			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Entendiendo el programa HAFA. </strong><strong>En efecto 04/05/2010 a 12/31/2012</strong></p>
<p>Es posible que muchos propietarios de vivienda crean que ya no pueden hacer los pagos de su vivienda, pero deseen evitar los efectos negativos de una ejecución hipotecaria (Foreclosure). El Programa Alternativas de Ejecución Hipotecaria Home Affordable (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program, HAFA) ofrece a los propietarios de vivienda, a sus administradores hipotecarios y a los inversionistas un incentivo para llevar a cabo una venta corta (o una venta en descubierto) o una escritura en lugar de la ejecución hipotecaria. Con estas opciones disponibles conforme al HAFA, un propietario de vivienda deja su vivienda para poder realizar una transición a una vivienda más económica y aliviar la deuda hipotecaria que tiene. Estas opciones se encuentran disponibles para propietarios de vivienda que: 1. no califiquen para una modificación de prueba de la hipoteca en virtud del Programa Making Home Affordable; 2. no completen exitosamente el período de prueba para su modificación; 3. no realicen, al menos, dos pagos consecutivos durante su período de modificación; o 4. soliciten una venta corta o una escritura en lugar de la ejecución hipotecaria.</p>
<p><strong>Venta Corta o Venta en Descubierto</strong><br />
En una venta corta o una venta en descubierto, el administrador permite que el propietario de vivienda incluya la propiedad hipotecada en el listado de propiedades para la venta y que la venda, a sabiendas de que las ganancias netas de la venta pueden ser menores que la suma total adeudada en la hipoteca de primer grado.</p>
<p><strong>Escritura en lugar de ejecución hipotecaria</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Por lo general, si el deudor realiza un esfuerzo de buena fe por vender la propiedad pero no lo logra, un administrador puede considerar la posibilidad de una escritura en lugar de la ejecución hipotecaria. Con una escritura en lugar de una ejecución hipotecaria, el deudor transfiere voluntariamente la titularidad de la propiedad al administrador, siempre que el título esté libre de hipotecas, gravámenes y cargos.</p>
<p>El Programa HAFA optimiza ambas opciones para que le resulte más fácil a un propietario de vivienda trabajar junto con su administrador. En virtud del programa, un propietario de vivienda puede recibir $3,000 como ayuda para costos de reubicación.</p>
<p><strong>ADVERTENCIA</strong><br />
<strong> Tenga Cuidado con las Estafas de Rescate de Ejecución Hipotecaria – ¡La Ayuda es Gratis!</strong><br />
•	La asistencia proporcionada por su prestador o un consejero de vivienda aprobado por el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de E.E. U.U., (<a class="zem_slink" title="United States Department of Housing and Urban Development" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.88406,-77.02266&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=38.88406,-77.02266 (United%20States%20Department%20of%20Housing%20and%20Urban%20Development)&amp;t=h">HUD</a> por sus siglas en inglés) sobre el programa Making Home Affordable es totalmente gratuita.<br />
•	Tenga mucho cuidado con personas u organizaciones que le pidan dinero para darle asesoramiento o para modificarle un préstamo moroso. No pague &#8211; ¡Aléjese de esta persona!</p>
