Upside Down on Your Mortgage? Buy A New House For Cheap, Then Default On the Old One!

comic 35 - foreclosure

The current housing/mortgage/credit/energy/everything crisis is inspiring people to find creative solutions to overcoming their financial problems. The latest get unpoor quick scheme: swapping houses with negative equity for much cheaper ones. Even folks who are $100k or more underwater on their current mortgages can escape their crushing debt and still come out as homeowners. It’s so easy, even you can do it by following these simple steps:

  1. Sign a contract on a new house for cheap.
  2. Forge a rental agreement for your current house and use the “rental income” to help you get a mortgage for the new house.
  3. Move in to the new, reasonably-priced house.
  4. Default on the old mortgage and let the bank foreclose.

Some banks and government agencies are calling this “buy and bail” tactic fraud, usually pointing to step two which requires you to put your current house down as rental income. But since many mortgage lenders let you buy a new home before you sell the old one without a rental agreement in place (just the motivation to sell quickly so you’re not paying two mortgages), you may be able to bypass the fraud part of the scheme entirely. Those who’ve pulled it off successfully say there’s nothing fraudulent about it, possibly because it uses the banks’ own policies against them.

Because buy-and-bail is happening more and more frequently, government-sponsored underwriters like Fannie Mae are moving quickly to help clamp down on the practice. And even without new rules and regulations, buy-and-bail is still a tricky endeavor with plenty of drawbacks, such as:

  • Your credit will suffer greatly. Since foreclosures latch themselves to your credit report for seven years, you really better like that new house because you won’t be getting another mortgage loan for a good long time.
  • You might go to jail or get sued. If your old lender finds out that you drew up a fraudulent rental agreement to get the new mortgage, they might come after you with their army of lawyers. Even if you don’t use the fake rental agreement, jilted lenders may still come after your assets including your new home.
  • It’s morally wrong. Forget rules and laws and everything else. If you pull off a buy-and-bail, you’ll be just as sleazy as the bank that sold you a mortgage you couldn’t afford in the first place.
  • Banks can just say no. If a lender suspects something like a buy-and-bail situation, they might turn your down. But if you’re going for a mortgage with someone other than your current lender, there’s really no reason for the new lender to say no even if they suspect buy-and-bail since only the old lender will have to deal with the resulting foreclosure.

A few banks have wised up to the buy-and-bail scheme and are now requiring people who buy a new home before selling the old to prove they can pay the mortgage on both of them. Of course, even if you can pay both mortgages doesn’t mean you’re going to.

Personally, if you’re that far under on your current mortgage and you want to sell, I think your first attempt should be at making a short sale—selling the house for less than the balance of your mortgage—with your lender’s blessing. You get to avoid any legal tangles, the bank doesn’t lose as much money as it would on a foreclosure, and the house goes to a real person instead of a bank. Of course, if your bank won’t help you out with a short sale, you may be slightly more morally justified in buying and bailing on them.

I think your right that if you are behind on your mortgage you should try to sell your home. It is a hard market to sell in now, but if the price is right…

I have never really understood why people that know they are not going to be able to afford the mortgage in a few months don’t sell their property. Rarely is it the case that you all of a sudden go into foreclosure. Usually you know long before the bank does that you are not going to be able to pay off the house.

i guess it boils down to the person himself. although it could be a way to get out of debt, but the risks involved could stop some people from doing it. personally…. if for instance my back is up against the wall… i’d go for the short sale first, then if all else fails… who knows..

Some people are doing this who never intended too–they bought the new house with their first one under contract for sale or rent, and then their contract fell through after purchasing the second house.

Others assumed the geat real estate market would last forever, and now can’t sell and with everything rising in cost, can’t juggle both sets of payments.

Those who did it intentionally are another category altogether.

What’s even more crazy is there is a judge in California that forgave the debt on a foreclosed home (in favor of the home owners) because they lied on their mortgage application. The judge said the lie was so outrageous the bank should have caught it… so he blamed the bank and ruled in favor of the home owners haha.

