    What is a Short Sale?

    The home may be over-leveraged or underwater

    The seller may behind on payments and cannot sell for high enoughto cover what is owed plus other required fees to close.

    Lenders created short sales as a foreclosure alternative

    Lenders would rather allow sellers to short sale versus foreclosing.

    Foreclosing on properties costs lenders money

    . There is more debt owed against a property than thepropertys value. In a loan default situation, (pre-

    foreclosure) the creditor(s) may be willing to agree toallow the property to be sold for less than the loan

    amount and/or accept less than (or short) the amount

    owed as payment in full.________________________________

    AN IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT POOL SAFETY*

    Drowning is a serious threat to young children in Arizona. Young children also suffer from ahigh number of near drownings that may lead to permanent, severe disability. Most of these incidents occur in thechild's own backyard swimming pool. These tragedies must be stopped. To that end, the Arizona legislature has

    passed a law requiring that new occupants of dwellings with pools, and persons having a pool installed, receive

    this safety message about steps to prevent drownings and the legal responsibilities of pool ownership.

    State of Arizona law requires a barrier between the house and pool.**

    This law applies to homes with both a child under6 years of age and a pool built after June 1, 1991. This law aims to

    impede children's access to their own pool. Likewise, all pools must have a barrier to keep out uninvited neighborhood

    children.

    Unless a local code provides otherwise***, the barrier must:

    Entirely enclose the pool area.

    Be at least 5 feet high, measured on the outside of the barrier.

    Not have openings, handholds or footholds that can be used to climb the barrier. Wire mesh or chain link

    fences shall have a maximum mesh size of 1 , inches measured horizontally.

    Have no openings through which a sphere 4 inches in diameter can pass. Horizontal components of any

    barrier shall be spaced not less than 45 inches apart measured vertically, or shall be placed on the poolsideof the barrier, which shall have no opening greater than 1 inches measured horizontally.

    Be at least 20 inches from the water's edge.

    Prevent direct access from the houseto the pool.Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch located at least 54 inches above the ground or on the

    poolside with a release mechanism at least 5 inches below the top of the gate and no opening greater than inch within

    24 inches of the release mechanism, or be secured by a padlock or similar devise which requires a key, electronic

    opener or integral combination, which can have the latch at any height. Gates must open outward from the pool.

    If a wall of the home forms part of the barrier one of the following must be used:

  • 8/3/2019 Buyers Inital Meeting Packet

    13/30

    Supervision is the key to prevent drownings.

    Never leave children unsupervised in the pool or inside the pool area - not even for a second!

    Inform guests to your home of the importance of closely watching children around water. At parties, make

    sure someone is always watching the children around the pool.

    Don't count on barrier to keep children from reaching the pool. No barrier is foolproof Harriers only slow achild's access to the pool.

    In case of emergency, act immediately!

    1. Shout for help.2. Pull the child out of the water.3. Take the child to the phone and dial 911 (or the local emergency numbers) for help.

    4. Check airway and breathing. If needed, start CPR immediately. CPR can save lives and prevent seriousinjury.

    Other smart tips to protect children around water:

    DON'T:

    Don't keep toys tricycles or other playthings in the pool area. Also, remove items that a child could use toclimb ova the barrier.

    Don't be distracted by phone calls, doorbells, or chores while children are in the pool.

    Your full attention should be on the children.

    Don't rely on swimming lessons or "floaties" to protect your children

    Why a Buyer Needs a Home Inspection

    A home inspection gives the buyer more detailed information about the overall condition of the home priorto purchase. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potentialnew home to:

    aaEvaluate the physical condition: structure, construction, and mechanical systems;aIdentify items that need to be repaired or replaced; andaEstimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure, and finishes.

    Appraisals are Different from Home Inspections An appraisal is different from a home inspection. Appraisals are for lenders; home inspections are for buyers.An appraisal is required to:

    aEstimate the market value of a house;aMake sure that the house meets FHA minimum property standards/requirements; andaMake sure that the property is marketable.

    PHOENIX-GOODYEAR AIRPORT(NORTH) SUPERFUND SITE

    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency $ Region 9 $ San Francisco, CA

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released adocument entitled, Engineering Evaluation/CostAnalysis (EE/CA) for Perchlorate Treatment, Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (PGA) North Superfund Site,Goodyear, Arizona. The EPA developed the EE/CA re-port as the first step in a non-time critical removal action

    to address perchlorate contamination in extracted ground-water at the PGA North Superfund Site (Site).

    The EE/CA report provides information about the natureand extent of contamination and the related risks. Theprimary contaminants of concern associated with the Site

    Site Description andBackgroundThe former Unidynamics/Phoenix, Inc. (UPI) facility is

    located on approximately 58 acres in Goodyear, MaricopaCounty, Arizona, approximately 17 miles west of down-town Phoenix. The physical boundaries of the UPI facilityare Van Buren Street to the north, Litchfield Road to theeast, a vacant field to the south and Union Pacific Railroadtracks to the west. The Site lies in the West Basin of theSalt River Valley.

    The Site consists of an area of contaminated groundwaterthat encompasses approximately two square miles andoriginates at the former UPI facility. Active operationstook place at the facility from 1963 to 1994, includingmanufacturing and testing mechanical and electrical com-ponents used in defense and aerospace applications. Theprimary operations at the plant included manufacturingrocket propellant, processing and blending powder, assem-

    bling ordnance, machining, testing explosives and ballisticsand related functions. Perchlorate is the primary chemicalingredient of solid rocket propellant. Historical recordsindicate that potassium perchlorate and ammonium per-chlorate were associated with wastes disposed at the UPIfacility.

