Loan Modification to Avoid Foreclosure


There are many legal techniques to Avoid Foreclosure. A loan modification is a written agreement between the borrower and the lender that permanently changes one or more of the original terms of your note to make the payments more affordable. A loan modification can be an effective legal strategy that will help you save your home from foreclosure.
1. The borrowers interest rate and/or term of loan is altered extending the numbers of years that must be repaid on the loan, in other words, the mortgage note itself is changed.
2. Common loan modifications include adding missed payments to the existing loan balance or making an adjustable-rate mortgage into a fixed-rate mortgage.
Disadvantages of a Loan Modification:
- There are lenders that will only work with borrowers that are 60-90 days behind, only giving the borrower a short window to negotiate a work out option. Once the mortgage is in default, the borrowers credit takes a hit and limits the borrowers options.
Loan Modification Example:
K. Patrice Williams has a BA in Economics as well as a law degree. She has successfully managed both residential and commercial multi-million dollar income producing assets and budgets for more than 10 years. As a 1st year law student, Patrice established a real estate development and consulting business and acquired over 30 rental properties. As the housing market values decreased- like millions of other Americans-her properties were negatively impacted by shifting ARM's, combined by a sluggish economy. Patrice has researched and personally implemented almost all of the pre-foreclosure techniques detailed in the book: "6 Simple Steps to Avoid Foreclosure".http://www.avoidforeclosuremanual.com

Foreclosure Company Scams

I spoke to a friend that I had lost touch with, yesterday, and she told me that she just spent $1,500 with a Foreclosure Company that guaranteed that they would save her home from foreclosure. Whats disheartening is that she hasn't heard from them in over a month and they don't employ any techniques that are different than I teach in my $19.99 book. What's worse that spending $1,500 that you could have put toward your loan modification? Giving up control of the communication to your lender when you are in a time sensitive process as important as the Foreclosure Timetable.

If you have given your hard earned money to a Foreclosure Company, at very least, call the bank right away to see where your process is. The lender will let you know if they have received all the paperwork is (example: is the loan modification in process). Of course, you don't know what loan modification process I'm talking about unless you spring another $19.99 for my book...but its worth the price.
