If you are a true environmentalist and want to help be part of or be the first to ever reclaim a lake, now is your chance. The first lake in the program is Lodi Lake in California. In the early sixties you could drink out of the lake and the flora and fauna flourished, now it is badly polluted with minimal life and it is periodically closed for swimming because of pollution. The plan is to reclaim the lake with a crew of ~10,000 in ~21 days and document it on film. When completed, it will be open and potable for the life of the planet.

LIST OF SHORT SALE TRANSACTIONS

Initiating a Short Sale

Most lenders require the seller to default on payments for at least three months (so they pay the penalty of a ding to their FICO score) before they will consider a discounted payoff to accommodate a short sale. A default in payments is the legal step taken by the owner to exercise the “put option” he holds a contract right inherent in all trust deed loans. The put option allows the owner to force the lender to buy the property through the foreclosure process (or consider a compromise) should the lender refuse a deed-in-lieu, loan cramdown, etc.

Cutoff Date

When a short sale occurs after December 31, 2012 on real estate encumbered by a recourse loan, the seller will incur a tax liability at ordinary income rates on the discount reported by the lender on an IRS 1099 Form, which is labeled discharge-of-indebtedness income.
