If you need to understand how to avoid foreclosure and retain possession of your home, you'll want to read this article a couple times. Each of the following methods have been used thousands of times by people in your same situation.
Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. When deciding which solution is most appropriate for you, consider the following:
- Will your mortgage payment go up, down, or stay the same?
- How much of a payment can you afford month after month?
- What will you do about your other bills and expenses?
Remember, these programs are meant to be long-term solutions. Any solution that you choose must fit your budget. You won't get approved for some of these options unless you can make a consistent monthly payment.
How to Bring Your Loan Current Again
1. Reinstatement - You bring the loan current by paying back everything you owe in one large installment.
2. Repayment Plan - You catch the mortgage up over a period of a few months with payments that are larger than your usual mortgage. Many lenders will initially offer you repayment plans of 3-6 months. Some will go as long as 12 or 18 months if you can show them that you need more time.
3. Forbearance - This program is really helpful when your financial problems are short-term. A forbearance gives you a smaller mortgage payment for a specific number of months. Some lenders may even let you go without making any payment for a short time. When the forbearance is over, you are generally expected to bring the loan current with a reinstatement or repayment plan.
4. Modification - For many, this is the program of choice. A modification occurs when your lender changes one or more of your loan terms to bring your mortgage current again. It can get you a lower payment if you've had a permanent reduction in income. You can also use a modification to move all the money you presently owe to the end of the loan. With this kind of modification, you just make your regular mortgage payment again.
5. Partial Claim - If you are behind on a FHA loan, you may qualify for an interest-free loan from the government. This loan is used to bring your first mortgage current again. The best part of this program is that the loan from the government doesn't require a monthly payment. You pay it off whenever you sell or refinance.
It may surprise you, but most lenders have no desire to foreclose on your home. They are in the business of lending money, not fixing up and selling homes.
First of all, lenders almost always lose money in the foreclosure process. Some industry experts estimate an average of $40,000 per foreclosure. Secondly, when a bank has a non-performing asset on its books, they can't lend out as much money. That again costs them money.
For these reasons and others, most lenders have a loss mitigation department. This department works with troubled borrowers who are months behind on their mortgage. Their job is to get you into the program that is most appropriate for your situation. You have the option of working with them directly or using a professional service.
Refinancing and Bankruptcy
There are two other ways to avoid foreclosure and retain possession of your home when the options listed above won't work.
6. Refinancing - A new loan can give you a fresh start, but there are many restrictions. As a borrower, you become a greater risk as you fall further and further behind on your mortgage. As a result, any new lender is only going to loan you a certain percentage of your home's value. You may end up with a higher monthly payment than the one you had before. One way around the issue of a higher payment is to pay off some other debts with the new loan.
7. Bankruptcy - Because of its long-term credit implications, a bankruptcy should only be considered as a last resort. A Chapter 7 will only stall the foreclosure process for 30-90 days. It's not an effective long-term solution. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can force your lender to accept payments on the past-due amount. But, you would also have to make your regular mortgage payment as well. Be sure to seek qualified legal council if this is an alternative you are considering.
Taking the Next Step
No matter what solution you use to avoid foreclosure, you need to take action quickly. Some of these solutions take weeks to implement. Remember to keep track of when the property will be auctioned off or turned over to the bank.

