Most believe that stop foreclosure laws are designed to hurt rather than help
them. Not so. The secret is that foreclosure laws have evolved to protect the
borrower--not the bad lender. The secret is out! Stop foreclosure and listen
closely and understand why I say this. The foreclosure process gives you, the
borrower, specific periods of time in which to: bring your loan current by
making up the missed payments (known as "reinstatement"), or pay off your loan
in its entirety (called "redemption").
If neither of these options is
feasible, you will still have time to prevent your property from being sold at a
public auction (the stopping foreclosure). GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in
solving these problems.
You will get the most benefit out of the foreclosure
process if you envision this secret as a "window of opportunity" to resolve your
financial problems. During this window of opportunity, you have time to learn
about the foreclosure process and implement a strategy to stop the foreclosure.
Another basic misconception about foreclosure is that lenders want to foreclose.
Nothing could be further from the truth! Lenders are in the business of loaning
money--not owning real estate.
They don't want your house back for numerous
reasons. Lenders are reluctant to incur the costs of a foreclosure. For example,
if your lender is forced to foreclose, it will not only lose your back payments,
but it will also incur foreclosure expenses, taxes, insurance, wear and tear
while you (or your tenant) live in the property, repair costs to refurbish the
property for sale, and a real estate agent's commission once the property is
sold. As a result, many lenders will go out of their way to work out a
resolution--short of actually foreclosing--if you give them the
opportunity.
secret to stopping your foreclosure is communicating with your
lender. With the sudden avalanche of foreclosures and defaults, lenders are more
eager than ever before to workout a solution rather than foreclosing. Lenders
will do almost anything to avoid increasing their overflowing REO inventory of
foreclosed properties.
Don't shy away because you've missed payments, divest
debt concerned that you will miss some payments in the future, or that your
property has already gone into foreclosure. Whether you communicate by
telephone, letter, email, fax, or in person, you will have a much easier time
stopping (or at the very least, delaying) the foreclosure if you talk to your
lender rather than adopting a code of silence. The secret is to negotiate
directly with divest debt someone with "authority" at your lender's office. The
first step is to determine who your lender actually is. (This is no small feat
these days with lenders selling their loans to other lenders like hot potatoes.)
If your property has already gone into foreclosure, the first person you will be
dealing with will either be the foreclosing trustee, or the attorney for the
lender. If it is a avoid foreclosure, you will most likely be contacted by a
process server, sent by the lender's attorney. If it is a non-judicial
foreclosure, the trustee is responsible for handling the avoid foreclosure
process. You will need to contact GuaranteedLoanHelp.com as they are experts in
solving these problems.
When a person becomes late on their monthly
house payment, eventually the lender will begin foreclosure proceedings which in
most cases will start with a notice of default or a lis pendens recorded with
the county where the property is located. There are data companies that
collect this information, and sell the information on a subscription basis.
That is why, shortly after the notice is recorded, the homeowner is usually
deluged with mail, phone calls and people knocking on the door offering various
forms of assistance and/or foreclosure prevention. The Stop Foreclosure page on
this site covers bankruptcy and investor offers along with some sources for
homeowner assistance. This page will just cover Foreclosure Bailout Loans and
Lease/Buyback Arrangements that require transfer of the property into someone
else's name. Bailout loans are included because there have recently been more
and more offerings called a "loan" that in reality is a property
transfer.
This page will describe a common method of Lease/Buyback, points
where a consumer should pay close attention will be marked in bold.
The
process begins with contact between the person offering the L/B and the
distressed homeowner. The solution presented to the distressed homeowner is to
transfer the property out of their name, stay in the home and lease the property
for a year or more, then repurchase the property after the homeowner's credit
has improved. The fee for accomplishing this is stated as free, or at a very
nominal cost. We'll discuss the actual costs further down this page.
The
property transfer will normally be accomplished by use of a quitclaim deed,
which transfers any interest the homeowner may have in the property into a land
trust. If the deed is recorded at the county recorder's office, it is not
readily obvious to anyone searching the records that ownership has changed, it
only indicates the property went into a trust. It is important to note that
transferring title does not remove the owner's obligations under their loan. The
homeowner still owes on the loan, but no longer owns the security for that loan.
If the homeowner, or the Lease/Buyback purchaser does not make up past due
payments and continue making payments, the lender WILL foreclose.
GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in solving these problems.
The Lease:
Leases can be written with different terms, but a previous homeowner should note
that if you are leasing, you DO NOT own the property. Any statements you make,
or forms you sign indicating you are the homeowner will not be accurate or
truthful. A common monthly rental amount under a lease/buyback arrangement will
be 1% of the amount of the property transfer, for a lease period of 12
months.
