If you are in the middle of foreclosure right now you are wondering if anyone will listen to you and your story. You might think the lender is just a big business gone bad that just wants to kick you out of your house. It seems like there is no way you can stop your foreclosure. And once the bank has taken your home back into their colossal mess of other foreclosed homes, you are going to have no place to go, or no place you want to go. Who is going to want to rent to someone who lost their home!? Things seem pretty gloomy. Who has any answers that you can trust??
The first thing you need to do is be positive and quit pitying yourself. Lenders don’t foreclose on people who are paying them. Get tough, but don’t get angry with the people you have to deal with. It is tough, but “this too shall pass” and you will be fine even if you cannot stop the foreclosure! Life will go on and you will get through it. The next thing you need to do… and fast… is get the info you need to help yourself. Try to stop the foreclosure on your own first. Spend a little money and get a course that will help you think from a different angle. You must understand that you are caught up in your situation and it is tough to think from the lender’s point of view, but if you want to stop the foreclosure you will have to see things the way they do or you will not be able to counteract their thought process. They don’t want your house 90% of the time. If you have a lot of equity, then they might want your house because they figure they can make more money by taking it. Let’s assume you don’t have a lot of equity or you have negative equity – i.e. you owe more than it is worth. The lender definitely does not want your house because they are going to lose a lot more money by taking it back than they will if they can work something out with you. This is really important because it gives you leverage and that is what you need. You might need to prove this to them with an appraisal and estimates on what it will cost to make any repairs needed on your home. Next, you have to ask yourself why you are in foreclosure. If it is plain irresponsibility, then it is going to be hard to get the lender to work with you. However, if you are reading this I doubt you are losing your home because you are irresponsible since you are trying to figure out how to save it!! If you were irresponsible, you wouldn’t care. So, what happened? Has the problem been fixed? This is very important. You must have fixed the problem. Lost job – you must have a new one. Or if there was some sort of emergency that put you behind – is that emergency taken care of. I talked to a guy who was having trouble because he was going to be arrested if he didn’t pay his speeding tickets. So, he paid them but then didn’t have enough money to make his house payment. Lenders are not going to look very favorably on this because he was irresponsible when he got the speeding tickets and didn’t pay them right away! However, the situation is taken care of and that is a positive. It is very important that the picture be painted properly. You will want to write it out and document everything you can to show how the situation has been taken care of.
Then, like I said earlier, buy a self-help guide on how to get through this. There are a lot of them available. I personally recommend you visit this link www.mortgage-rate-predictions.com/stop-forclosures and check out this guide. You need to deal with this quickly. The longer you wait, the worse things will get and you might not be able to fix your problem. If you don’t feel that you have the time or ability to talk to the lender on your own, send me an email at matthew.wierzbinski@hotmail.com and I will send you Part II of this article.
