Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Want To Learn How to Get Out of Foreclosure with a Loan Modification, Then Get This Potentially Life Saving Book! A home loan remodification is a method you may qualify for that allows you to get current again. If you are behind several payments, you may be in fear of foreclosure. Perhaps that process has already been started and you are afraid you will lose your home. A loan remodification can allow you to re-age your loan and get a payment you can afford with your current financial circumstances. Instead of trying to come up with a lump sum of money to save your home, you only have to focus on being able to meet that monthly mortgage payment. The process to qualify for a home loan remodification takes time and you have to follow the steps or you can be denied for failure to comply. Once your application is in motion, the foreclosure process will be put on hold. This gives you and the mortgage company time to go through all of the paperwork and see what can be done. Most lenders want to extend a remodification loan to you rather than foreclosure on the property. With that in mind, it is to your advantage to see if you qualify. About the Expert I didn’t know about loan remodification until my home was already in foreclosure. I was trying to explore my options and came across the details. I was frustrated that my mortgage company hadn’t taken the time to share that with me as a possibility. They had no trouble calling me at least twice per week to ask for the full amount I was due. They refused to take payments and didn’t seem to care about the reason why I was getting behind. Armed with information, I called them and asked for a loan remodification application. I am glad I did as it got me back on track with my home loan. I am hopeful this process can do the same for you. If you are facing foreclosure, you definitely want to look into home loan remodification as an opportunity. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Download or read book Underwater written by Chris Lauer and published by Apress. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just about every month, housing values in the U.S. fall. That, in turn, increases the number of people who owe more on their houses than they are worth—either trapping them in homes they may no longer want or putting them in danger of financial catastrophe if they lose a job or are otherwise unable to meet the mortgage. Underwater: Options When Your Mortgage Is Upside Down offers valuable advice to homeowners on ways they can unload a house they no longer want, save a home from foreclosure, or undergo foreclosure and start anew. The book offers smart advice from lawyers, bankers, real estate agents, personal finance experts, and homeowners who have seen the foreclosure process firsthand, as well as those who have been able to save their homes through loan modifications and other creative methods. Those faced with tough choices will find invaluable guidance to help them make well-informed decisions while managing the emotional fallout each brings. Many of the eleven million people in the U.S. now facing the “underwater” dilemma wonder: Is staying put the only option? What if I can’t pay the monthly mortgage bill? Can I save my home? Underwater: Options When Your Mortgage Is Upside Down outlines the options—when foreclosure is a good idea, how to best protect the equity you've built up, the financial repercussions of going into foreclosure, strategies for renegotiating a loan, taking advantage of government programs designed to keep you happily housed, and more. Veteran financial journalist Chris Lauer provides the facts, ideas, and advice that can help any underwater homeowner—especially those facing foreclosure—make smart decisions for a better future.
