Is a note valid if not signed by mortgage lender?

Yes.

The mortgage secures the debt. The note is simply a promise that you repay the money.

If you sign the note, then you are liable for the debt. The note is simply your promise to pay back the money you borrowed.

If you signed the mortgage, and you default on the promises and covenants of the note and mortgage, then the mortgagee (bank) has the right to foreclose on you. The default of mortgage payments are a breach of contract which allows the lender to foreclose on your home.

Buying a house or renting a house?

If you can buy, definitely do that. That way instead of paying rent, you're paying off your mortgage.

It depends on the relative cost of buying versus renting in your area. In many places it costs less on a monthly basis to buy a home than to rent one, but in some locales rent is very cheap compared to buying a house. In those places you might be better off renting and saving the additional money that would have gone towards the costs of buying. That money saved could be used to buy a better home at some point, perhaps in a cheaper city.

What is the assumption of arm's length transactions?

Business dealings between independent and rational parties who are looking out for their own interests.

Investopedia Says:

For example:

if two strangers are involved in the sale and purchase of a house, it is likely that the final agreed-upon price will be close to market value (assuming that both parties have equal bargaining power and equal information about the situation). This is because the seller would want a price that is as high as possible and the buyer would want a price that is as low as possible.

Loan modification help who should you contact?

1. Know how much your house is worth compared to what you owe. You want to know comps for your neighborhood, ask a local agent, or you use sources like Zillow online. Don't go by asking prices, look for sales data! Check your latest statement to see the remaining balance on your loan. If you have an outstanding home equity loan or line of credit add that to the mortgage balance.
Take the combined debt (mortgage plus any other liens) and divide that by the value of the home. This is your 'loan to value".
2. If you owe more than the home is worth, your next call should be to your mortgage servicer. You want to see if you are eligible under the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).
If your loan to value is 90% or less, most lenders and mortgage brokers will help you. Check out Bankrate for some good local options.
If you are the middle of that? Start with your current lender and work from there.

How do you protect your home from foreclosure?

How much should you charge for a foreclosure clean out?

Lawyers don't do foreclosure cleanups. Make sure your state laws don't require you to store items belonging to the mortgagor. The cleanup charges will depend on how much cleaning up is required and how many items of usable personal property you find that can be sold.

Don't trust foreclosure attorneys for legal advice. Their duty is to the bank or mortgage holder, not to you.

What if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity?

If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage. If the home equity mortgage is not paid, the lender can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.

What can happen if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity when selling your home?

You do not have the option of not paying off the home equity mortgage when you sell your home. The buyer's attorney has the legal obligation of clearing any liens on the property prior to the buyer taking title. Any unpaid mortgages will be paid from the proceeds of the sale before the net proceeds are paid over to you. If you owe more than the selling price that will impact the sale and must be resolved before the sale can take place.

If your house in foreclosure and is up for sale can it still be forclosed on by the lender?

Yes, the act of listing your home for sale will not stop or stall the foreclosure proceedings. Homes can be listed for sale for months and even years.

What happens to your personal property in home after foreclosure sale?

After the sale it is the property of the new owner. Of you have anythingthat you really treasure and didn't get out, you should ask the new owner. While he probably will ot give you anything of real value, they do not want your pictures and stuff. Perhaps offering to help clean up would be a fair trade for some possesions?

They have no obligation to allow you access to anything you did not get out prior to the sale.
