Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program
Posted by Garrett Lund on
What is the deal with HAFA?
It’s a great way to help avoid foreclosure if you need to sell and owe more than your property is worth i.e. Short Sale.
Benefits:
- Avoid Foreclosure
- Satisfy outstanding loan balance
- Receive cash to move - $3,000
- Up to $6,000 to settle junior liens… 2nd, 3rd loans
- Dee-In-Lieu… another option if unable to sell
- Commissions and Processing Fees paid up to 6% of contract price
- Credit reporting… “Settled for less than the full payment”. Typically much better than a foreclosure reporting
- IRS reporting… IRS requires use of Form 1099C, as debt forgiveness.
