Programs Offered
Here are the options available to you when you work with us:
• Restructure/Modification - We can negotiate with your lender to try and get your loan in good standing again. There are many options available to us to get a restructure approved like a separate payment plan for your delinquency or even adding the delinquency to the end of your loan. In most cases we can negotiate a lower monthly payment! We can also try and negotiate with your lenders to have your ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) converted to a Fixed Rate mortgage. • Reinstatement - Pay your lender(s) all of your past due payments to bring your mortgage current. This option is rarely feasible.
• Short Sale - We may be able to negotiate a Short Sale on your behalf with your lender(s). In this instance the lender may take less than what you owe on the loan to avoid a lengthy and costly foreclosure process.
• Deed-in-lieu of Foreclosure - We might be able to arrange for you to simply give the home back to the lender and walk away with a clean slate. • Bankruptcy - This is a last resort. This will only save your home temporarily. If you miss one payment during this process the lender will put you right back into foreclosure. • Foreclosure - You may elect to allow the home to be entered into mortgage foreclosure. This is the most damaging to you. The lender will take your home and all of your equity. If there is no equity, your lender may get a deficiency judgment against you and come after you to repay the shortage or "deficiency". This is the most damaging to your credit and your ability to acquire another home loan.
• Special Forbearance/Reduce Payment Plan - this is suggested as a temporary solution to keep you in your home while you sell the property. This allows you to avoid foreclosure and minimize the damage done to your credit rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Loan Modification?
A
Loan Modification is when the bank allows a change in the terms of your
existing mortgage. The purpose of a modification is to ultimately and
significantly lower your monthly payments, for either a temporary or
permanent period of time.
2. Who qualifies for a loan modification?
Anyone
that is having trouble paying their existing loan. In today’s housing
conditions banks are willing to work with mortgage holders that are
having trouble paying their mortgage. However, high probability
characteristics are homeowners currently in an adjustable rate mortgage,
have a high interest rate, are upside down on their home, and/or
experiencing any kind of hardship.
3. Why will it work for me?
The
government has asked for ALL lending banks to help in the foreclosure
epidemic and modify mortgages for all troubled homeowners. This site
will automatically produce your Bank Ready Loan Modification Package.
Going to your lender with a complete modification package that has been
reviewed by our loan modification consultants, will make a scary process
seem simple.
4. What if my credit is bad?
A Loan Modification is not based on credit. The banks are trying to make a good loan out of a troubled loan.
5. What if I have no equity or I am upside on my home?
It
does not matter! Some banks are doing principal reduction, which means
the bank will discount the total loan amount to the current value of
your home. This is called a principal reduction and is becoming popular
for banks.
6. What if my income is too low?
You
will need to show the bank you or all others in your household can
afford the new payment. This is done in our Pre- Qualification when you
start the process.
7. What should I expect the terms to be on my new loan?
Banks
have rapidly changing guidelines for Loan Modifications. A bank will
typically modify your loan into a loan you can afford and continue to
pay. This may include a lower interest rate, payment reschedule,
principal reduction, longer terms or any other function that will make
and keep the loan performing.
8. How much can I really save by doing a loan modification?
Hundreds
or Thousands a month. Remember, a Loan is typically for 30 years. So
the Loan Modification that saves you $500 a month, really equals
$150,000 over the life of the loan.
9. Does every bank do loan modifications?
Almost all banks do. We are in a housing crisis and banks are willing to work with clients to help save their homes.
10. How does the bail out bill affect my chances of getting a loan modification?
The
government is telling banks they need to do their part to fix the
housing crisis. The Bail Out Bill will only help your chances of getting
a Loan Modification. The government is no offering incentives to banks
and servicers and even homeowners depending on certain criteria.

14. What is the difference between doing a loan modification myself, a modification firm, or hiring an attorney?
A
Loan Modification firm will charge you a high fee ($2000-$5000) to
submit the docs that you can submit yourself. Banks are willing to help
their clients with a Loan Modification with out an Attorney. What is
important, is you have the CORRECT, BANK APPROVED documents ready for
submission, so the bank can efficiently and more effectively review your
case. This is where we come in.