Tips and Tricks of a Loan Modification
Is your mortgage causing you trouble?
Are you having difficulty making the payments?
Has it adjusted and you cannot afford the new payment?
Are you unable to refinance to a loan that would better suit your financial situation?
Then it is probably time for your to investigate modifying your loan.
1. As a home owner it is vital to identify that the mortgage on your current property is a lawful one. Be sure that there are no Truth in Lending Act Violations or RESPA violations and Lender wasn't fraudulent who originated your loan. Have a professional, experienced mortgage attorney and/or legitimate, credible law firm focused in loan modifications examine your loan documents for these potential violations.
2. Develop and maintain a complete written life of loan history attempting to highlight all phony charges and fees included in your mortgage balance. Also, you should make sure that any inflated appraisal and/or loss of property values are included and calculated.
3. Compare the loan you got with the one you thought you were getting. Are the terms the same? hat is, is your Annual Percentage Rate ("APR") the same as the one you were quoted? Are your total monthly payments the same as you were told they would be? Is there a prepayment penalty, and if so, were you told about this prepayment penalty?
4. If you have ever refinanced, then the first thing you should look at is the "notice of Right to Cancel" which is also called the "Three Day Right of Rescission." You usually has three days after signing loan documents to change your mind and cancel the loan. The borrower must be told of this right in writing. If the creditor fails to properly provide notice of this right to cancel, the right of rescission may be extended for up to three years. When the right is extended for three years you can rescind the loan at any time before three years, meaning that the loan is treated as if it never existed. Essentially, you become entitled to all profits made by the creditor as a result of this loan. This means that the creditor must refund all interest paid, all closing fees, all broker fees, and even pay for your attorney fees. As you can imagine, this amount can be quite significant. The extended right of rescission is a powerful tool to help borrowers who have been victims of predatory lending, and helping our clients exercise this right is often the first step in holding a creditor responsible for illegal behavior.
If it is determined that no laws have been violated on your mortgage, then it's time to approach your lender for a possible loan modification. Here are the factors that will be looked at and addressed:
Hardship causing your mortgage issues
Loan amount
Amount owed
Ability to pay
Equity in the property
Debt to income ratio
Future financial situation
Which approach will best benefit the lender in the long run - to foreclose or pursue a loan workout with you and or modify your loan
A loan modification generally occurs where all parties involved with a problem loan mutually agree to create a new and better loan. The loan modification should concur previous financial issues, ensuring new obligations are met seamlessly.
When applying for a loan modification, make a game plan on how exactly you are going to approach your bank or lender. When working via phone, your lender has at least two levels of employees who talk with delinquent borrowers. The first is usually the collections department, which consists of people who are trained to force money out of you and get you current on payments. The second group should embody loss mitigation specialists. Depending on your lender, some other frequently used labels of these departments include; foreclosure prevention, loan resolution and delinquency customer service. It can be difficult to get through to the loss mitigation department, hence the need for a professional, experienced mortgage attorney and/or legitimate, credible law firm as mentioned above.
Once you get a live person, you need to work your way up to a decision maker. This is sometimes harder to do for a homeowner than a 3rd party authorized professional. Sometimes to get to this point you have to put up with level 1 collection departments through a process of filling out their forms and information. They will ask for you to provide them with items such as pay stubs, tax returns and a multitude of all types of other personal financial information. At this point, some lenders will assign the file to someone higher up in the loss mitigation department.
The most crucial element to this whole process is your budget and if you have done your due diligence, you'll be ready. They will ask you for a detailed list of your monthly expenses. If your financial situation is too tight, you may not get approved. If you have too much extra income you are going to have an outrageous payment plan and should agree to it!
Do your research, be prepared and trust that the attorney you chose to retain to assist you in this matter will do the best they can to rectify your current home loan and financial issues.

In Foreclosure and Want to Keep Your Home? Try a Short Refinance
This is definitely one of the big banks and lenders best kept secrets. But with the recent increase in foreclosures and the tightening of lender guidelines, which makes it even harder to qualify in today’s market for a refinance, and not to mention the drop in property values in such areas as Fort Lauderdale and Miami has brought the short refinance to the front lines. While some might have heard the term Short Sale – which is the process you would go thru if you are trying to sell but you owe more than the house is worth. Now the Short Refinance – is the process you would go thru if you want to keep you home, but you need a better loan program that will be more affordable and you owe more than your house is worth so you can’t do a regular refinance. Similar to the short sale, the short refinance is a negotiation with your current lender to reduce the amount you owe to facilitate a refinance with a new lender.
Not to be confused with a loan modification. With a loan modification you will stay with your current lender and just renegotiate the terms of you loan, with the short refinance you are getting the lender to reduce the pay off, so you can get a loan with a completely new lender.
Now with any loss mitigation process, including loan modification, short sale, and short refinance, they are all on a case by case basis and the lender has the final say. So don’t expect to get the same results as your neighbor or family member received. Any company out there that offers you a guarantee that you will be approved for any of these loss mitigation options or tell you to stop making payment, you should stay clear of……and I mean run.
Now it is important to note, that you don’t have to be behind on payments or in Foreclosure to qualify for a short refinance, although majority of the people that get approved are normally in foreclosure. Today, with lenders having an abundance of non performing loans on their books has caused them to be more flexible when working with home owners to come to win win agreement for both borrower and lenders.
Also South Florida home owners in such areas as Fort Lauderdale and Miami that have found themselves with either an adjustable rate mortgage or have found themselves upside down on their homes, which has prevented them from doing a regular refinance, now have this option, that if approved, can refinance into a more affordable fixed rate mortgage and avoid foreclosure Because of the increase demand for loss mitigation, it has been taking most lenders a minimum of 45 days and up to 90 days to complete the process.
Normally when a homeowner finds themselves in foreclosure, they would only hear about 2 options either file bankruptcy or try and sell. Lately, loan modifications have become more popular, but that still doesn’t mean that is best solution for most homeowners. Here’s why, we offer the lender a short-refinance offer first and if for any reason it is not successful, then we will proceed with an offer to negotiate a loan modification for the client.
A short-refinance can basically create equity in a property, as we are getting the amounted owed to the lender reduced. It reduces the mortgage to the current market value, while eliminating the upside-down loan. While A loan modification can keep the homeowner’s interest rate down to a comfortable level and put them into a fixed rate loan, while also placing any arrearages back into the loan.
But if the property is upside-down and by the adding the arrearages back into the loan, it could be in worse shape than before. Now don’t get me wrong, if the homeowner’s intentions are to keep the property long enough for the market to turn around, then this is a win win situation for both lender and homeowner. The main purpose of a short-refinance or a loan modification is that the home owner is allowed to stay in their home.
A lot of Fort Lauderdale and Miami homeowners are realizing that their property is not worth nearly what they owe on it, several of them have opted to just walk away. A short-refinance gives homeowners’ hope, that they can get themselves from an upside-down mortgage problem, and in some cases can save their home from foreclosure. This keeps them in their home, gives them a peace of mind, and allows them to get on with their lives as the possibility of foreclosure in now behind them.
While Loss Mitigation may not be for everyone, it is important to work with an expert in the field that can analyze your situation and help you determine the best loss mitigation for you and your family.

