Foreclosure rates are at an all-time high in the US right now. Stories of houses being abandoned by their owners and turned back over to the bank are all too common. The funny thing is that the banks don't even want the houses back, as they aren't in the real estate business; they're in the business of banking. This is an important fact to keep in mind if you happen to be in a place where you can't afford to pay for your mortgage anymore. Whether you're in financial distress in general, unable to keep up with your adjustable rate mortgage or some other bind, there ARE programs out there that will help you restructure your current loan and allow you to keep your house and get your loan back in order.
Loss Mitigation, Loan Modification and Home Loan workout programs are three options you have. Many companies offer one or all of the programs just mentioned, but before signing up with any company, check them out first! Make sure they are reputable. Financial relief is possible with a successful program offered by the right company.
Let's say you have a home worth $340,000 and you have a $400,000 mortgage at 8%. If the home is foreclosed on, the bank has two options: auction it off, or re-list it. Either option could spell financial disaster for the bank, as doing so could add on another $60,000 in losses.
If the bank takes the loss by re-listing or auctioning off the home, they're looking at a total loss of nearly $120,000. A modified mortgage loan of a 30 year fixed rate, and a lower interest rate of 5.25% would instead have the bank looking forward to almost $400,000 in interest payments over the life of the new loan. Talk about win/win!
Sometimes, homeowners can work out their own loan modification, but the default rate is often over 50%. Working with an attorney to formulate a modified loan reduces the default percentage to 5% or less. As you can imagine, banks prefer working with attorneys.
Another perk to a loan modification is that if an attorney works out a loan for you and it doesn't work out, your program cost is most often refundable. Amazing results are possible with restructured loans! You could wind up seeing lower monthly payments, loan principal reductions, interest rate reductions, extended payment terms and more!
If you are having trouble making your current mortgage payments or are in an adjustable rate mortgage that has or is about to adjust, give us a call and get a free consultation to see what can be done for you. There is no charge unless we determine that we can help and you decide to get started. Give us a call at 1.888.282.1011 and ask about our home loan modification program. - 16492
