What is your system for setting and tracking your goals?
What did you accomplish in 2021? What are you proud of? What could you have done better?
What will 2022 bring? Will there be a spike in foreclosures? A spike in bankruptcies? A real estate bubble? Inflation?
In this week's episode of The Crushing Debt podcast, I talk about my successes in 2021 and how those can help you, plus my predictions for what 2022 will bring.
Hopefully, 2022 means increased support of our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance. If you know an attorney or title company that needs to shop its malpractice coverage, please let Sam know - Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.
Do you want to know more about how I set and track my annual goals? Do you agree with my 2022 predictions? Let me know at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.
Did you know that a HELOC is a second mortgage - it's a home equity line of credit?
Did you know that sometimes a second mortgage can be eliminated in a bankruptcy, but sometimes not?
What happens when, years later, the second mortgage tries to collect after being included in a bankruptcy?
We cover all of these topics and more in this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast.
What is a reaffirmation agreement (listen to Episode 188 for more information) and how does it factor into the analysis here?
Unfortunately, I've seen an increase in cases where someone filed bankruptcy and didn't know they had a second mortgage, didn't realize they had a second mortgage, or didn't properly address their second mortgage within the bankruptcy case. What can I do about it years after the fact? Likely not much, but, as always, I have a few options.
If you have questions about your second mortgage and bankruptcy, please contact us or a local attorney. You can reach me at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.
Please also support our friend and sponsor Sam Cohen by introducing him to an attorney or title company you know that wants to competitively shop their malpractice insurance renewal. Sam can work with an attorney or title company anywhere in the country, but prefers working with attorneys and title companies in Florida or Texas. You can reach him at Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.
What could you do with an extra $300 or more in your budget each month? Could you pay off debt faster? Save more money for retirement? Invest? Take a vacation?
In honor of our three hundredth episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, I brainstormed nearly twenty ways to give you back $300 into your monthly budget - whether by cutting expenses or increasing revenue.
Some of these techniques are discussed in my second book, Become Debt Free in Less Than One Hour, and some of them are new!
Are there any that I forgot?
As I consider hitting the three hundred episode mark, I'd like to thank: all of you listeners for supporting the show, our current sponsor and all of our previous sponsors, all of our guests, and any one else who directly or indirectly has given me advice, feedback or simply a shoulder to lean on from time to time.
Speaking of - please support our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance by referring a title company or attorney to him for a malpractice coverage quote. Sam can be reached at Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.

What four (or five) creditors can foreclose and take away your primary residence?
What legal authority in Florida allows a creditor to take your home?
How does the Florida Homestead Laws play into this analysis?
What can I do if my credit card company records a judgment against my homestead property?
In this week's episode, I describe the four (maybe five) creditors that can take your primary residence through foreclosure: (1) Property Tax Collector, (2) Mortgage Company, (3) Contractor who does work on the home, (4) the IRS, and (5) your homeowner or condo association.
The authority for them to do this, or more accurately, the inability of other creditors from doing this - like credit cards, hospital bills, student loans, etc., is found in the Florida Constitution, Article X, Section 4, and Florida Statutes Chapter 222.
I've been able to use a "Notice of Homestead" to eliminate unsecured liens against homes, but it is not a quick process. Therefore, you want to ensure that you file and record the Notice of Homestead far enough in advance of closing for it to eliminate the lien.
Some of the links mentioned in today's episode:
The Notice of Homestead procedure is found in Section 222.01 and is fairly straight forward, but if you need help, please contact our office.
Please also visit our sponsor Sam Cohen for an "apples to apples" comparison of malpractice insurance if you are or if you know an attorney or title company in Florida or Texas. Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.
If you have any further questions for me, please reach out at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.
What is the difference between a Warranty Deed, Special Warranty Deed and Quit Claim Deed?
What is a Quick Claim Deed (hint: doesn't exist)?
Why is it important to recite marital status on a deed and mortgage?
Can someone qualify for financing immediately after being foreclosed (hint: yes!)
On this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, I follow up from episode 296 to talk about the different types of deeds in Florida, and then answer a few listener questions.
You would do me a huge favor and show your support for the show by introducing a title company or attorney in Florida or Texas who is due to renew their malpractice insurance to our sponsor, Sam Cohen at Attorneys First Insurance. Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com