Stop Foreclosure! Know What To Do
Stop Foreclosure! Is it possible? Yes, you can stop foreclosure if you take the appropriate actions immediately. Consider the following steps you can do to stop lenders from foreclosing your home:
Call your lender right away and request to speak with someone from the Loss Mitigation Department. This is the department that particularly handles foreclosure properties. Explain why you have missed on your monthly payments especially if you’ve been through difficult circumstances.
Know your options. Usually, you may request for some options to stop foreclosure. One option would be to ask for Forbearance. This is where your lender can waive some fees on your debts to help you keep up with the payment.
Another option would be Loan Modification. A Loan Modification is much like Loan Refinancing but instead of going through the re-application process, your lender can grant you a new loan without re-applying. This can save you money from application costs and it greatly speeds up the loan processing.
If you want, you can also request for a Reinstatement. With a reinstatement, your lender will give you an extended period to submit all the payments you’ve defaulted. However, a reinstatement requires you to pay your debts in full.
These are just some of the adjustments on your mortgage loan that you can ask from your lender. Of course, it would depend on your lending company which one among these options they would prefer. Just remember that these are just temporary options to buy you more time for repayment before the actual foreclosure. See to it that you’ll be able to come up with the solution to secure the payments you need.
Sell your home. If you see that there’s no way you can secure the amount you need to repay your mortgage in time, you still have the choice to sell your home before your lender forecloses it. But you need to be aware about the risks of dealing with foreclosure scammers or home buyers who are simply out to take advantage of you.
As much as possible, make sure that the purchase price you’ll put into your property will be fair enough for its market value and that you would have enough money to pay off the debts you’ve defaulted including other fees involved. If you’re going to sell your home, it would be better if you can buy as much time as possible before your lender files foreclosure. This way, you’ll also have more time to come up with a better deal from a buyer.
Study contracts carefully. Before you sign up any agreement, especially if you’re selling your home, never forget to scrutinize every detail included in the contract. Don’t sign a document which has blank spaces or blank lines.
Do not go into an agreement if the buyer promises to pay back your default and all you have to do is sign over the title of you property. This puts you at great risk that the buyer will not be submitting any payment to your lender. He can use your property for lease and keep the money for himself until your lender forecloses your home completely. Always remember, that you cannot pass your accountability for your debts just by signing over your property.

Loan Modification (For those already LATE on payments)
Lenders are known to be difficult when it comes to loan modifications but if you're behind on your house payments and can show that lowering those payments will make the home affordable again, you have a great chance of getting back on track with your lender.