My husband and I bought a modest 2 bedroom home in 2/2004. We had the unexpected news a month later that we were expecting our first child. We planned the second child, born in 2007. Now we are expecting twins. Our house is too small, we need to move for business reasons (husband’s job) and our income has been depleted because I am staying home now. In addition, we are upside-down to the tune of abot 20 grand. When I called a realtor to list the home he laughed at me. There are four public auctions in our neighborhood and too many to count in our community. I can’t go back to work because my industry has removed many positions in the area in which we live and I am unable to renew my lisence due to health reasons. In addition, that great rate we have adjusts in 2011. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get out of my home in a legal, moral way, move to a better community with better schools for my children–anything short of jumping off a bridge–I would love to hear it.

Laura: Best that you file for bankruptcy, foreclose on your home and save every penny from unpaid mtge payments. Find a v. modest way to rent a home in a good area for as LITTLE AS POSSIBLE (even a apartment) for right now. Work like crazy to get your credit score up again, keep saving hard, then buy again in a few years – something you can comfortably afford and preferably with the seller who has equity helping you with the financing through your Realtor or an real estate attorney. Real estate attorneys know a lot about the different tricks on how to get into home ownership. I have done all of the above – failed and succeeded, so I know how you feel.

I would have never thought to try anything like this, but our realtor basically lied to us when we bought our house. Four years ago, we purchased a house in an area with polluted groundwater. After buying the house, the water came back from the EPA contaminated, immediately lowering the value of our house. Now, in 2008, with the plume shifting right to our well again and prices in town dropping through the floor, we’re in deep. We owe 134K and the house, if appraised today, would probably fetch 110K at the highest. I’m sick, I’m pissed and I see no other option than to walk. It’s either drink poison or destroy our credit. And I’m not too proud to walk. I’ve petitioned the city to put in their water system to no avail, I’ve written anyone and everyone and I’m at the point when I get my next water test in two weeks, I’m going to go to an attorney to get some advice on what to do. I have a feeling he’ll encourage me to file BK. Any other suggestions before I make that leap?

I used to think these sort of tactics were morally reprehensible, sleazy . . . but after the $750 billion + bailout of the same companies that perpetrated this crisis (don’t know this for sure, because the names of the companies bailed out haven’t been released by the Feds), I’m starting to wonder if ethics should play any part at all in our financial decisions. When “normal” people, with good credit scores, start wondering if it’s worth it to play by the rules, we’ve got trouble.

One year ago, my wife and I bought a house then came all the bad news about the economy, the banks, foreclosures. Now, my wife lost her job and I am the only earner. We are able to get by but I am scared to death about not being able to save money for rainy days. Our house is worth a lot less than what we paid for at least by $50k. Things do not look good here in Las Vegas area in the housing market or the economy. The house has become a big burden now. After learning the details of this housing meltdown, I feel that the banks played a bigger role in creating this mess. I take full responsibility in my part for being in this position but the banks also took a chance on some of the people in my neighborhood when they decided to lend them without proper proof of income. I am hoping to go for a short sale but if the banks do not work with me, we are planning on letting the house go and rent. The stress is killing me. I have always tried to do my finances carefully but I guess I was drunk when I decided to buy the house. I do not have any other debt and never been late with my bills. How long will it take to rebuild my credit? It might be 2-3 years before the economy recovers and by then I would have saved enough to make wiser decisions financially. I have learned my lessons the hard way. Never get a house if the payment is going to be more than 25% of your income. I do not want to use the buy and bail tactic. I think it is a lot easier to rent a house and wait until the the house price drops even more. People have underestimated the severity of this crisis. I do not plan on buying a house any time soon (at least 4 years).

