Mortgage Default Canada

Question: What access to CDN assets does a US mortgage company have when a Canadian citizen defaults on a US mortgage?

We own a property in Florida that unfortunately does not make financial sense to try to keep. We will likely walk away from the house and default on the mortgage. What access will the mortgage company have to my assets here in Canada, and what are the possible repercussions?
Thanks very much.

Answer: I would ask an attorney this question. Typically, most states have laws that require a mortgage company to only one solution for the mortgage. If they opt to foreclose on the home, then any other option may not be viable. For example, here in California that is what happens. A home can either be foreclosed on as the only remedy or the mortgage company can release the lien on the home and go after the owners other assets, but not both options together.

Again, contact an attorney about this. I would not give advise on this and certainly would not accept any with the person holding a valid law degree, specifically in real estate and foreclosure laws and preferably in both American and Canadian Law.

Good luck

Mortgage Fraud Trends

Question: How is the government going to catch mortgage fraud?

because there's too many out there! There also seems to be a growing trend where political figures, corporations, financial instutions, & laid off people are finding ways to screw people over --in order to make money or simply steal money. In other words, the trend is "who-can-I screw-over?" mentality.

Answer: Another good question by you. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's almost like getting screwed over twice- once during the housing crash and then again on the upswing. This type of stuff should be heavily regulated but unfortunately there are too many loopholes for white collar criminals to exploit. The system favors the crooks. And then if they are caught, they get a dramatically lighter sentence than even someone charged with a drug crime. Our laws almost encourage unethical behavior. (By the way, Florida is one of the states being bombarded by the scams- corporate crooks are everywhere down here. They set up their boiler rooms and then they scam poor folks who are trying to find a way out of their financial troubles. It's a most unfortunate situation.)

Home Sellers Defaulting on Purpose for Bail-out Money - Interview with 1-800-CashOffer

Mortgage Default In Canada

The mortgage lead these days has more to do with a bail out feat than a real estate dealing, as mortgage foreclosures lead mortgage renewals by a wide margin. All across the US hundreds of 1000s of properties are being lost to bank foreclosure.

The home buying marketplace in the US is just about as perky as lead. Mortgage banks are troubled as a result of incompetent money management and individuals are being ravaged at a horrific rate. Shortly personal bankruptcies will lead mortgage registrations as well.

Up north in Canada currently the mortgage lead sector isn't nearly as bad. Sure, the realty world is 90% smaller but in Canada, their home market has not suffered as much specifically in the case of holding a mortgage. Lead time when it comes to Canada following the US when it comes to trends is 6-eighteen months if history remains true. Property sales in just about all areas in Canada is at the "hot" stage all the same, and foreclosuresdefaults do not lead mortgage renewals there at all.

Mortgages lead foreclosure defaults by a long shot in Canada, the Canadian dollar is soaring to all time heights against our dollar, market trust is buoyant and mortgage rates proceed to lead. Mortgage lead programs are not equivalent in Canada,there is still a market for mortgages, so lead mortgage referral is still required. Though repossessions are the rage in the US, the real estate sector of the economy in Canada is well in the lead. Mortgage rates are steady in Canada, though usually follow the US lead.

Mortgage foreclosure does not seem to be following the American market due to the fact that there is no sub prime market in Canada, it is all controlled by the major banks. If the US real estate market continues to falter though, expect the Canadian market to one day follow their lead. Mortgage rate stability may keep the status quo for now, but expect it to catch up eventually.