Many Consider Foreclosure as Home Values Drop
You bought what you thought would be a great long term investment, and maybe you put very little money down hoping values would continue to climb. Then the housing bubble popped and your home value took a huge downturn, especially in California housing markets, Florida Housing markets, and Nevada Housing markets. If this is your situation, you are like many Americans making mortgage payments on a house that is worth less than you owe. The temptation to walk away from your mortgage and have the bank foreclose on the property may be strong. You may not have considered however the long term implications of a foreclosure.
The housing market downturn is similar to cycles in any other investment vehicle in which there are both up and down cycles. Although the values may be declining now, once the credit market shake-up has run its course, values will likely start climbing once again. This will happen once there is more liquidity in the financial marketplace and banks are focused on loaning money for mortgages once again. You must ask yourself if you are walking away from your mortgage because you cannot afford it, or because you just don’t like the fact you are upside down in terms of valuation.
Defaulting on your mortgage and allowing the bank to foreclose on the property has many short and long term ramifications you may not have considered. The first of which is you will unlikely be able to get a new home mortgage, refinance, or any other type of home mortgage for a minimum of five years. A foreclosure on your record is an automatic disqualification to any potential lender in giving you a new mortgage loan, and is actually federally mandated under recent laws passed by the senate in an effort to get home owners to work with their lenders.
Next, consider what missing 6-8 mortgage payments and the subsequent foreclosure will do to your credit score. If for example you have perfect 700+ FICO scores now, you will come out the other end with high 400’s to low 500’s FICO scores and the foreclosure could impact your credit for as much as 10 years.
Additionally, Landlords may be unlikely to rent to you as you will now have a proven history of not paying for your housing costs. You will likely need to come up with $4000 - $8000 dollars to move into a new rental unit, calculating first and last month’s rent plus security deposits.
There are also moving costs to consider, the increased amount you will pay in taxes by not having the mortgage deduction, and the fact you will receive a 1099 and may have to pay taxes on the amount of money your lender needs to write down on the property. There are no free rides here and the average first year cost to a consumer who gets foreclosed on is over $26,000.
One option you may consider is using an Attorney to negotiate with your lender to acquire a Loan Modification or Principal Write-down to get some mortgage payment relief. Attorneys can negotiate with your lender on your behalf to lower your interest rate or even reduce principal balance in some cases if your are experiencing financial hardship. In speaking with California Real Estate Attorney Marc Bonanni of Consumer Debt Advocate ( http://www.consumerdebtadvocate.net ), a law firm specializing in just such Home Loan Modifications and Loss Mitigation in all 50 states, Marc told me that “ We have been very successful in working with lenders to get them to modify the term of existing loans, lowering interest rate and monthly payments to one the borrower can afford, and even getting lenders to forgive past due balances or principal balance with forbearance agreements to avoid the foreclosure process. It all is predicated on the true financial hardship we can prove to the lender and if there were any Truth in Lending violations or Predatory Lending violations on the original loan. Mortgage fraud has been rampant, specially with sub-prime borrowers and our success rate has been excellent in the loan modification process”.
In researching loan modification companies, this writer has also found that there are a lot of predators out there and many debt settlement companies and mortgage companies have gotten into the loan modification business. Unfortunately, these companies are collecting fees but have very little leverage with the lender and will soon be regulated out of existence due to their predatory practices. Only use an attorney or HUD approved foreclosure counselor for assistance in this process, and beware of companies who state they are “Attorney based”, Attorney backed”, “Foreclosure Consultants”, or “Attorney Assisted” as these are not actually law firms and cannot guarantee your legal rights in the process as you are not actually retaining an attorney. Due your diligence is this area before hiring anyone to help you negotiate with your lender.
Before you decide to walk away from your property and allow it to be foreclosed on, we feel it is important to consider all of the short and long term credit and financial implications of doing so. It is also important to act quickly before saving your home is too late, as once the lender sends you a Notice of Default, you may have incurred thousands of dollars in legal fees that will make the negotiation process that much more difficult to achieve.

The housing market downturn is similar to cycles in any other investment vehicle in which there are both up and down cycles. Although the values may be declining now, once the credit market shake-up has run its course, values will likely start climbing once again. This will happen once there is more liquidity in the financial marketplace and banks are focused on loaning money for mortgages once again. You must ask yourself if you are walking away from your mortgage because you cannot afford it, or because you just don’t like the fact you are upside down in terms of valuation.
Defaulting on your mortgage and allowing the bank to foreclose on the property has many short and long term ramifications you may not have considered. The first of which is you will unlikely be able to get a new home mortgage, refinance, or any other type of home mortgage for a minimum of five years. A foreclosure on your record is an automatic disqualification to any potential lender in giving you a new mortgage loan, and is actually federally mandated under recent laws passed by the senate in an effort to get home owners to work with their lenders.
Next, consider what missing 6-8 mortgage payments and the subsequent foreclosure will do to your credit score. If for example you have perfect 700+ FICO scores now, you will come out the other end with high 400’s to low 500’s FICO scores and the foreclosure could impact your credit for as much as 10 years.
Additionally, Landlords may be unlikely to rent to you as you will now have a proven history of not paying for your housing costs. You will likely need to come up with $4000 - $8000 dollars to move into a new rental unit, calculating first and last month’s rent plus security deposits.