What do you have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving 2021?
The Yesner family has had its share of doctors and hospitals this year and thankfully, everyone is okay!
The goal of my podcast is to help people with the general message that "everything is going to be okay." Today I want to try to help with a message that is more health-related. We're all human and we all have health issues from time to time.
Today's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast is a slight deviation from my normal topics - it is not necessarily a legal episode. Instead, I decided to chronicle my recent diagnosis and treatment of my Type 2 Diabetes.
A few of the links mentioned in today's episode:
Episode 17 - Running & Networking.: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/yesnerlawpodcast/260241161-yesner_law_podcast-episode-17-running-and-networking.mp3
I hope you take away two things from today's episode: (1) everything (including me) is going to be okay, and (2) we can all help and support each other.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm also thankful for our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance and would be appreciative if you could introduce him to an attorney or title company you know in Florida or Texas that needs malpractice insurance. Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.

One question we received this week from a client: "I'm buying a house from my parents, should I get title insurance?"
The Florida Department of Financial Services licenses and oversees Title Insurance in the State of Florida. They put out a great guide to title insurance that we review in today's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast.
The link to download the guide is:
The guide is a short read, about eight pages long and covers the basics: the closing, the closing agent, title insurance, how to select a title agent, tips, common terms and definitions and frequently asked questions.
One other link mentioned in the guide and in the episode is a link to verify the licensure of a particular title company or title agent, which you can find at: https://licenseesearch.fldfs.com.
Our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance provides malpractice coverage to title companies (and attorneys) all over the Country. He would love an introduction to the title company you used for your last closing. You can make that introduction at Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.

We've talked before on the Crushing Debt podcast about student loans and how to eliminate the high cost of paying for an education. One of the best ways is if the student loan qualifies for discharge under the PSLF program (Public Service Loan Forgiveness).
This week's guest on the show is Jason DiLorenzo, founder and CEO of www.PSLFJobs.com. The website helps provide information to student loan borrowers and employers, and helps match employees to employers to help facilitate forgiveness of the student loan under the PSLF program.
Listen to the end of the episode to hear a special offer from Jason and PSLFJobs.com!
PSLFJobs.com also has a salary calculator, PSLF diagnostic, and other information designed to assist both employees and employers under the PSLF program. If you have direct questions, you can email Help@PSLFJobs.com.
Jason and I have a great discussion about:

In today's Crushing Debt Podcast episode, we talk about the four things that primarily impacted the 2021 real estate market, which is still a bit crazy and unique even today, towards the end of the year:
We also discuss whether there's another real estate bubble forming, and the disappearance of short sales.

This week's guest on the Crushing Debt podcast is attorney Michelangelo Mortellaro, who has been practicing since 2007 in the areas of estate planning and elder law.
In 2020, Michelangelo started Fortress Asset Protection with another attorney to help shield your business from lawsuits and creditors.

