NJ foreclosures facing statute of limitations

From DS News:

Delinquent Loans May Still Face Foreclosure After Exceeding Statutes of Limitations

High-end estimates of loan-level delinquency timelines show that approximately 98,000 seriously delinquent mortgage loans may be facing some degree of exposure to foreclosure statutes of limitations in Florida, New Jersey, and New York—three of the states that were hit hardest by the foreclosure crisis, according to Black Knight Financial Services’ January 2016 Mortgage Monitor released Monday.

The courts are currently deliberating in those three states discussing the specifics of how the statues of limitations laws apply to foreclosures. In Florida, the foreclosure statute of limitations applies to mortgages that are five years or more overdue, while in New York and New Jersey, it applies to mortgages that are six or more years past due.

According to Black Knight, Florida has the largest volume of loans facing possible exposure to statutes of limitations with roughly 40,000, despite experiencing a 38 percent reduction over the past 12 months. For New York and New Jersey, the number of such loans is currently 35,000 and 22,000, respectively, after both experienced increases over the previous 12 months due to “limited resolution in severely delinquent loan populations” in both states, Black Knight reported.

“Without taking into account additional carrying costs and/or fees incurred by mortgage servicers, Black Knight estimates the current potential unpaid principal balance (UPB) risk exposure in these three states at approximately $30 billion, concentrated primarily in private-label securities,” Black Knight stated in the report. “As it stands today, roughly $1 out of every $10 of principal in private-label securitizations in these three states is tied to a mortgage that is more than five years delinquent in Florida or more than six years delinquent in New York and New Jersey.”

According to Black Knight, 37 percent of the loans that are more than five years delinquent in Florida are not actively involved in foreclosure, which depending on court rulings, potentially presents additional risk. For New York and New Jersey, the share of loans more than six year delinquent but not actively in foreclosure are 22 percent and 21 percent, respectively.

    I wonder if some of the delays are caused by the home owners disappearing, making it difficult for the banks to serve proper notices.

    I walked away from a sale when the bank could only offer a quitclaim deed as they could not find the owner of the home.

  5. grim says:

    Suspect that many of these properties would go right back into foreclosure due to tax lien sales.

    Watch as the State of NJ shifts pension obligations onto the counties and municipalities. You’ll see. Each jurisdiction will be sent a bill, and it will be up to the municipalities to pay the piper.

    You’ll see, quote me, save this post.

    It will play out in the form of a “Special Assessment” on property holders, and it will apply to everyone, including age restricted housing, non-profits, religious organizations, state/federal operating within a municipality, properties previously provided with PILOTs. It will likely be a multi-year special assessment based on property value, taken as part of your municipal, county, and school taxes.

    Mark my words.

    From the Record:

    NJ nursing homes’ tax status examined

    Now that a dozen towns around New Jersey have sued their non-profit hospitals for property-tax payments, some nursing homes are in the cross hairs of municipal officials eager for new revenue sources. North Bergen, for example, targeted both its local hospital and the hospital-owned nursing home next door — the Harborage — in a lawsuit filed last month in state Tax Court.

    The nursing home industry, which often functions with tight financial margins, feels vulnerable now that a landmark case involving Morristown Medical Center’s property-tax exemption has opened up the possibility that other non-profits could face potential property taxes, or demands by their municipalities for payments in lieu of taxes.

    “Where do you draw the line?” asked Michele Kent, executive director of LeadingAge New Jersey, which represents non-profit nursing homes. “Where do the dominoes stop falling? … You could take this out to the entire panoply of thousands of non-profits throughout the state. It seems to pull the rug out from the whole concept of non-profit work.”

    Most non-profit nursing homes don’t compare in size or scale to hospitals, she said. The 56 members of her association tend to be small facilities that were founded by religious or philanthropic organizations to fulfill their missions, she said.

    Instead of lawsuits, one plan would protect nursing homes from property taxes, but require some of them — along with the state’s non-profit hospitals — to pay fees to their municipalities.