Loan modification is not an entirely new process in the mortgage world, it just became a lot more popular after recent events. In order to be able to pay the monthly costs, you request your lender to change the conditions of your mortgage permanently. That, in a nutshell, is loan modification.. Many times, this means lowering the interest rate. To keep the damage minimal for the lender, the total length of the mortgage is oftentimes increased.
The increased demand for loan modification has not been overlooked by con men throughout the country. The scams usually involve a company giving you all sorts of guarantees in exchange for an upfront payment for their so called services . You will have to learn how to avoid these scams.
Most homeowners are looking for fast results when going for loan modification. Con artists will play to that desire by telling you all sorts of things. Ultimately, the lender decides to grant loan modification or not. No loan modification company can guarantee anything.
It usually takes at least a month before the lender even considers a mortgage loan modification application. The bad loan modification businesses will say and try anything to force you into signing with them. They will concur with any condition you have, because they only care about their upfront payment.
Do your research and find a reputable company when attempting to do loan modification. Don't go for the first money hungry person you bump into. There are scammers around everywhere and you need to be careful.

What is a Bank of America Foreclosure Like?
There are many Bank of America foreclosure homes. Not only are there Bank of America foreclosure homes that have not sold, there are always new Bank of America foreclosure homes coming to the market for people to buy.
A Bank of America foreclosure home is a home that had a mortgage or mortgages with Bank of America. Unfortunately, the homeowner could not pay his or her mortgage payments over a long period of time and Bank of America decided that foreclosure was the only way to go.
If Bank of America decides that foreclosure is the right thing to do, it will take them awhile to start the Bank of America foreclosure process. The homeowner has many months to try to catch up on the mortgage payments before he or she has to go through the Bank of America foreclosure process. Bank of America usually does not get aggressive in collecting from the homeowner until many months later.
The Bank of America foreclosure process starts when Bank of America sends out a foreclosure notice. Bank of America may call the homeowner repeatedly to try to figure something out or the bank can just be silent and send out the foreclosure notice depending on the area you are in and the account manager.
Most people start to really be afraid of Bank of America foreclosure when the bank actually sends out official notices of foreclosure. They then try to call the bank repeatedly. Sometimes, it is too late to negotiate with the bank but other times the bank will still be willing to work something out with the homeowner. When calling Bank of America, the homeowner needs to talk to someone with authority to negotiate.
Calling Bank of America to negotiate with them is not the only way to stop the foreclosure process. There are many ways a homeowner can help himself or herself. He or she can put the home on the market and try to sell at a high enough price to pay off the lender. After all, it is far better to sell the home yourself, on your terms, rather than have Bank of America take it away from you.
To beat a Bank of America foreclosure, a homeowner needs to know what to do. Sadly, most people do not know that they have lots of options even when their home is worth so little that they feel it is best to let the bank take it. A real estate short sale, for example, can help them get out of a large mortgage even when the value of their home is small in comparison.
In summary, a Bank of America foreclosure is not something that you cannot beat. If you understand how a Bank of America foreclosure works, you will be able to find ways to stop it or avoid it. Knowing how to beat a Bank of America foreclosure well in advance will give you a better chance of keeping yourself from the trauma of foreclosure and the risk of destroying your credit.

Loan Modifications-Can We Fix Your Non-Performing Mortgage?
Principal write-downs, or Loan Modifications will offer home owners the help they need.
An interesting solution.
Loan Modifications... A Solution For Negative Equity?
In July, Congress passed the Hope for Homeowners initiative. It is a FHA insurance package which will insure $300B of new mortgages for home owners in a "negative equity" position.
Negative equity, of course, meaning that most of these loans are worth more than the home.
To qualify for the loan modification, the borrowers must have made at least 6 loan payments on time, and they would need a DTI of 31% or less.
What happens if the borrowers meet all the guidelines? (And keep in my mind, that most of these are non-performing mortgages. And if I had to guess what the debt to income ratio on average in 2007 was, it would most likely be around 40-45%).
Who's Going To Qualify For Loan Modifications?
The answer is: Very few people.
When the program became available, out of 49 people applying, zero applications were approved.
NonPerforming Mortgages Included In FHA Secure Program
Just as difficult to qualify for, out of 203 applications only 49 borrowers were approved for the FHA Secure program.
During this same period, California had about 1,300 properties that had a Notice of Default filing.
So what's the big deal here? Can't we just give the H4H program some time?
Of course.
Remember that H4H, along with the lenders participating in these loan modifications will be looking for federal backing on these 90% principal reduction plans.
Instead of waiting on H4H, why don't you invest in those 49 notes that were rejected and make an offer to buy them.
And most likely, there will be more non-performing mortgages (to buy) where they came from.