When you buy a second home though. Dont you have to buy conventional…which the down is way higher than a FHA loan. 10% of the home value I think a conventional is???
I really want to buy another cheaper home and have enough if I could do a FHA loan, but not conventional. I want out of my house that has lost of $50K in value, and my payments are too high for me to make due to job loss, and pay reductions. But I still want to own a house..just a lot cheaper one…

I live in Northern CA…the house next door sold for $409,000 in July 2006. The couple who bought walked away a year later (2007) & it just sold this past January for $188,000. I currently owe $310,000….lived here 6 years…put on a new roof, new landscaping, new heating & a/c, remodeled 2 of my 3 bathrooms, new doors (inside & out), new carpet, installed laminate flooring downstairs, new water heater, new automatic garage door, and more…and I can sell my house for around $188,000 – $190,000!!! I am seriously considering the “buy & bail”!

We are obviously in a very bad housing market and unfortunately for owners it is a buyers market. If you must sell why not try to up the value of your house without spending that much such as installing new flooring that will add value to your home without having to break the bank.

What most people don’t realize is that their lenders have mortgage insurance. This assures they are paid, even if the homeowners are in a situation where they have to short sale their home or even bail. What irritates the heck out of me is this. You have an honest hard working couple doing their best in this MESS; taking jobs they would never have, but don’t have a choice if they want to save their home; working night and day, even doing odd jobs for anyone. And after 3 years of struggling and worrying HOW ARE THEY GOING TO PAY THE TAXES AND INSURANCE, (which has tripled where I live) and actually affecting their health; they bite the bullet and try a loan modification with their lender. After FIVE MONTHS of following up, faxing and re-faxing because if the lender doesn’t receive the ‘entire package’ they discard it; spending $200 on faxes alone – they’re told ‘you’re denied. you don’t make enough’ Is there any wonder why good honest hardworking people are turning to other measures that they probably wouldn’t have ever considered this. But here’s the REAL irritating part. When the couple tries a short sale, the lender has the NERVE to threaten the homeowner to pay the portion they agreed to ‘forgive’ This is the same $ that they’re already going to recoup on from the mortgage insurance. And if I’m not mistaken, cuz I’m not sure, mortgage insurance is backed by the government, which is funded from OUR TAXES. So we’re paying again!! Then we wonder why this country is in such a mess.

I currently live in a house that was bought for 230,000 and is not worth less than 130,000. The house is under my boyfriends name. We want to move and could not even get close to the 160000 he owes on the mortgage, if even getting it to sell at all in this market. I am not willing to wait the 5 years or so to just break even. Unless we got a loan modification we couldn’t even rent it for close to what the monthly mortgage is. We are thinking of stopping payments, saving that amount each month, and waitng to be kicked out. Seeing as how it could take a while, this could be a big savings. Then I can buy a house in my name. His credit will be ruined, but right now we would sell and be down 40,000. Short sale would ruin his credit for a while anyway. I know this is immoral. I am usually responsible but we have been paying our mortgage and only getting screwed. We just wnat to move and get on with our life. Any comments/suggestions on this plan?

Katie, my wife and I are in the same position.Here in Az are house is upside down about 80,000. We have a home equity loan to get my wife through school, and at the time the bank appraised the house an extra 25,000 at the time, but I didn’t want to be upside down if we needed to sell so I took 25k less on the loan. HaHa, look at where we are at now, still 80,000 upside down. I wish now I would have taken the extra 25k. I have a lot more career options in another city right now, but can’t move because of this house. I am renting it out right now, but renters are always late, and I still have to carry $600 extra to cover the mortgage. We have always believed in paying our bills, but have trouble swallowing the fact of having to stay here in Phoenix for another 7 seven years for the house to recover, while I watch my career slip away. Az is worse than Detroit right now. Its hard for me to feel sorry for banks right now after the payday they got. The same people, when things got tight, doubled and tripled peoples interest rates on their credit cards. Like another person in the forum said, maybe shouldn’t have ethics when it comes to business, which this is. I starting to believe this, but I am fighting it. Take a look at the unions. When UPS is up for contract, I bet they get some nasty negotiators in there, and when they don’t get what they want, they threaten to strike (British airways pilots on Christmas) nothing personal, just business. Maybe, I need to get nasty to, but its hard to bring myself to it. So I am just getting by right now, trying to figure it out like you. Good Luck

