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

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.

The Pavilion at Port Orange


Out and About
Our trips to The Pavilion at Port Orange

On Wednesday, we went to Red Robin to enjoy our free birthday burger ( just sign up for their Red Royalty Club card). After some tough decision making, we chose the Whiskey River BBQ Burger and the Banzai Burger. These gourmet burgers are hugh, juicy and delicious and are served with bottomless fries ( we swapped for sweet potato fries).

On Thursday, Hollywood Theaters was our destination to see Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides 3D. We loved the other movies in this series and this one is just as good as the first. (When you go you must stay through the credits to enjoy one final scene--it will make you laugh).
I was checking out Hollywood Theaters website and found that they are having a free family fun series every Wednesday at 10 a.m. from June 1st- Aug. 17th. You can't beat fun and FREE when it comes to keeping the kids busy during the summer.

On Saturday, we went to the Green Market, located in the Central Park area. We thought this would be the last time because the market was scheduled to end June 4th, but fortunately it has become an all year event. (Every Saturday 8a.m.-1p.m.). We love walking around looking at the different items the vendors have for sell and listening to the live music. Last stop the farmers market area. We picked up some great looking produce, at great prices and had a friendly chat with the people at Sam Sue Produce.

The Pavilion has lots to offer ( I haven't even mentioned the stores), we will be back next week at least once.Visit one of my websites at http://selldaytona.com/ or http://www.venetianbay.org/

Not sure what to do in the Daytona Beach area try Inlet Harbor Restaurant & Marina in Ponce Inlet

Not sure what to do in the Daytona Beach area try Inlet Harbor Restaurant & Marina in Ponce Inlet.
At the marina we went to explore The Replica Ships: Nina & Pinta. These two "sailing museums" are the most historically accurate replicas ever built.
You are allowed to walk around on the decks and envision the journey to the New World with 20-26 fellow crew members. Hopefully you like these other sailors because there is no personal space.
These ships will be in the marina until May 8th (Mother's Day) .
In the restaurant, we ordered the flavorful Mahi Mahi sandwich with fries and a pickle. But, Inlet Harbor has the best crab cakes so we just had to also order one these mouthwatering delights.
Our day: delectable and enticing making Inlet Harbor's slogan truly "The Place to Go!"