Don't Let Foreclosure Happen To You
Glancing over a general article about mortgages will bring a lot of questions to your mind concerning foreclosure. The United States is in a recession and millions are feeling the unemployment woes. Millions are at risk of losing their homes right under their feet. The news doesn't provide much comfort too. Many powerful officials have speculated that the house market is going to get worse before it gets better.
Webster states that mortgage is the pledging of your property to a creditor as security of a debt.Relatively speaking, your home is simply your collateral to the loan you were given to obtain it. If in any circumstances you are to default on your payment to the bank that trusted you with their funds they can take your home. There are several avenues you can take to avoid such action being taken against you. You can choose to refinance your home, apply for a reverse mortgage, or receive a loan modification.
Refinancing a mortgage means paying off your own mortgage and signing a loan for a new one. Many people choose to refinance their mortgage in hopes of getting a lower percentage of interest added to their current amount. When considering refinancing your property read all fine print with your contract and try to obtain a rate between 2-4%. Therefore refinancing eliminates a portion of interest meaning you pay less total interest per year.
Are you at least 62 years old, own your home, and have a low mortgage balance remaining on the home you reside in? Reverse mortgage will probably be the best avenue you can take. Reverse mortgages allow homeowners to change equity in their homes over to cash and pay off their mortgage all together. And, you simply do not need to repay until the home is not occupied by the owner or they die. Money from the reverse mortgage is considered tax free and is considered income. A few downfalls of the reverse mortgage loan however, is the debt on the property increases, equity disappears at a fast rate, and it's very expensive to apply.
A new trend in helping to solve the foreclosure dilemma is loan modifications. Loan modifications enable you to find an affordable mortgage payment for your situation. Loan modifications eliminate the spending and hours of reapplying for another loan by simply changing the terms of your existing mortgage. In order to be considered for a loan modification you have to provide proof of a financial hardship, be 3 or more payments delinquent on your mortgage, and have not filed bankruptcy. Applying is simple as well; you just go to the lender or primary service that owns your mortgage.
There are several solutions to solving your mortgage issues. But, we shouldn't let this economy be our downfall as well. Stop the world from taking from you what's rightfully yours, and explore all options with an open mind. And determine which method is right for your current situation. See if you can receive a loan modification.

How to prevent mortgage foreclosure from happening to you
Foreclosure can be pretty alarming and frustrating if you're not sure what's going to happen next. You make it a lot less frustrating by learning the steps of foreclosure. That's the reason you have to find the time and energy to study the mortgage foreclosure process.
The second you miss that first mortgage payment, the steps leading up to foreclosure are launched. After a couple of weeks, you will get a note from the lender telling you you've missed a payment. If you pay your past due bills, they will leave you alone. If you stay in default, the mortgage company will give you a call. They will declare that you are in default and they will demand payment. If this looks like your situation, contact your lender.
If you reach your lender soon enough, you may get the opportunity to do mortgage loan modification. Taking this step can be one of the greatest ways to spare your family from foreclosure. When you've missed 3 months of payments, a lender can set the offical forecluse process in motion. It can take a little more time, but if you keep missing payments you will receive a foreclosure notice eventually.
The problems multiply when you receive your foreclosure letter. You can try to stall it if you decide to attend the court hearing, but you will lose in all probability. The banking company acquires the right to sell your house through an auction when the court hearing is over. When the auction process begins, you only have a few days to leave your house. If you stay, you will be evicted by the law.
It's important to speak with your lender before things get this far. Frequently you have the opportunity to use mortgage loan modification and rescue your home and family from foreclosure. Study the mortgage loan modification process and fill out the paperwork correctly to get the best chance of being accepted.

