The worst way to lose a home is through foreclosure. There is a lot of talk about foreclosures these days. Millions of Americans have lost their homes to foreclosure in the last few years. Foreclosure is the legal process that allows your lender to take ownership of your property if you don’t pay your mortgage. The process usually begins after you miss 4 payments (when your account is 120 days past due). If you can’t find another solution (such as a loan modification or short sale), the process ends with your home being sold in a foreclosure sale. But homeowners facing foreclosure have multiple options available in today’s market.
If you’re having trouble paying your mortgage, learn about the steps you can take to avoid foreclosure or to minimize your debt after it happens. Quick action is the key to success. Don’t just walk away from your home.
Better yet, contact us by filling out the form or calling 512-271-5044 and we can guide you through ALL the options at your disposal for stopping foreclosure.
It’s important to understand that foreclosure follows its own path and timeline, distinct from the mortgage assistance process. That means the foreclosure process can begin and continue even while you’re actively working with us to find options that may help you avoid a foreclosure sale.
Don’t give up and let the lender foreclose on your home without considering your options. A foreclosure will hurt your credit rating and make it difficult, if not impossible, to buy another home anytime soon. In addition, if the profits from selling your home don’t cover the unpaid portion of your loan, your lender might sue you for the rest.
Your best options if you’re having trouble making mortgage payments include:
• negotiating with your lender
• getting government help
• filing for bankruptcy
• selling your home yourself or negotiating a short sale.
Before you decide what to do, make sure you understand all of your options and their consequences. Next to that be aware of scam artists. People facing foreclosure are often preyed upon by others claiming they’ll help but then are charged large sums of money.
