Be prepared to be shocked!

deals with substantive legal issues pertaining to mortgage financing. The ONLY "legally financeable" valuation is revealed, putting lawyers on unassailable grounds when needing to state the value of a property. The second element of the equation - equity - is, likewise, established beyond rational resistance. The third element (the mathematical "solution") becomes a simple step once value and accessible equity are established.

Lawyers are asked by their clients if they can "get" or "keep" the house; at the same time, lawyers, mediators, judges - not to mention, the parties - ask if one or the other can "afford" the house. Often, the knee-jerk reaction is to sell the house. But, this kicks the can to the other side of the road and not much further down it. This course shows the attorney exactly what questions are relevant to an answer; and most importantly, how to discover the precise answers. Many times, restructuring debt through mortgage financing is one solution that helps parties get to an answer. Other strategies are presented that allow the attorney to provide their clients with everything they need to answer the question - to sell or not to sell.

Shows how strategic planning can qualify divorcing clients more quickly than previously thought possible. The course shows lawyers how to help their clients literally create "qualifying income" for mortgages out of thin air. These practical strategies are widely needed, and built around universally required mortgage guidelines. Credit qualifying utlizes programmed algorithms to determine when a credit-challenged borrower will qualify for a mortgage and exactly how to "get there." This proves powerfully useful in negotiations that, otherwise, waste a lot of time questioning whether or not the proposed borrower can or can't qualify for financing. One more strategy in the series that cuts down on time spent figuring out what the instructors have already figured out. Advanced Credit and Income Qualifying for Divorcing Homeowners.

This presentation gives lawyers and mediators a template for preparing their clients for the home mortgage issue in upcoming mediation. It aims to dramatically reduce wasted time with fruitless discussion about this issue, by obtaining for the proposed home owners (borrower) the precise terms of loan approval that fit within the parameters of the proposed settlement. Generic loan approvals are useless in this setting. Only a synchronization of FINAL divorce terms with a client's mortgage loan will work. But, how does mediation achieve that PRIOR to final divorce. This course shows how to do it with surprising ease. Solutions that anticipate final divorce and provide a road map to finalize with amazing success. 5 Magic Phrases to include in MSAs will work mortgage miracles for the settlement.

Discovered with a twist of providence, two professionals combining their separate, unique insights and divorce, this is something the IRS definitely will not tell you. See how a divorcing woman was about to give the IRS $300,000 because she only knew what everyone else knew…but that wasn’t enough.