Property transfer of $100,000 will have 12 lease payments of $1,000
or $12,000
Property transfer of $200,000 will have 12 lease payments of
$2,000 or $24,000
Property transfer of $300,000 will have 12 lease payments
of $3,000 or $36,000
Lease payments for a personal residence are not
tax-deductible and there is no paydown on loan principal, it is just money going
to someone else for the use of the space. Remember a few paragraphs up where
lease buyback programs are being promoted as being free? They're not. One of the
terms that will be written into the lease will be a requirement that the lease
payments be on time. If you aren't able to make your lease payments, you'll
loose your option to repurchase the property and get evicted as well.
The
Loan Discount: Lenders will sometimes allow a reduced payoff for a loan if it is
obvious a foreclosure is inevitable and a third party purchaser is willing to
buy the property at a price lower than the full payoff. What determines when a
foreclosure is inevitable? Commonly, when loan payments aren't being made, and
the borrower isn't communicating with the lender. What is a third party
purchaser? Someone who is not connected/related to the borrower willing to
purchase the property at a price they consider attractive. Lenders generally
will not consider a loan discount if title to the property has already been
transferred.
The Buyback: The buyback price after the lease period is
over can be anything the parties agree on. One company promotes that they will
re-sell the property to the previous owner for 95% of the current market value.
Most "damaged credit" lenders will only lend to about 75% of the current market
value. So, how's the previous owner going to qualify for financing since their
credit is heavily damaged? They do owner financing. They draft a new mortgage
for 90% of the property's value, then they backdate it to the time the lease was
originated. They then use the lease payments for verification that mortgage
payments have been made on time. The backdated loan, along with its questionable
verifications, is then sold on the secondary market. If the previous owner can't
come up with the difference between the 95% repurchase price and the 90% loan,
they can also get a short term loan from the company.

Working with a professional such as GUARANTEED LOAN HELP.COM who

choice. We can assess your financial situation and help you determine your best
strategy. Some lenders are extremely hard to deal with. GUARANTEED LOAN
HELP.COM knows how to handle lenders.
Following are some Foreclosure
Resolution Strategies:
Total Reinstatement
Repayment
Plan
Forbearance Plan
Loan Modification
Partial
Claim Program
Refinance
Shortsale/Preforeclosure
Sale
Bankruptcy
Total Reinstatement
This process
involves totally bringing your loan current in one payment. You will be
required to provide a certified check in an amount, which will include all past
due payments, late charges and any fees and costs, which have been assessed to
your account.
Repayment Plan: This process involves making up the amount
past due over a period of months by paying a full payment plus a partial payment
on the past due balance each month. You will be required to give your lender a
cast contribution equivalent to 40-50% of your total arrears (total of late
payments, bank fees and attorneys fees). Coming up with such a lump sum is
quite difficult for homeowners who just faced a hardship. That is when working
with GuaranteedLoanHelp.com can be very beneficial. We are able to give you
some time to come up with some money to offer your lender. The keys to getting
into one of these plans are:
Your hardship: A financial statement that
qualifies you. GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in solving these
problems.
Forbearance Plan: This process involves the reduction or
suspension of payments for a period of time followed by a period of time during
which the deferred payments are made up, similar to the repayment
plan.
Loan Modification: This process involves the change of the original
terms of the mortgage through one or a combination of the following methods:
Delinquent interest amount to the current unpaid balance, and/or An extension of
the term of the mortgage. A loan modification requires the prior approval of the
loan company or investor. A modification fee will be charged. A cash
contribution toward compliance with any additional requirements of the lender
and/or investor.
Partial Claim Program: Certain loans qualify for this
program, in which the homeowner is required to give a cash contribution
equivalent to 40-50% of total arrears, and the remainder of arrears is loaned to
the homeowner interest free. The homeowner will have the remaining term of the
mortgage to pay off this loan in full. GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in
solving these problems.
Refinance: This is another one of the more
heavily marketed solutions. The main barrier that most people run into with
refinancing is not having enough equity to obtain a "sub prime" or "bruised
credit" loan. This is the type of loan that you will most likely need to
refinance into due to your foreclosure situation. Another problem is that
mortgage companies have a history of reporting to their borrowers that
"everything is fine", when in fact nothing is usually set in stone until the
final loan papers are drawn up.
It is generally not recommended to leave
your entire fate in the hands of a mortgage company. It is too easy for them to
back out in the final hour, leaving you in a very dangerous situation.
In
many cases where enough equity exists, refinancing can be a simple solution.
