all “liens” without our knowledge and drastically increase our liabilities and responsibilities.

IRS liens are very rare but they do happen. The IRS has redemption rights meaning they can seize the property within 120 days of being notified of the Trustee Sale. Notified is the key word here as the redemption period doesn’t start until the notification to the IRS.

Verifying liens can be somewhat tricky, especially mechanics liens. Once you verify the lien you will then have to locate the contractor and try to reach a settlement prior to bidding on the property. You also might consider the services of an attorney at this point. If this doesn’t work or you feel uncomfortable, passing on the property might be your best option.

Arizona State property tax liens are almost always present on a property that is going to foreclosure. Although these liens do need to be paid by the winning bidder at the Trustee Sale, in Arizona, property taxes are relatively inexpensive so this lien typically doesn’t hurt the investor’s profit margin.

Arizona Trustee Sales can be an exciting and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort on your part you will have a vast range of knowledge and experience to make purchasing at a Trustee Sale a profitable venture.

With the over-correcting of property prices due to the boom in 2005, buying Arizona Real Estate can be a fruitful experience. Arizona has some of the lowest prices per square foot in the nation.

Buyer representation really started to gain acceptance in the real estate community in the early 1990’s. For those of you who might remember, we as real estate agents would put buyers in our cars, drive them around and show them homes, possibly take them to lunch then out the next day and show them more homes and so on.

The real estate agent had never met the seller of a particular home but the law stated that the real estate professional was an agent for the seller. This is almost unheard of now, but some companies and or their agents still use this practice.

Now that the rules have changed, real estate agents are now required to discuss in detail an “Agency Disclosure” form which is one part of the purchase contract. This disclosure form explicitly states who the agent represents. This form should be signed by the party that the agent is representing and is by no means a commitment from the buyer. It is only a disclosure and should be signed PRIOR to the writing of a purchase contract.

Several buyers actually think they can save money by dealing directly with the listing agent, since the buyer and seller will only be working with one agent. Does that buyer realize the agent has a fiduciary duty to the seller and will not negotiate a deal in the best interests of the buyer? Nor can the agent discuss price or provide any recommendations, opinions or anything relevant to market value to the buyer.

Being represented “exclusively” by your agent is crucial in a real estate transaction. Here’s a good example; you call the listing agent off a sign you see in a front yard and ask them to show you the property. You preview the home, love it and ask to make an offer. When you discuss offer price, you tell the listing agent you would be willing to go higher but you want to start at a lower price. When the listing agent presents the offer to the seller, they can tell their seller you are willing to go higher. So the seller immediately counters your offer with a higher price.

Probably the biggest misunderstanding or misconception of representation is with brand new model home communities. Ever seen the sign in a new home sales office that says “Buyer must be accompanied by their real estate agent on their first visit”? That sign is there for a reason. If you are not escorted by a real estate agent on your first visit then the builder will not allow you to be represented. The salesperson works for and represents the builder/seller and will try to get the builder/seller the highest price possible for their homes.

If the buyer goes to a new home community by themselves and falls in love with one of their models, then they call their agent to meet them there can be disastrous. Most builders will not allow this even if the buyer did not register with the new home subdivision on their first visit. Once you cross that threshold in a new home community, the builder will not allow you to be represented by an agent.

Buyer’s agents use a real estate form in their business called a “Buyer Broker Exclusive Employment Agreement”. Many buyers tend to shy away from signing this disclosure form upfront, but it really protects the buyer and buyer only. It’s not an agreement that forces the buyer to purchase a home but rather an agreement in writing that the agent agrees to “exclusively” represent (look out for their best interests and work for the buyer making sure they get the best possible price for the home) the buyer when they do decide to purchase.

How long does it take to close on a home from time of contract to close of escrow? 2 months . . . .4 months. . . . .6 months? Even though there are some new and positive guidelines for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, these new requirements will most likely lengthen this time frame. I also see more confusion in the real estate market and finance industry. Let’s try and put some light on these new changes.

Lenders must now provide appraisers a copy of the sales contract and all associated addendums. If a change is made to the purchase contract, the appraiser must be notified and updated paperwork made available.

Appraisals that only value a portion of a parcel are forbidden. The comparative market analysis by the appraiser has to include the entire parcel of the subject property or parcel of land. The key word here is “entire”.

Sellers beware! If you thought the foreclosed property next door in your neighborhood was not included in the market value of your home, think again. REO’s, short sales and foreclosed homes now have to be considered by the appraiser in determining the market value of your home. The appraisal companies in the past were ignoring the REO’s, short sales and foreclosures.

You would think “common sense” would be considered in any new rules or guidelines. Here is another new guideline that is mandatory. If the appraiser has any financial interest in the transaction, the appraisal has to be verified by a third party who is “arms-length” from the transaction.

If repairs are needed that affect soundness, structural integrity or livability, the property must be appraised subject to the completion of those items. This is where we got the FHA 203K loan.

If management in the appraisal company has an “employee” complete an appraisal, before management or a review appraiser can sign off on the appraisal, they must complete their own inspection on the property. Management cannot depend solely on the “employees” expertise.

Since this downturn in the real estate market, the Home Valuation Code was amended to cease “favoritism” or the “influence” of market values. Protecting the consumer was also taken into consideration. These are positive changes but I still foresee this putting a damper on the timeline that it takes to close a transaction.
