As the Mortgage Debt Relief Act expires, distressed homeowners are running out of time

Lihue, Hawaii  – August 31, 2012 – Distressed homeowners in Kauai will soon no longer be able to take advantage Mortgage Debt Relief Act. The law, enacted in 2007, helps distressed homeowners by relieving them of additional tax responsibility that often accompanies cancelled or forgiven debt.

“For many homeowners, even if the bank agreed to cancel or lessen their debt, they were unable to afford the extra taxes that they owed” says Ron Margolis, REALTOR(B) and CDPE of Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers . “In many cases, the additional taxes would equal tens of thousands of dollars. It was like trading one unmanageable debt for another,” Margolis added.

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act has provided opportunity for millions of distressed homeowners in the marketplace to take advantage of short sales or loan modifications without worrying how these actions will affect their future finances. The law is set to expire and time is running short for homeowners with unaffordable mortgage to take advantage of its benefits.