This can be done through a new mortgage company, or through a negotiation with
the current lender in which they refinance the current mortgage to include the
past due amount (the arrears). With this form of financing, new loan documents
are drafted. Be aware that if there are any other mortgages on the property,
second mortgage, home equity loans, etc., these junior lien-holders must agree
to remain in their present lien-holder position by entering into a subordination
agreement with the primary lender. If there are no other mortgages, the process
is much simpler. The homeowner will benefit from this type of refinancing in
that the lender will wrap the past due payments into the new loan. (much like a
loan modification) The biggest barrier that is faced in exercising this option
is a lack of equity. A straight refinance usually works only if you have
substantial equity in your homes.
Shortsale/Preforeclosure Sale: This
strategy can be attempted with great success if you don't have the funds or the
ability to keep your home. A shortsale is when the lender agrees to accept less
than the full principle plus arrears as payment in full in exchange for being
paid off right away. The most the lender will usually discount is ten to fifteen
percent of the full amount owed. The prudent lender will cut their losses,
saving money from being spent on additional foreclosure costs and legal fees
versus taking the property back and then having to market and sell the
property.
This strategy of a shortsale is usually performed through a third
party professional and who is also experienced in negotiating shortsales. The
lender factors in something that they call the "time-value of money". The
experience and expertise of the professionals that you use will have much to do
with the success or failure of the technique. Make sure that the people you use
specifically have experience successfully negotiating shortsales.

Bankruptcy:
Generally speaking, of the various chapters of Bankruptcy available, the option
that provides the most protection to a homeowner who has substantial arrears and
is trying to save his/her house is Chapter 13. Discussing the many details of
the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is beyond the scope of this
information being provided. Bankruptcy is a severe form of financial
reorganization since it involves government intervention into your financial
affairs as well as publicly blemishes your credit report for several years. In
order to file for bankruptcy, a filing fee must be paid, plus any attorney
costs, and an assortment of forms and schedules must be filed with the clerk of
the Federal Bankruptcy Court. Both extreme care and honesty must be exercised
while filling out these forms and schedules. Mistakes can result in a dismissal
of the petition as well as non-discharge of certain debts.

First of all, you need to be
aware that a mortgage lender can foreclose your home for two reasons. The first
one is defaulting on your payments. If you are late, or going to be late, DO
SOMETHING! Generally, lenders will issue a Notice of Default, or Notice of
Foreclosure, if you miss three mortgage payments consecutively. Another possible
ground for foreclosure would be a violation on a major regulation or policy of
the lender.
In most cases, the reason for a home foreclosure is due to a
default in payments. For some home owners, they waited too long before taking
any action that would have prevented this. Don’t wait until the second or third
delay on your payment or for a Notice of Default before taking the initiative to
get help. We help all those that need it, because we know how receiving a Notice
of Foreclosure is devastating. But early on, you have some time before the any
foreclosure takes place. The god news is that banks and lenders are not happy
about foreclosing properties. Bank owned properties involve lots of work, time
and money for the bank, and they are not in business to do this.
GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in solving these problems.
Even if it’s
just a single payment that you missed, it would be wise to get help quick. We
could help get that help right away. This is especially true if you know that
there is risk that you might not keep up with your monthly mortgage for the
coming months. You may have injury, and cannot go to work, or you might have
needed the money for an emergency or you might have been laid off from work.
Whatever the reason, do not hide behind the fact that your having financial
difficulties.
Some lenders will waive some of your penalty fees to help you
with the unpaid mortgage fees. They can also give you an extended time period so
you can find enough money to pay what is due. A mortgage company can also enable
you to refinance your existing mortgage loan without the need to go through the
whole process of re-application. This is known as Loan Modification which means
you can be granted a new loan without the need to wait for an approval or
processing. GuaranteedLoanHelp.com are experts in solving these
problems.
With these provisions in mind, it is important to have help and
someone who knows the ropes. This way, your lender can work with someone
knowledgeable and they together will extend sufficient time to make the needed
adjustments on your mortgage terms. If you decide to wait until they have
already filed foreclosure, it will only be more difficult and you could easily
lose you home, for then it may be late to request for reasonable
accommodation.
If you really want to avoid foreclosure it is very possible to
get it done. Banks and lending institutions really do not like to take back
property. They are in the business to sell loans and not homes. If you can show
any kind of sign that you will work with a lender you just may be able to avoid
foreclosure and keep your home. Don’t allow more time go by and the stress of
failed payments or other conditions to ruin your future. If you take action now
you could avoid foreclosure by contacting Guaranteed Loan
Help.
