Loss
Mitigation Programs That Stop Foreclosure Fast!
Stop
Foreclosure with Loss Mitigation Programs; Loss
mitigation programs were established by the
federal government and the mortgage industry in
order to stop home foreclosures. They help
foreclosure victims in default on their
mortgages to find alternatives to home
foreclosure. Every homeowner's situation is
unique and each lender has their own policies
regarding the use of these programs to stop
foreclosure. Our extensive experience and solid
working relationships with mortgage lenders
allows us help you avoid the common pitfalls
that many homeowners encounter while trying to
work things out directly with their lender.
After performing a thorough assessment of your
personal finances and analyzing your lender's
loss mitigation policies our professional loss
mitigators will negotiate with your lender to
get you the best possible solution to your home
foreclosure problem. We can help you save your
home and credit history through a variety of
loss mitigation options:
1. LOAN
MODIFICATION
(Available on a very limited number of VA loans
with lender and/or investor approval) (Called
Recast for FHA)
If you have
incurred a long term financial hardship, our
office can assist you in supplying the
appropriate information to lender to take the
appropriate measures to modify the term(s) of
your mortgage. This could lower the interest
rate and/or extend the term of the loan
resulting in lower payments. There are costs and
fees associated with a modification that you
will be responsible for. All property taxes must
be current or you must be participating in an
approved payment plan with your taxing authority
to be eligible for a modification. Any
additional liens or mortgagees must agree to be
subordinate to the first mortgage. All requests
are subject to your lender's approval. Click

2. VA
LOAN MODIFICATION/REFUNDING
(Available for VA loans only) (Need at least 30
days to process)
A refunding is
when the VA buys your loan from the lender.
Refunding may give VA the flexibility to
consider options to help you save your home that
your current lender either could not or would
not consider. When the VA refunds a loan under
38 U.S.C. 36.4318, the delinquency is added to
the principal balance and the loan is
re-amortized. Your new loan will be
non-transferable without prior approval from the
Secretary. If your interest rate was lowered and
an assumption is approved, the interest rate
will be adjusted back to the previous rate. Click

3. SHORT
PAYOFF
(Short Sale) (Pre-foreclosure Sale) (Compromise
Of Sale)
If you have
suffered a long term financial hardship and are
unable to maintain your loan or if you need to
sell the property to avoid a default loss on the
property, it is possible that the lender may be
able to accommodate you with a short payoff. A
qualified buyer is required. If this is an
option you wish to pursue, you must inform the
loss mitigation specialist assisting you
immediately. There may be tax ramifications
associated with any short payoff or foreclosure;
therefore, we recommend you contact your tax
advisor for details. Some states permit lenders
to seek a deficiency judgment for the amount the
payoff was discounted. See your state's
foreclosure law for more information. Check with
an attorney for advice on your personal
situation. Click

4.
DEED-IN-LIEU OF FORECLOSURE
If you have
incurred a long term financial hardship and your
house has been on the market (at fair market
value) for at least 90 days, you may be eligible
for a deed-in lieu of foreclosure. To be
considered for this option, you must complete a
financial package and provide a copy of your
recent active listing agreement. Also, there
cannot be any additional claims or liens (other
the mortgage) against the property. If you are
approved for a deed-in-lieu, you will be giving
up all rights to the property and the property
will be conveyed to your investor. In exchange
for the deed-in-lieu, the lender may waiver all
deficiency judgment rights. You may be asked to
participate in a Short Payoff program before a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is accepted. Click

5.
REPAYMENT PLAN
If you have
incurred a short term financial hardship and
your loan is two or more months past due, your
loss mitigation specialist will also consider
submitting a request for a payment plan to your
lender for approval. Only after reviewing your
financial situation will this option be
considered. All clients must be able to show
that they can afford this plan in order to be
eligible. Click

6.
SPECIAL FORBEARANCE
(FHA loans only) (Type I & II)
If you have
incurred a short term financial hardship and
your loan is 90 days to 365 days past due, the
loss mitigation specialist will also consider
submitting a request for a special forbearance.
A special forbearance is designed to provide you
with more relief than is possible with a regular
repayment plan. Typical approval can result in
spreading the repayment over 12 to 18 months.
Type II - can be utilized in an unemployment
situation whereby the promise of future
employment is present. We have done VA loans
that resulted 27-month repayment plans. Click

7.
PARTIAL CLAIM
(FHA mortgages only) (Some Freddie Mac Investor
loans)
The loss
mitigation specialist may assist in requesting a
partial claim if you qualify. You may be
eligible if your loan is 120 to 365 days past
due. A partial claim results in placing your
past due payments into a subordinate mortgage
(2nd mortgage) between you and the Secretary of
Housing Urban Development. The partial claim
note will require you to start making payments
when you pay off the first mortgage. There is no
interest. The partial claim can be for no more
than 12 months of past due payments. Click
