<p>There have been many attempts by federal and state governments to bring  the housing crisis to a close and get the real estate market moving  again. Some have attempted to prevent foreclosures so that people dont  lose their homes. Others have encouraged the purchase of homes. The  latest scheme aims to move foreclosures through the system more quickly  by encouraging short sales. All of these areas should be addressed, but  only in ways that will encourage the results we need. Many say that providing financial assistance to those who have made  bad choices is unfair. Theres some truth to that. But were all in this  economy together and everyone is suffering. We need to invest in those  key areas that have the potential to turn things around. At the same  time, we dont want to encourage the bad choices that have gotten us into  this mess. Unfortunately thats exactly what some of the current plans are  doing. Many people who bought homes they couldnt afford by financing  them with stated <a id="KonaLink0" href="http://www.thefuturemagazine.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #009900;">income</span></a> loans are living in their homes for free for months or even years.  Meanwhile, mortgage companies are losing <a href="http://www.thefuturemagazine.com/credit/easy-way-to-repair-your-credit/" target="_self"><span style="color: #009900;">money</span></a> with  each day that goes by. In spite of the fact that they signed a contract  to repay the amount they borrowed plus interest, many homeowners feel no  qualms about walking away and leaving the lender holding the bag.<span id="more-325"></span></p>
<p>Lets look at some of the areas where government intervention can  help. First up is foreclosures. Nobody wants families to lose their  homes. It absolutely makes sense to prevent that in the cases where it  can be prevented. Pennsylvania has a loan program that seems to be  working. Whats their secret? Theyre making loans to people who can pay  them back. There are many homeowners out there who can almost keep it  together. Theyve lost their job, but they have a reasonable expectation of  finding a new one. They have managed their money wisely, not racking up  thousands of dollars of credit card debt. By loaning only to people who  are likely to repay the loans, Pennsylvania has minimized the cost of  the program to taxpayers. Even more importantly, though, theyve applied  those dollars only to situations that have a good chance of success. Homeowners who havent made mortgage payments or paid property taxes  for two years are not likely to catch up if you just give them more  time. Were only delaying the inevitable, costing banks thousands of  dollars each month. Loan modifications are a good idea, but so far lenders havent  embraced that plan. Here again, we should encourage lenders financially  to modify loans in cases where the borrower has a good chance of keeping  current on their new payments.</p>
<p>The next area to look at is the huge shadow inventory. These are all  the homes that are not yet foreclosed by the bank. If there is no way  to save a familys home with a plan that will work in the long run, its  time to move these foreclosures through the process. Many homeowners are  trying to sell their homes as short sales. In a short sale, the  homeowner finds a buyer and the lender agrees to accept a reduced amount  as payment in full. The homeowner escapes with his credit intact and  the lender gets the bad loan off their books. Unfortunately, lenders  arent embracing this plan either. As they drag their feet and fail to  approve short sales, these homes just remain part of the shadow  inventory. Its gotten so bad in many hard hit cities that theres very  little inventory of homes that are available for the buyers who are  willing and able. President Obamas latest plan offers $1,000 to the loan servicer and  $1,500 for the seller for each successful short sale. Sellers are  already willing to sell their home via a short sale, with just the  promise of getting out from under their mortgage without destroying  their credit. The $1,500 is not going to do any good. The $1,000 for the  loan servicers is a good idea, but is it enough? Loan servicers dont  have the staff to process all the short sales. Any incentive should be  enough for them to hire the help and still <a id="KonaLink2" href="http://www.thefuturemagazine.com/credit/easy-way-to-repair-your-credit/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #009900;">make money</span></a>. Otherwise its not worth the effort  for them. Maybe a similar incentive for deeds in lieu of foreclosure  would be successful. The last piece of the puzzle is getting buyers to buy again. Tax  credits have been offered to first-time and move-up homebuyers. These,  combined with unbelievably low interest rates, will get some buyers to  buy a home sooner rather than later. But the fundamental change in  supply and demand that would take place if the shadow inventory was  reduced would do more to encourage would-be buyers. And it wouldnt cost  so much tax money. As distasteful as it sounds, the problem caused by some has become  the problem of all. We must used government funded incentives at key  pressure points, most of which would help those who made unwise  decisions. Thats the only way to get the residential real estate market  back on track for everyone.</p>