    State Sen. Nicholas Sacco — who as North Bergen’s mayor voted in favor of the suit against the Harborage — is expected to introduce legislation today that would require nursing homes owned by hospitals to pay community-service fees in lieu of property taxes.

    Sacco’s bill would protect the property-tax exemption those institutions enjoy, but subject them to annual payments to offset the cost of police and fire protection or lower property taxes for others.

    21 – appears to be nearly identical plans to my house, rooflines and all, with the exception of the garage entry being from the rear as opposed to the side, and maybe one or two minor items. Looking at the date it was built, and the fact that it’s really just over the hill – I’m guessing the same builder.

  21. grim says:

    re# 21 – Busy corner on two busy roads, lots of accidents perhaps.

    Abama’s Farm is still there too, I spoke to the owner once he refuses to sell out,the family has been there a few generations.

  23. Fast Eddie says:

    Juice,

    They’ll sell eventually. I can’t imagine the score the DiPero (sp?) family made on that farm up in Montvale. There are muppets to fleece using 3800 sq. ft. sh1t boxes made of Chinese sheetrock, Home Depot cabinets and Acme infrastructure on 5000 sq. foot plots!

  24. Juice Box says:

    re # 25 – Article from last year.

    “Many farmers have taken the bait: Statewide, the last 64 years have seen the number of farms shrink from 25,000, to 9,071. Bergen County has only 60 left; Passaic County, 78. But the remaining farmers insist they are here to stay.”

    So the farmland assessment program has largely been a failure? Except for those who game the system, of course.

    I suspect farmland preservation, in contrast, has been a success, but most fake farmers aren’t interested in deeding away their development rights.

  26. grim says:

    None of NJ’s urban farms are actually real farms, they are farm-like retail destinations, which operate farming as part of their eco-tourism value prop. The majority of their revenues are from products sold at retail, and not grown or produced on site. Pumpkin picking, hay rides, christmas trees, farm animal zoos, landscaping plants, materials, kitchy shit, OPP (other people’s produce), meat, 347 different types of jam, etc etc. Not saying this is bad, or that it’s not positive, or that the open space isn’t good, but let’s just call it what it is.

    Admiral Percy Fitzwallace: I’m an old black man and I wait on the President.

    Leo McGarry: The kid’s got to carry his bags and…

    Admiral Percy Fitzwallace: You going to pay him a decent wage?

    Leo McGarry: Yeah.

    Admiral Percy Fitzwallace:
    You going to treat him with respect in the workplace?
    Leo McGarry: Yeah.

    Admiral Percy Fitzwallace: Then why the hell should I care?

    Leo McGarry: That’s what I thought.

    Admiral Percy Fitzwallace: I got some real honest-to-god battles to fight, Leo. I don’t have time for the cosmetic ones.”

  37. rentinginNJ says:

    Possibly, but a much simpler way to do it would be for the state to lift the 2% cap then cut the cr^p out of aid to the municipalities, using the money instead for pensions, which would give the towns little choice but to raise taxes.
    Those red light $aftey cameras will be making a comeback too, as cities start looking for ways to offset cuts from the state.

  40. grim says:

    41 – Too much politics in that, nobody is going to be associated dropping the cap and being directly responsible for increasing property taxes, instead, they’ll make up new schemes that aren’t called taxes and do the same thing.

  41. Ragnar says:

    If knocking out Trump end up letting Hillary in, I could live with that.
    People end up getting the government they deserve.
    The media is perpetuating a myth that Trump is super-popular with Republicans, and that only a cabal of “establishment insiders” are against him. The majority of Republicans have unfavorable opinions of him. Nominating someone other than Trump is something the majority of Republicans would favor.
    But since most of the media think that republicans are as crass and bombastic as Trump, they just find it hard to believe, and they are the ones falling for the Trump campaign’s propaganda that he’s the true choice of the Republicans-ex “establishment”.
    It is true that Trump wins among the subset of Republicans who are college dropouts or Klan members, which the media likely considers the “Republican base”.

