Right now the country is seeing record high foreclosure rates. People across the nation are literally walking away from their homes and letting them go back to the bank. The important thing to realize here is that the banks do not want the homes back. Banks are not in the real estate business, they are in the banking business. Why is this important? If you are in a situation where your mortgage payments are too high due to a financial difficulty, an adjustable rate mortgage, or other reason, there are programs available to re-negotiate the terms of your existing loan to allow for you to stay in your home and get back on top of your home loan.
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.
Take, for example, a borrower with a $400,000 mortgage loan at 8%, living in a home worth $340,000. Once the home has been foreclosed, the bank has to either re-list the home on the market or sell it at an auction. Re-listing or auctioning off the home could potentially add another $60,000 in losses for the bank.
Going off the example above, the bank will wind up losing at least $120,000. However, if the bank were to accept a modified loan and lowering the interest rate to a 30 year fixed term loan at 5.25%, the bank will net nearly $400,000 in future interest payments. It's a definite win/win situation!
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.
The costs vary for this type of program but are usually fully refundable if the attorneys are not able to modify your home loan. The types of workout remedies that they are able to achieve are amazing. They range from interest rate reductions, lower monthly payments, extended payment terms, and loan principal reduction.
We can give you a free consultation to see what can be done to best fix the financial fiasco you're dealing with.