Ps: I know I am not alone, but writing this helped vent alittle

Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply. Surprise surprise, we are in Phoenix too. Sounds like a similar situation. Wanting to move to midwest and not wanting to be held down by a house that I don’t really like in the first place. :) Just looked on zillow.com and a house in our neighborhood that zillow says is worth 110,000 just sold a few months ago for 75,000. Ridiculous. Frustrating. We are in the same situation with renting. My bf did get ahead on his last house when the market was too good, so we can’t complain about some of the loss, but there is no way we can get close to the 1200 a month owed if we tried to rent it. Right now trying to decide if I should but time and some money into painting, landscaping, etc. to try to get it sellable, or just throw in the towel. Keep me posted if you make any decisions. And yes, half the country feels like us, and it is good to vent. I wouldn’t be so unhappy if i was just happy staying in the house for a few years.

. And all its going to do is keep bringing down home prices. So the new home you get into will soon be upside down to. Thats why our country is a mess because know one wants a upside down house.I think if you dont really care about your credit anyway why not do a bankrupty get rid of the house and all your debt then in 2 years you can get a loan a buy a new house and start over. Most home loans will give you a loan after your discharged 2-3 years depending on the loan co. Home prices are going to keep going down for several more years I wouldnt invest in a new home until it then.

We bought our house for 405k in 04 and now it’s worth about 210k..We did a modification with our mortgage holder. It took almost a year, one denied notice and 3k for a lawyer to help negotiate. Well the outcome was our payment went from interest only to a 4% P&I which only brought our payment down $85.00. The only reason we even did the modification was that I injured myself at work and had to retire with half my income. Now we are wondering if we should just walk away. We are almost 60 years old and the prospect of waiting 3 years before we can buy again is depressing. The only thing is that the wonderful government who says they want to help will slap you with taxes from the sale of your foreclosed home even if you did not get any money out of the sell. We were one of those people who could afford our home but never thought we would be in this situation. What to do is the number one topic of the day for us and we still don’t want to be the kind of people who walk away from our responsibilities. Time is not on our side and neither is our government. Obama is a joke and the bail out was a sell out!!

It’s true that if there’s a way to manipulate the policies of purchasing a property, people will figure it out. Yes, the economy has gone down and that affects the real estate market, but I believe most people can afford their mortgages and buy and bail for the sole fact that their payments will go significantly down. Imagine how much faster the market would recover if there was a strict legal penalty that was always followed through on people who buy and bail.

They hit a bump in the road and have no wiggle room. Loan underwriters are wise to the buy and bail even when the seller is putting 20% down on their new purchase. Homeowners in a severely upside down equity situation have limited options, and I’m afraid things are going to get worse before they get better.

I wonder if this is possible in The Netherlands, good think we don’t have creditscores here. You only need to show a pay check of atleast 1500 euro’s, so that it shows you can afford the costs.

I would say that the buy and bail loophole will be quickly closed. It is just not worth ruining your credit unless you are SEVERELY under water. I try to have the best Palos Verdes real estate website in my area and would discourage clients against this tactic. Very provacative topic. Love it !

This is quite possibly one of the most reckless things a homeowner could do when facing an underwater mortgage or foreclosure. One actual LEGAL alternative is to try to get your bank to agree on a short sale. A short sale is selling the house in full for an amount less than the original mortgage. This is often agreed upon when the current house value is significantly less than the mortgage amount. Both sides win in this situation. The homeowner gets out of a money pit, and the bank avoid being stuck with a house to sell.

