CFD 048 - Tina Hartman and Marlene Waterhouse Throw a Lifeline to Underwater Homeowners and Prepare Us for a New Storm in the Market

Published: Feb. 10, 2014, 4 p.m.

Continuing in our celebration of entrepreneurs, J. Massey interviews Tina Hartman and Marlene Waterhouse, Orange County, California, business owners in the real estate arena. In short, these individuals solve problems and help homeowners who are underwater in their homes. Tina and Marlene started on their journey as real estate investors who worked in short sales. Then they started working with agents to process their short sales from start to finish. What we learn in this episode is that there’s nothing “short” in the short sale process and paperwork! We also learn about trends in the housing market and what we need to know as investors moving forward about loan modifications, new problems homeowners may encounter and what 2014 means to a whole lot of homeowners who took out HELOCs. Even if you are not an investor but you own a home, pay a mortgage and may feel financially distressed in your property, you will want to listen to this episode.
