Homeowners now have the power to withstand the threat of losing their homes
from foreclosure. According to 20/20 foreclosures are at a 30 year high
across the nation.
The reason is that homeowners don’t know what their options are. Too
many homeowners are being victims to losing their homes because no one really
knows how to help them. When they seek credit counseling or see a Hud representative,
they generally don’t get the help they need and are still prone to foreclosure.
Most homeowners do not want to sell their homes but they are force to in order
to prevent a foreclosure. Most file Chapter 13 but don’t realize that
it’s just a band aid and not the source of their problem. The Chapter
13 adds another expense on top of the mortgage even thought their creditors
are place in Chapter 13 and their bills are being reduces.
Most homeowners will be right back in a pre-foreclosure within a few months
because of mismanagement of household expenses and not enough income.
Investors claim they help homeowners save their credit, what they are really
doing is helping themselves to the homeowners equity.
Mortgage lenders are advertising “We will re-finance with less than perfect
credit” but they don’t tell you 30 percent equity in the property
is require in a pre-foreclosure.
Realtors will list the house for sale knowing it will take a good 90 days or
better to get a qualify buyer. The homeowner will lose their home by that time.
Internet foreclosure companies ordered some course off the internet claiming
they can make $5,000 per month helping homeowners stop foreclosures. These
companies don’t have a clue how to do it.
If all they can do is get you qualified for a re-payment plan, then they really
have not help the homeowner. The collection department will make a re-payment
plan their first choice because they really don’t want to spent the time
it takes to give the homeowner a workable plan.
The only thing the internet foreclosure companies really know how to do is
take your money and not give it back when they can’t help you. ( Note:
Paying online foreclosure company and out of state is dangerous to your wealth).
I know, because I have seen homeowners lose thousands going this route because
of desperation.
Homeowner can save thousands and eliminate the stress that is associated with
a pre-foreclosure. No longer do they have to fall victims to the hungry predators
zeroing in for the kill.
Mortgage lender will work with the homeowner if the homeowner present a workable
plan.