Loan Modification Nevada
July 30th, 2011 at 9:23 am

Seeking a permanent change in the terms of your loan requires timely, tactful, yet assertive communication with the lender. You will need to convince the bank that this process is necessary to avoid foreclosure and loan modification nevada can certainly help, which would cost the lender more money than would be lost by lowering your interest rate. However, banks make their money from interest, so having a lawyer on your side for guidance gives you the best chance against a lender who has strict policies surrounding the reinstatement of loans.

I have heard of this but it doesnt sound as simple as they make it. My mother passed away & I wanted to move out of state to help my father who is ill also. I am underwater by about $68,000 and wanted to build on a piece of land my parents gave me. It sounded like a good plan as I dont have the down payment for a new mortgage & the land would serve as collateral for the down. I was going to rent my home & pull in rental income for 2 years as I was told by the banks that if you have a mortgage and try to get another one the banks require 2 years rental “income” in order for the 1st mortgage pymnt to not be counted against you when qualifying for the new loan. Anyway – in that two years of renting I could get my debt down considerably. Now with mom gone not sure if I want to build & be a homeowner at my age or be a landlord! Worked my a** off for 13 years to rebuild my credit after a messy divorce & abandonment situation so I am trying to preserve my credit but it doesnt look like that will happen!

Don’t take this article seriously. You’d be trading one bad can of worms for another. If you do further research, you can see that banks can put a lien on your new home or even force a sale, may be able to garnish wages, your other assets, etc.

Here’s my predicament. Me and my husband purchased a home in 2006. We busted our butts to get it all together. My husband had a spinal cord tumor and after multiple surgeries as our main bread winner was forces to take permanet disabilty. It took 3 years, but with his back pay we got enough together to buy a very modest home that needed a lot of work, and we could afford it on his income alone. Not a big deal, but my health started to decline 2 years ago and I kept taking less hours at work and then lost my job all together after using 12 weeks of federal FMLA leave. I am unable to work now either. We did fine at first. I have private disabilty insurance that my employer provided and we have gotten by fine, we have made every payment and we struggle, but we have food, clothes and everything we need (Here’s the problem) The home we purchased is in need of a lot of work that neither me nor my husband can physically do and we have absolutely no funds to make the improvements that we have been holding off on since my health started to decline. We bought this house from a house flipping company who financed it for us until we could get a traditional mortgage which we did. We got screwed in several ways. We paid less initially because we were going to do all the work, 2 months after we moved in the city started a HUGE road work project infront of our home, several of our neighbors sold for huge losses and that affected the value the bank put on our home when we worked our traditional mortgage that was going to give us the money needed to finish up our renovating. I am now sitting in a home that I can’t complete that is killing us in heating bills due to terrible windows, no central air because that went out too. I could go on for days on all that needs done. I am handy and if physically able, we would have this house done one way or the other. Our credit is mediocre as with the massive amount of medical bills my hubby accrued with his tumor surgeries (even with insurance) we filed for bankruptcy and still got everything together and fixed our credit enough to purchase this home. I don’t want to take the hit of a forclosure. Anyone out there that can send some advice my way other than to just let it go? We have homes on the market in gorgeous neighborhoods here that I would be proud to own, with minimal maintenance for me and my husband to take care of, but I got to figure out what to do with this piece of crap. I am proud that we have not gone into forclosure and made all our mortgage payments on time. We are a one car family and we NEVER buy things we can’t afford. We don’t even have credit cards. So everything is cash or layaway in this home. I want to move real bad. I am pretty sure most folks wouldn’t have held out this long. Any suggestions? I will listen to anything at this point. Thanks

Anyone who thinks this is a “great” idea needs to rethink that. You are committing fraud. Depending on your state the bank can go after your other home to recoup their losses and put a lien on it. They can garnish your wages, etc. Not only will your credit suffer, you could spend time in jail, lose your other home and be much worse off than you were before trying to “beat the system.” It’s unbelievable that someone would post a site encouraging this, but also unbelievable that so many would think it is such a great idea.