Why Loan Modification is a Good Choice over Refinancing your Mortgage
Modifying a mortgage loan has become much easier since the implementation of the Obama administration's loan modification plan. This plan provides incentives to lenders to change the terms of an existing loan to make payments on Columbus houses more affordable to homeowners. In the past, getting a mortgage modification was far more difficult, since lenders had to bear certain costs of the process.
Do You Qualify?
In order to qualify for Obama's loan modification program, the home must be your primary residence, and you must have purchased your home before January 1, 2009. The Obama plan does not apply to jumbo loans, which in most cases means your loan amount can't exceed $729,750; however, the allowable limit may be higher in high-cost housing areas.
Also, the loan is only available on the first mortgage. It does not apply to any subsequent mortgages you may have. Your mortgage has to be more than 31% of your monthly income if you are to qualify for the loan modification program. And lastly, you need to be able to show that you are facing financial difficulty which means you are having problems paying your mortgage. Whether it is because of the loss of a job, less working hour, illness, separation and/or divorce, or whatever else.
The process that follows qualification
The first thing you need to do is to get in contact with the lender. Once you have done so, you then need to request the modification plan. Some lenders who are not part of the Obama plan will probably refuse. Those who are, and there are many, will agree to the plan.
Next, you'll need to gather relevant documents. This includes evidence of your pre-tax monthly household income, your most recently filed tax return, information on savings and assets if applicable, and mortgage and loan statements for your first and second mortgages or home equity line of credit. You'll also need to create a detailed budget that lists your monthly expenses, including credit card payments and installments loans, like student and car loans.
Once you've gathered this information, you will go through the final process with your lender of negotiating the terms and completing the necessary paperwork.
Why modification instead refinancing is the better choice
There are two main reasons why you should choose to modify your loan rather than opting for refinance. The first reason is cost and the second is your ability to qualify. Because of the present state of the credit climate you will definitely not qualify for refinance unless you have an excellent credit record. Also, when it comes to refinance you are responsible for closing costs as well as other fees. The Obama loan modification program charges no fees at all. Also, if you are behind in your payments any late fees and interest can be waived.
Modification is the best option if you are falling behind on your payments, or if you could not afford to stay in your home with a new loan at conventional rates. On the other hand, refinancing is a better option if you have equity in your home and are looking for a better interest rate, even if you don't qualify for Obama's modification plan. Refinancing is also the only way to cash out if you want to tap into your home's equity.
You might opt for a professional, such as a lawyer or service provider, to do the negotiation regarding the modification you seek.

Loan Modification -Alternative to unaffordable Mortgages Payments
Foreclosure is the process of regaining a property from a borrower and returning it to the lender due to default of payment on the loan or some other type of hardship. This is generally due to an inability by the borrower to catch up on their payments or otherwise maintain their financial responsibilities. When this type of foreclosure happens, it is easy to see that the home is lost and the borrower has nothing to show for all the money they put into their mortgage aside from lost equity and bad credit. With all of the damage that occurs in the foreclosure, it only makes sense to make as much effort as possible in order to avoid this particular process.
Modifying a loan is basically the idea of changing the terms between the borrower and the lender. By changing the terms so that the borrower has some friendlier standards to deal with, they have a better chance of catching up on their bills and possibly repaying the loan on time. When homeowners and borrowers are in these types of extreme financial difficulties, these loan modifications can be the only way out of a bad situation and can help to keep the borrower from going into foreclosure and losing their home. While the foreclosure is certainly difficult for the borrower, it is also bad for the lender, as they consider the monthly payment to be a regular level of income that is important to their income and revenue stream. A foreclosure can cause both the borrower and lender all manner of difficulty in the long run in the matter of lost revenue and bad credit. While there is all manner of difficulties for both, it is important to note that the lender is motivated to keep the homeowner or borrower from having to be foreclosed on. In the effort to attain a modified loan, it is important to start as early as possible in order to save as much money as you can.
By utilizing loss mitigation and loan modification, the idea is to come up with some type of agreement that will keep the homeowner in their home without being foreclosed on and keeping their credit from being damaged. With so much attention being paid to this type of foreclosure, it isn't hard to see that there are many individuals who could benefit from this type of loan modification to stay out of trouble with their lender.
While it is certainly not easy to stop foreclosure once it has drawn near, it is not as hard as you might originally think. With the help of an outside party that can prepare a detailed financial analysis and conduct a survey of the best possible alternatives for you choose from, you can come to terms with your lender and come up with a solution that works for both parties involved and keep the borrower from defaulting on their loan and being forced into foreclosure.
If you're behind on your mortgage payment, you will naturally want to begin right away and not waste any time. With all the attention being paid to reducing your monthly payments, it only makes sense to begin that much sooner in order to save money. When mortgage loan modification experts attempt to repair the damage done to your mortgage, they take a look at your particular situation and try to ascertain what hardships contributed to the current situation and attempt to alleviate these difficulties and arrange payments for you to repay your loan over time.