How much due diligence goes into filing bankruptcy? What are the document requirements?
While these are not questions I get from clients too often, they are two of the most important questions when considering a bankruptcy filing. Why? Because failing to do any due diligence prior to filing could get both the client and the law firm (and me) in trouble with the bankruptcy court. And when you get into trouble with the bankruptcy court, it is the FBI that comes knocking on the door!
So what are the due diligence requirements? We provide all of our clients with document checklists, information, and support. In today's episode, I discuss most of the different common types of documents and information we need. Of course, every bankruptcy is factually different, so the list provided in today's episode is just the starting point.
If you have questions about bankruptcy, please let us know or post a comment wherever you listen to this podcast!
We're also excited about Podfest Origins at the beginning of November, LIVE in Tampa, Florida. You can get more information at www.Podfestexpo.com.
In the event an attorney does not do his or her due diligence, we have our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance who handles malpractice coverage for attorneys and title companies throughout the United States but, right now, has a particular focus on Florida and Texas. If you know an attorney or title company in need of professional liability coverage, please refer them to Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.
More questions about bankruptcy or just want to know how to have more money at the end of the month rather than month at the end of the money? Check out my book, Become Debt Free in Less Than One Hour at www.ShawnMYesner.com/BecomeDebtFree.
Do you buy properties at the foreclosure sale?
Do you buy at the foreclosure sale of the condominium or homeowner association?
If so, you may end up with a property that has no equity AND still be responsible to pay the association every month.
This week's episode is also based on Episode 26 where I discuss lien priority, and is also based on an actual client who bought three association properties at foreclosure sale, for somewhere in the range of $40,000 each, and AFTER the sale learned that each one had a first mortgage in place that eliminated any equity or profit she thought she made when purchasing the properties.
Learn how we were able to help her recoup some of her money, but more importantly learn how we can help other investors avoid this mistake!
Please also refer our sponsor, Sam Cohen, to an attorney or title company you know in Florida or Texas who needs to renew their professional liability insurance. Sam@AttorneysFirst.com or www.AttorneysFirst.com.

Bankruptcy can be a great tool to help give someone a fresh start and relief from overwhelming debt. However, it is very often misunderstood - I have numerous shows dealing with the topic, including debunking myths surrounding bankruptcy.
Today's show is an interview I did with Credit Kristi, who you can hear on my previous episode 247. Kristi started her own podcast called Credit Coaching by Kristi, and you can find it wherever you are listening to this show. Kristi interviews me for her show about the basics of bankruptcy and was so generous to allow me to use the audio for this episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast.
If you have questions about credit, definitely check out Kristi's show - Credit Coaching by Kristi.

Do you have a student loan owned by the Department of Education (rather than a private student loan) AND a finding of disability by the Social Security Administration? There's been a change in the law to link those two things to provide a disability discharge of your student loan!
On this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, we are happy to have returning guest Christie Arkovich to talk about discharging student loans for people with disabilities. Under the new law, a finding of total permanent disability (TPD) by the Social Security Administration or the Department of Education can lead to a discharge of your student loan debt.
Christie has been helping people eliminate or negotiate student loans for years and has become one of the top attorneys in this area. You can hear Christie on previous Crushing Debt episodes:
You can find out more by contacting Christie at her email address - info@christiearkovich.com, or finding her YouTube Channel by searching "Christie Arkovich."

You can't earn any money after filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The Chapter 7 Trustee will come into your house and take all your stuff.
Chapter 7 is now harder to file.
These are all myths about filing a Chapter 7 (Liquidation) bankruptcy case. Last week, I talked about thirteen myths about Chapter 13, and this week, I'm following it up with seven myths about Chapter 7. What are the other myths? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out.
Please continue to support our sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance, by introducing him to attorneys and title companies in Florida and Texas that want a competitive quote on renewing their professional liability (also called malpractice) insurance.

A Chapter 13 requires you to pay ALL of extra money to the Trustee every month!
You are prohibited from moving, buying a new car or taking a vacation during a pending Chapter 13!
Your creditors have to approve the Chapter 13!
The Trustee will take all your stuff when you file Chapter 13!
Yes, these are all myths and untrue when you file Chapter 13. This week's episode came about from a consultation with a prospective client who was so scared of filing Chapter 13 because of all of the misinformation on the internet. Once I dispelled those myths, we were able to craft a plan that allowed her to repay a portion of her debt, get a fresh start, keep some of her luxury items (like jet skis) and save a little bit of money each month!
What other rumors or myths are there around Chapter 13? This week, we discuss 13 of them (including some of the ones mentioned above).
