Bank of America Relocation Assistance for Short Sales

Florida Enhanced Short Sale Relocation Assistance
Florida homeowners may receive $5,000 to $20,000
in relocation assistance.

Bank of America encourages distressed homeowners to explore a short sale as a viable option for avoiding foreclosure. To that end, for a limited time we are offering enhanced relocation assistance to help motivate homeowners to engage with us on a pre-offer short sale. An additional benefit for these pre-offer programs - such as the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) and Bank of America's proprietary program - is that deficiency may be waived for the homeowner.

Eligibility:
Homeowners with property in Florida
Short sales initiated without an offer between September 26 and November 30
The customer will have to be eligible for one of the without offer programs such as the HAFA program or our proprietary program (specific investor participation and eligibility criteria do apply to these programs)
Successful closing of the eligible short sale by August 31, 2012
Minimum relocation assistance is $5,000 and maximum is $20,000, with the specific amount calculated based on the unpaid principal balance

Exclusions:
Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA loans are ineligible for participation
Lot loans are ineligible for participation
Properties outside the state of Florida are ineligible for participation
Short sales initiated with an offer are not currently eligible for the enhanced relocation assistance.

Call Bill Hellums, Realtor (386) 760 7607 for more information on the short sale of your home.

Sunshine Automotive of Port Orange

Our son found himself in need of a new car last weekend. His (20+ year old) car had caught on fire and was no longer drivable so he borrowed one of ours. While out running errands one day, we stopped in to look at some used cars at Sunshine Automotive on US 1 in Port Orange. Now I hate working with car dealers, but here we found the dealer polite, helpful, and with a no pressure approach. The prices were very fair. The cars were very clean and well checked out. The time there looking around and test driving one was very pleasant. We found several nice cars. We were very interested in, one more so than the others. The price was shockingly low, and the dealer said it was because it had "issues". The owner of the lot walked by and said "I won't sell you that car". He then explained that issue was a wiring problem and that it could be a fire hazard. We had to laugh to ourselves and told him we didn't need that.
We sent our son the website (www.sunshineautomotive.com), and on Saturday we returned to Sunshine Automotive, he drove a few cars, we even checked out another dealership, but returned to Sunshine. The choice was made and the price was so fair there was no haggling. While the paper work was being taken care of, the owner sat down with us to just talk and to make sure we were happy. He said that he didn't just want to sell us a car, but hoped to make us lifetime customers.
He has.