Out of the box thoughts about mortgage loan modification
Many consumers today find themselves in a need to modify their mortgage loan. The reasons could be many but regardless of why the process is usually uncomfortable and a bit scary.
Mortgage loan modification is the process of changing the terms of your mortgage. There are a few terms that can be changed such as the term of the mortgage the interest rate on it and so on. Some other things that can be modified are applying for interest only payments for a period of time or changing the principal on the loan.
It is important to be prepared before approaching your lender with regard to a mortgage loan modification. Mortgage loan modification is a negotiation process between the borrower and the lender. Like any other negotiation there should be a point where the interests of both parties match thus resulting in a successful negotiation outcome. Remember that when approaching the financial institute asking for a mortgage modification they are under no obligation to agree or to modify the loan. There must be a reason for the institute to go ahead with such a process.
The first thing to do when approaching the lender is to write down the reason why you would need the mortgage modified. For example losing a job or having your loan under water are common reasons. After writing down the reasons you should write down potential reasons for the lender to modify the loan. For example if you lost your job and can not pay your loan until you land a new job the bank has an interest to help you go through this period to prevent having the house go into foreclosure. Make sure to articulate the lender motivation as opposed to yours as when approaching the lender it is best to feed it with why this process is in its best interest.
So for example if you lost your job and can not pay the mortgage for a period of time you should go to the lender with a precise reasoning and plan. For example go to the lender and let it know that you lost your job and can not afford to pay the monthly payments until you land a new job. You should also make the lender feel confident that you are capable to land a new job. For example tell the lender you already sent your resume and hired a recruiter and that you have interviews lined up. Also provide some estimate for when you think you could land a new job.
Having the lender feel confident about you doing your homework is important. If the bank believes that your problem is indeed temporary and that you will eventually be able to pay the loan in full it will have a better incentive to help you going through that tough period. For example ask the bank to allow for lower interest only payments for a period until you land a new job. Or if that would be too much as the bank to freeze the payments for that period.
Mortgage modification is a negotiation process. In addition to letting the lender know why it is in its best interest to make the modification it is also good to let the lender know why not making the modification would result in a loss to the lender. For example let the lender understand that if you can not modify the loan you will be willing to go to a foreclosure or bankruptcy process which will result in further loss to the lender.

How to Get Help From a Loan Modification Program
Meeting monthly mortgage payments or attempting to refinance a home has become hard to do over the past year. Thankfully there is an answer in sight. A loan modification program will help borrowers who are in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. This same program will also help those who have had difficulties refinancing their home to a lower rate.
The economy has turned borrowers who used to be able to pay their mortgages into potential foreclosure risks because of pay cuts, job losses, or rapid declines in appraised values on their homes.
In fact, there are a large number of people who already owe quite a bit more than the home is currently worth. The problem is compounded by homeowners who are selling below appraised values to get out from under mortgages they can no longer afford.
There are companies that can assist you through your loan modification. Loan modifications are typically too complicated for the average person to complete on their own, and information can be hard to find. A loan modification specialist can help you skip all the hassle and efficiently guide you through the process. It is possible to get a free consultation to see if a loan modification program would help your situation.
There is a catch to the loan modification program: simply that there can only be one modification during the life of the loan. So it needs to be handled in the right way. For homeowners more than a month behind, quick action is needed in order to complete the modification process.
What the loan modification program does is to get your mortgage payments (principal and interest), your insurance, and any association fees reduced to where it is no more than 31 percent of your gross monthly income. To do this the lender adjusts first the interest rate you are paying and then the principal amount owed.
So if you have a rate of say 7 percent, then you may get a rate as low as 2% and your loan term may be extended to 40 years instead of the normal 30 years we have become accustomed to. Also the lender may then forgive a part of the principal owed, as long as the new principal amount owed is not lower than the value of the home.
Though lenders are encouraged to work with modification companies to adjust the loans, they are not required to do so. To increase lender participation, the government gives a lender incentive of $1,000 per year for up to 3 years if the borrowers remain in the program. Borrowers can also earn $1,000 per year in principal reduction for up to five years if they keep the payments current.
Borrowers currently in foreclosure or bankruptcy may be eligible under this new plan. In fact, those who have been forced to declare bankruptcy may be required by the courts to do a loan modification.
The loan modification program offers a great opportunity for borrowers who are eligible. You may want to contact professional help to gather the needed financial information and get through the process for the greatest reduction of mortgage payments.
