Do you think...2022-06-3032 minCrushing DebtHow Many People Live in Your House?How much money does your spouse make? What about your significant other? What about your roommate or kids? Many clients get confused that bankruptcy is based on their income alone. Unfortunately, when someone files bankruptcy, whether they can file Chapter 7 or 13 is based on the household income whether or not the spouse, significant other, roommate, etc. files bankruptcy. Unfortunately, this can cause issues when the person filing makes no money, but others in the house make a significant amount of money. How do we calculate how many people are in the household? That's the subject of today's...2022-04-0722 minCrushing DebtAlways Sharpen the SawDo you continue to learn? What do you do to feed your body, your mind, and your spirit? Long time listeners know that I read, at least 30 - 45 minutes per day in the morning when I first wake up as part of my daily routine to get ready for my day. The house is quiet and my wife and kids are still asleep (most mornings). Each year, I like to do an episode on some of more impactful books I've read the previous year, which is the topic of today's Crushing Debt Podcast episode. 2022-01-2032 minCrushing DebtI'll Do It MyselfSmall claims court is designed to allow people to settle their disputes, in court, without using attorneys. The proceedings are a little less formal, there are opportunities to settle the dispute through mediation right at the beginning of the process, hearings are streamlined, and the process is for disputes of $8,000 or less (in Florida). What should you know about small claims court, and why do few attorneys like to practice in small claims court? At the very beginning of the show (Episode 7) I also discussed small claims court. You can hear that show...2022-01-0626 minCrushing DebtYou Can't Take My House! Can You?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. 2021-12-0933 minCrushing DebtCrushing MY Medical DebtWhat do you have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving 2021?

The Florida Department of Financial Services licenses and oversees Title Insurance in the State of Florida.

How do you do that? That is the topic of today's Crushing Debt Podcast episode, and the answer is both simple and complex. I also take some time to update you on what Yesner Law is up to in the coming months, specifically: The Great Westchase - a great 10k, 5k, 1-mile race through my home neighborhood of Westchase on October 23, 2021, starting at 7 AM.

However, feeling like you have to file a second time can seem even worse. Don't let the title of this episode fool you. I will always be available to help consult with past, current, and future clients. It's not so much that I don't want repeat clients, as I want to help my clients stay debt free. In addition, we never judge someone who feels like bankruptcy is the proper choice - it is simply a tool, allowed by our laws, t...2021-04-2226 minCrushing DebtExcuse Me Ma'am, Your Wage Gap Is ShowingGender wage gaps ... glass ceilings ... the pink tax ... these are all things women are still having to navigate in our society.

For as long as I can remember, I have read - books, magazines, articles, whatever I can get my hands on. I enjoy reading and believe that the most educated becomes the most successful. In 2020, I made a goal to read 50 books. I accomplished that goal on December 15, 2020, and read two more books, bringing my total to 52 books for the year (averaging one book per week). As I've done the last few years, I wanted to highlight some of...2021-01-0731 minCrushing DebtBecome Debt Free in Less Than One HourImagine coming home from work and having to tell your spouse that he/she HAS to go back to work to make ends meet. Unfortunately, that's where I found myself a few years ago. In 2008, I left the first firm I first founded to start Yesner Law, from scratch, again. This time, however, I had an established network and knew a little about how to generate referrals. Still, I needed to find a way to have more money at the end of the month, rather than more month at the end of the...2020-11-1236 minCrushing DebtWhat Really Happened?A short episode this week, but I also posted a "Trailer" Episode for the podcast yesterday, so you get two shorter releases this week. At the same time, I only want to create great content for you regardless of length! This week's episode is part of a project that I worked on for the One Funnel Away challenge - The Origin Story for Yesner Law. I've told parts of this story within the podcast and on other podcasts, but never as raw as you're going to hear it this week.

While it has become an annual tradition to use the show to list what we are most proud of accomplishing in the previous year, I also talk about two topics, inspired by listeners, on today’s show: 1. Why did I form an LLC if it doesn’t protect me? 2. As the seller of real estate in Florida, what do I have to disclose (the Johnson v. Davis case)? However, I do also want you to pay attention to what we accomplished this past year...2019-11-2824 minCrushing DebtBare Bones BankruptcyHappy Halloween! This episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast is all about Bare Bones, or Skeleton Bankruptcy Petitions (I guess that's two spooky topics). A normal bankruptcy petition is in the range of 50 pages, although the first 6 - 7 pages are all that's needed to file and start the case. That's what we mean by "bare bones," only the first 6 - 7 pages, followed up at a later date by the remaining supporting documents and schedules. As a practice, Yesner Law tries to stay away from bare bones petitions because: (1) they take more time because...2019-10-3122 minCrushing DebtHere We Grow AgainCrushing Debt Podcast audience, meet Lauryn Fabrizio, our new associate attorney at Yesner Law.

This week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast focuses, again, on tips, techniques and strategies to come off of the List. A real estate professional (Realtor, Mortgage, Buyer, Seller, Investor, Title Company, Attorney, Inspector, Appraiser, etc.) who finds themselves on the Exclusionary List cannot participate in a real estate transaction where Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp or FHLMC) is a party.

Crushing DebtBankruptcy Chapter 6.5Bankruptcy Chapter 6.5 is a term of my creation and it references a situation where a homeowner files Chapter 13 bankruptcy to save their home through a mediated loan modification, but then dismisses the bankruptcy once the modification is completed - thus completing half of a Chapter 13 reorganization (13 divided by 2 equals 6.5). Recently, I posted a blog article and related podcast that asked the question "Why is Bankruptcy so Odd?" In that article, I never discussed Chapter 6.5. You won't find Chapter 6.5 in any bankruptcy law book, code book, or rule book. You won't even find it amongst any slang around th...2016-12-1512 min

Crushing DebtThe Mortgage Debt Relief ActIn this week's episode of the Yesner Law Podcast, I discuss the Mortgage Debt Relief Act ("MDRA"). This law provides that forgiveness of debt income, or phantom income, related to the foreclosure or short sale of a primary residence is non-taxable if the loan deficit that is waived is related to a loan used to buy or make improvements to the house. When you complete a short sale or lose a house to foreclosure, the bank may choose to waive the deficit - the difference between the amount owed on the loan and the value of the h...2016-07-2909 min

Crushing DebtTrustee Sales in Bankruptcy CourtIn this week's episode of the Yesner Law podcast, we discuss a potentially scary issue for people filing bankruptcy. What happens when the debtor's house is upside down, behind in payments, and maybe even in foreclosure, and the homeowner wants to use the bankruptcy to surrender the house? Sometimes, the trustees sell the house to an investor, who then rents the house for cash flow until the bank forecloses. While this may seem unfair, it is proper under the Bankruptcy Code and Rules (at least here in Tampa Bay). We discuss when this might happen, and what options the homeowner...2016-04-1411 min