    In 1981 the Arizona Department of Health Services

    Following a detailed review of technologies for perchlorateremoval, the EE/CA considers the following four removalaction alternatives for the PGA North site:

    $ Alternative 1 No Action. This consists of no ac-

    tion being taken, not even monitoring. EPA is re-quired to evaluate this option for comparison pur-poses.

    $ Alternative 2 Ion Exchange (EPAs Preferred Al-ternative). A resin material (similar to smallbeads) is packed into large vessels and used to cap-ture perchlorate from the groundwater. This alter-native is preferred because the technology is effec-tive; it is being implemented at the site in a full-scale pilot test; and it has a relatively low cost.

    $ Alternative 3 Tailored Liquid Phase GranularActivated Carbon. This alternative uses a spe-cially-coated carbon packed into a large vessel toabsorb the perchlorate from the groundwater.

    $

    Alternative 4 Ex-Situ Biotreatment. This alter-native uses a bioreactor in which the perchlorate isreduced to chloride and oxygen under anaerobicconditions.

    Based on a favorable balance of the evaluation criteria pre-sented in the EE/CA report, EPA prefers the implementa-tion of Alternative 2. Compared to the other three alter-

    GLOSSARY

    Aquifer is an underground geologic formation containing groundwater.

    Groundwater is the supply of water found below the ground surface, usually in an aquifer.

    Ion Exchange is a treatment technology used to remove perchlorate and other inorganic contaminants

    from groundwater. The technology uses small beads packed into a large vessel through which

    water passes.

    Ex Situ refers to treatment of groundwater that takes place above ground rather than in place or in

    situ.

    National Priorities List (NPL) is EPAs list of the most serious uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous

    waste sites identified for possible long-term remedial action under Superfund. The list is basedprimarily on the score a site receives from the Hazard Ranking System. A site must be on the NPL

    to receive money from Superfund for remedial action.

    Non-time Critical Removal Action is a short-term action with a planning period of more than six

    months prior to the start of on-site activities. This differs from Time Critical Removal Actions, which

    is typically used to respond to urgent situations.

    Perchlorate is a component of ammonium perchlorate and other inorganic salts used in rockets and

    other applications.

    Record of Decision (ROD) is a public document that explains which cleanup alternative(s) will be used

    at National Priorities List sites where, under CERCLA, Superfund pays for the cleanup.

    Removal Action is the short-term immediate actions taken to address releases of hazardous

    substances that require expedited response.

    Thinking of Making an Offer on a Short Sale? What You Need to Know

    Are you looking to buy a new home? Are you thinking that now's a great time to find bargains? That's true, but it paysto know a little about the seller's situation before you make an offer.

    If a home is being sold for below what the current seller owes on the propertyand the seller does not have otherfunds to make up the difference at closingthe sale is considered a short sale. Many more home owners are findingthemselves in this situation due to a number of factors, including job losses, aggressive borrowing against their homein the days of easy credit, and declining home values in a slower real estate market.

    A short sale is different from a foreclosure, which is when the seller's lender has taken title of the home and is sellingit directly. Homeowners often try to accomplish a short sale in order to avoid foreclosure. But a short sale holds manypotential pitfalls for buyers. Know the risks before you pursue a short-sale purchase.

    You're a good candidate for a short-sale purchase if:

    You're very patient. Even after you come to agreement with the seller to buy a short-sale property, thesellers lender (or lenders, if there is more than one mortgage) has to approve the sale before you can close.When there is only one mortgage, short-sale experts say lender approval typically takes about two months.If there is more than one mortgage with different lenders, it can take four months or longer for the lenders toapprove the sale.

    Your financing is in order. Lenders like cash offers. But even if you cant pay all cash for a short-saleproperty, its important to show you are well qualified and your financing is set. If you're preapproved, have alarge down payment, and can close at any time, your offer will be viewed more favorably than that of a buyerwhose financing is less secure.

    You dont have any contingencies. If youhave a home to sell before you can close on the purchase of theshort-sale propertyor you need to be in your new home by a certain timea short sale may not be for you.Lenders like no-contingency offers and flexible closing terms.

    Potential for rejection. Lenders want to minimize their losses as much as possible If you make an offer

  • 8/3/2019 Buyers Inital Meeting Packet

    22/30

    Potential for rejection. Lenders want to minimize their losses as much as possible. If you make an offertremendously lower than the fair market value of the home, chances are that your offer will be rejected andyoull have wasted months. Or the lender could make a counteroffer, which will lengthen the process.

    Bad terms. Even when a lender approves a short sale, it could require that the sellers sign a promissorynote to repay the deficient amount of the loan, which may not be acceptable to some financially desperatesellers. In that case, the sellers may refuse to go through with the short sale. Lenders also can change anyof the terms of the contract that youve already negotiated, which may not be agreeable to you.

    No repairs or repair credits.You will most likely be asked to take the property as is. Lenders are alreadytaking a loss on the property and may not agree to requests for repair credits.

    The risks of a short sale are considerable. But if you have the time, patience, and iron will to see it through, a shortsale can be a win-win for you and the sellers.