  44. Libturd questioning the gender of Hillary's Cankle fluid. says:

    Nom,

    I think that piece only comes across as a hit piece if you truly believe Trump is a Republican. I’ll reiterate this again. Trump is a closet liberal. I’ve listened to him for the past twenty years or so as he’s a frequent guest on the Howard Stern Show. I do have to say, he came across sounding a hell of a lot more like Ed Koch than Charles or David Koch. He was definitely pro-choice and pretty much echoed most of Stern’s positions whenever the topic was brought up. And yes, sometimes Stern can be Islamophobic and anti-immigrant, but more of in a joking manner. Stern still plays the race card for laughs, which only the most sensitive and pussified take offense to. Trump plays the race card for political gain, which is actually dangerous. But I don’t think anyone should really fear Trump’s nationalism. He is a true master of saying what people like to hear. He’s entertaining, to say the least. But I wonder if his charisma over any real substance will hold over a length of time. We’ll see.

    All right…now for something that matters.

    Those here who know Gator and me, know that our younger son D, has had a speech delay. He was getting help through Early Intervention and more recently, qualified for special needs in the GR preschool program. He also had slight physical delays, but not too bad. Well about three months ago, we noticed D’s gait looked a bit off balance. At least, more than normal considering his physical delay. We shared this with his teachers and his pediatrician at his 3 year physical, but none were that concerned. Well, over the last three months, his balance worsened to the point where D would fall on occasion. About a month ago, D had an appointment with his Pediatric Development & Behavior special1st where I pointed out his balance issues and he fell and bumped his head (just slightly). He vomited a moment after that (first time D tossed his cookies in nearly two years). She didn’t seem concerned and D seemed fine. In the following week D’s balance worsened and he threw up a couple more times in the morning, right after he woke up. I took him to my Pediatrician to see if he had a virus or ear infection but no infection was found. We scheduled the D for an ENT appointment in about three weeks time. About a week later, D’s balance got so bad that I had to hold his hand for him to be able to walk without falling. He was also still vomiting about once per day. So back to the Pediatrician I went, and he got me a same day appointment at a Neurologist. The Neurologist couldn’t get us an MRI spot at St. Barnabas until this past Wednesday morning (about a week from our initial consult). Well Daniel’s balance issue seemed to go away for a day or two after the initial consult (I shared that here), but came back a couple of days later, so we obviously went through with it. Low and behold, our neurosurgeon was shaking when she told us the results, so we knew it was pretty bad before she even uttered her first word. D had a huge malignant brain tumor that required immediate removal, and it was surprising that he hadn’t slipped into a coma for his brains own protection. Well surgery went perfectly on Friday morning and the entire tumor was successfully removed. D is recovering perfectly and a spinal tap is next and then on to see if he needs a shunt or not. Pathology is not done, but he most likely had a Medulloblastoma. Needless to say, we have been living in the hospital for the past five days in the PICU. We will probably be here for another seven. Then a month of healing and a lot of chemo until D is a little older and can tolerate just a little radiation. We have consults with three cancer centers planned, so we are not sure where or what the program will be. We should know in about a week.

    Our support network in GR has been phenomenal and we are at peace with the future odds of a complete recovery and battle ahead. We are not looking for any sympathy either. Just wanted to fill you all in. Pray to whomever for the D and hug your kids when you get a chance. You never know if they are carrying around a tumor for two years or so.

    Bloomberg not running, puts the boot into Trump in the process.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/bloomberg-decides-against-third-party-000043324.html

    Bloomberg, in ending his third and likely final flirtation with a White House run, wrote that a three-way race could lead to no one winning a majority of electoral votes, which would send the race to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives — and, therefore, to one of the GOP front-runners.

    “That is not a risk I can take in good conscience,” Bloomberg wrote.

    Bloomberg was blistering in his critique of Trump, currently the GOP front-runner, saying the real estate mogul has run “the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember, preying on people’s prejudices and fears.”

    He was similarly critical of Cruz, saying the Texas senator’s “pandering on immigration may lack Trump’s rhetorical excess, but it is no less extreme.”
