| | Stop Foreclosure Part 1: 4 Simple Steps You Can Take Right Now to Stop The Sale Written by John Davis
Here are 4 steps you can take right now to escape foreclosure:1. Talk to your bank when you first get behind. You want o put this behind you and not let this get out of hand. You want all of stresses to go away, however, if you do not talk to bank and be open to different options, matter will only continue to get worse. I have seen people avoid bank at all costs at first believing there will be this miracle to happen, only in end to find out it is too late for them to do anything. I do believe in miracles. I do believe that you have to be proactive and looking for that miracle before it will be given to you. The longer you wait, more fees that you will incur. Attorney fees run around $1600 for bank to conduct a foreclosure. If you wait to reinstate at last minute, you are one that has to pay for these fees. 2. Ask bank for a forbearance agreement. This is an agreement to help you get caught up on monthly payment. For example, if you were 4 months behind on your house payment, bank may be willing to stop process if you were to bring 2 months worth of payments in. Usually, bank will require you to get your tax returns and fill out some paperwork to do this. If so, fill out paperwork completely and get it back to them as soon as possible. If you are not sure about a question, call representative that you are working with. Be responsible and take action. Bank representatives are only human, they are given 200 foreclosure files every month to try to resolve. So be patient with person you are dealing. Do not scream or yell your frustrations, as this will only cause more problems for yourself. So be understanding, explain to them that you understand how hard their job is and this will create a bond with person you are dealing with which is important because this will be person that is going to bat for you when they talk about getting approvals with their boss. There are companies out there charging fees up front for doing this. Do not pay anyone up front to negotiate with bank a forbearance agreement. The people that want money up front will not make any guarantee while you are out $300-$400, this puts you taking all risk for someone else to get situation resolved. If you want to go this route, then hire someone that gets paid on performance after they have worked out a possible solution. Usually these consultants will work harder to get your situation resolved because their pay will depend on it. 3. Refinance you current loan or getting a 2nd mortgage. This is a very unlikely scenario, but I have seen it happen. Usually, if you are in foreclosure, there is only a slim chance to getting a refinance or another loan. You really have to look within to see if this is a real solution or if it just going to overload you even more. Imagine having another payment that you have to worry about plus all of your existing payments, how does it make you feel? Be sure to be real with yourself. Do not overestimate and say “well I am going to work more hours to pay for this” or “I am going to go get another job so that I can pay for it”. You have more to worry about than just your pride and your home. You may have a wife or a family that solely depends on you. If so, be real with yourself, ask for help and move on to get a fresh start. In addition, your health is also more important than any house or financial obligation could ever be. Do you have any idea what kind of impact these types of stresses have on your health? I can assure you it is not favorable. So, be real and be committed to getting problem resolved for good. Look at big picture instead of short-term view.
