[h/t FireDogLake ] Gee, Wells Fargo Bank. A guy does what he's supposed to do and not only makes his regular payments but extra ones too and you decide to foreclose on him? Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Orlando news station WFTV has the details : A man who made loan modification payments on time and early said Wells Fargo stopped taking payments and started foreclosing on his house. Etienne Syldor said he's worked his whole life for a home in Orlando for his wife and three children. Syldor is an immigrant from Haiti and a bus driver at Walt Disney World. At times, he said he has worked multiple jobs to make sure he never missed a mortgage payment. Last year, Wells Fargo offered him mortgage modification, and he was told if he made four monthly payments during a trial period, the modification would be permanent. So he made those payments and he made them on time, along with extra payments on the principal. What did he get for his trouble? Foreclosure. Wells Fargo's excuse? Not much of one. "For some loans, completing trial payments is a significant step toward a permanent modification; however, in this instance, the loan was part of a mortgage-backed security and in a protected pool, with specific payment guidelines. We are working with Mr. Syldor to explain the guidelines and explore options that may help." The bank told Eyewitness News Syldor didn't follow the modification guidelines because he paid early and sometime ...

Investigators are looking for four police impersonators who robbed a Homeowner in Miramar early Thursday morning. The robbery happened in the 2000 block of Southwest 117th Avenue about 1:15 a.m. "Just very nightmarish," said Rick Estrada, the Homeowner. "[I'm] about to go to sleep. I get a knock on the door." Estrada said the foursome was wearing tactical gear. "They were all in SWAT team outfits with the bulletproof vest with the police on the back," he said. "They were not wearing the standard police uniform that you see of officers working the road," said Tania Rues with the Miramar Police Department. "However, they were wearing what we describe as tactical gear -- bulletproof vests -- and the police insignia across the vest." "They tried to tie me up. The guy ties me up -- I didn't let him tie me up totally," said Estrada. "The guy had a gun to my head. He put me on my knees." The robbers then stole an undisclosed amount of cash, weapons, and other items from Estrada, who suffered cuts to his face and burns on his wrists. "I had such an adrenaline flow that it could've gone either way for me," he said. Descriptions of the robbers are: A man who is 5-feet 7-inches tall and heavy set with facial hair.A second man who is 5-feet 9-inches tall with a slim build, dark complexion, and short hair.A third man who is 5-feet 11-inches tall with short, cropped hair.A woman who is 5-feet 5-inches tall with blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, an ...

Wells Fargo Forecloses On Homeowner For Making Early Mortgage Payments

Foreclosure Protester Arrested At DOJ As Occupy Our Homes demonstrates at the Department of Justice the fraudclosure crisis continues unabated. A Florida family man who not only made his mortgage payments on time but made payments early faces foreclosure by Wells Fargo. The explanation for initiating the foreclosure proceedings by Wells Fargo is nothing short of amazing and offers a sad commentary on how little has changed despite the 2008 financial crisis and supposed reforms like Dodd-Frank. Etienne Syldor said he’s worked his whole life for a home in Orlando for his wife and three children. Syldor is an immigrant from Haiti and a bus driver at Walt Disney World. At times, he said he has worked multiple jobs to make sure he never missed a mortgage payment. Last year, Wells Fargo offered him mortgage modification, and he was told if he made four monthly payments during a trial period, the modification would be permanent. So far so good. Family man working multiple jobs to make sure he is paying his bills – personal responsibility and all that jazz. Court records confirm that Syldor made his payments. Then something funny happened. Despite the payments Wells Fargo began foreclosure proceedings on Syldor. Not surprisingly this made no sense to Syldor who, thankfully, hired an attorney and contacted a news station. Wells Fargo’s statement to the news station is one for the ages. Wells Fargo, bank representative Veronica Clemons sen ...

Homeowner tax deductions critical to real estate market progress

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:51:14 GMT

The IRS is evidently taking publicity tips from Lindsay Lohan. You know, create a scandal, do all you can to hide it, then act as if an apology is all that’s needed to douse the scorching fallout. Well, it is the IRS; it’s not as if they’re everyone’s favorite government entity to begin with. And like Linsday, the IRS has some good things going for it, it’s own “Mean Girls,” if you will. Specifically, the folks who we’ve named April 15 after do offer taxpayers some really nice incentives to own a home. In fact, these are probably three of the best reasons to buy a home in Las Vegas , outside of the low prices, great mortgage rates and the chance to work with Gavish Real Estate. (Wink, wink!) Let’s look at the three major tax code laws that benefit homeowners, the mortgage interest deduction, the property tax deduction and the capital gains exclusion. 1. Mortgage Interest Deduction This smart piece of tax legislation allows homeowners to deduct from their taxes the amount of interest paid each on a mortgage. As any breakdown of your monthly mortgage payment will demonstrate, that’s quite a bit of money the government allows us to deduct. Yes, this means you have to itemize and there are some stipulations, but none that your accountant can’t handle. However, there are a number of groups out there who aren’t psyched about this tax benefit. The National Association of Realtors is not one of them. According to WikiPedia, The Netherlan ...
