Foreclosure Prevention Options
|
|
Depending on your circumstances, you may have the following options:
Reinstatement Plan
A reinstatement plan is the quickest method for preventing a foreclosure
but requires a lump-sum payment of the total amount that is past due
including late fees and Lender Attorney costs
Repayment Plan
Similar to the reinstatement plan, however, the
lender agrees to let you repay part of the delinquency each month, along
with your regular monthly payment. This means your monthly payment will
increase, in the short-term. A portion of the past due amount, usually
25- 50%, may be required upfront.
Loan Modification/Loan Restructuring
We perform a complete personal financial analysis
to determine what amount you can reasonably afford each month. Then we
work with your lender to modify the terms of your loan, e.g. change your
current interest rate, term, or amount of your principal balance. Any
amount past-due, including interest and escrows are factored into the
negotiations and will be re-amortized. Once completed, you will no
longer be behind on your mortgage payments, resolving your current
crisis.
Loan Refinance
Given the current lending environment it can be difficult to secure new
financing, especially if you have recent late payments on your credit
report, but refinancing can still be an option.
Loan Forbearance
Loan Forbearance allows you to delay or reduce
payments in the short term, with the understanding that you will bring
the mortgage current in the future. This option is typically combined
with a reinstatement or repayment plan, provided you can demonstrate
your ability to repay in the future.
Partial Claim
Only available on FHA loans… Take advantage of the FHA Insurance
Fund, we will begin discussions with your Lender to agree to making a
one-time payment, using an interest free loan due when you payoff the
loan or when you sell the property.
Leaseback
A leaseback, also known as sale and leaseback, is
when you sell your home to a third-party or give it back to the Lender
and they agree to lease it back to you. This way you can avoid a
foreclosure and stay in your home.
Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure
A Deed in lieu of foreclosure will allow you to
legally turn your house back over to your Lender to avoid a foreclosure.
You will sign a new Deed conveying your interest in the property to the
Lender. The Lender will save money by foregoing the expense of a public
auction and attorney fees and you will forego foreclosure proceedings.
Short Sale / Pre-Foreclosure Sale
If it is determined that you can no longer afford
your home, even after modifying the payment or terms, but you owe more
on your home than it’s current value, then a Short Sale may be right for
you. Negotiating with your Lender to take less than the amount owed, in
exchange for you selling the home, will prevent foreclosure and save
the Lender money.
