Loan Servicer doesn’t follow VA Short Sale guidelines on a short sale of a VA Loan

Mahopac NY - We recently negotiated a short sale on a VA Loan. After the appraisal is complete and all the other necessary document have been received, VA guidelines state the loan servicer should give us an answer within 15 days.

The loan servicer took 65 days to give us an answer. That is a complete violation of VA’s requirements. “Oh, but that’s no big deal”, you might say.


It is a big deal, because VA (and every single US Taxpayer) loses money as a result.VA insures VA lenders against loss, provided they follow their guidelines.

VA is able to make an “educated bet” that they can issue these guarantees because they have laid out rules to control the lending and loan servicing environment. When the company servicing the loan doesn’t follow VA’s guidelines, it is no longer an “educated bet.”

Most short sales that get turned down and foreclosed upon sell for less as a foreclosure. That means VA loses even more money.

I can tell you from experience as aWestchester Short Sale Realtor that the 60 day turn around means that VA loses a lot more short sales to foreclosure.

But no one really cares because it almost a victimless crime. At least the victims don't care. The employees at VA don't get hurt because it's not their money.

The US Taxpayer already knows the government wastes money. The victim ends up being American's Veterans who don't have as much money in the VA Loan Program to use to buy a house.
