What Makes The Process Difficult?

The banks give homeowners a hard time when they try to modify their mortgage. Bank representatives shuffle homeowners between departments giving different answers to basic questions. You have to fill out applications and provide documents over and over. They might lose the documents, or say the application has expired and tell you to do it all over again. This process can be costly and can drag on for months—or years! Sometimes the application gets wrongly denied, or denied without you being given any reason whatsoever. While this is happening, you’ve gotten further behind in your mortgage payments.

 

Loan Modification Is THE Best Tool

If you are facing the risk of losing your home to foreclosure, a loan modification is the #1 option. If you qualify, then a load modification will give you the most desirable outcome, as opposed to a bankruptcy. A loan mod will roll all of your missed payments into the principal and the loan payments will be recalculated based on an interest rate of not usually more than 4% and a term of 30 years.
