Florida Reverse Banker Offers Solutions to Seniors to Stop Foreclosure with Reverse Mortgage

May 13, 2012 - PRLog -- It is imperative that seniors review their options concerning using a reverse mortgage to stop a foreclosure immediately, after the current mortgage goes into a default status the fees of attorney’s loan interest accumulation and forced place insurance can make the payoff increase by thousands of dollars more than what you may currently owe which can only make the process more complicated than it already is.  
Local Tampa Florida Mortgage Banker Chris Beard discloses how to stop a foreclosure with a reverse mortgage even if you are short on the equity to pay off the loan.
The reverse mortgage consultant will have to determine with whom to discuss the settlement the forward lender or attorney and if the forward lender will work with us to agree upon a settlement payoff or in many instances a “short payoff” if the loan amount is higher than what is available under the reverse mortgage loan.
Typically a reverse mortgage will provide a loan amount of anywhere from 50-80% of the current appraised home value, the reverse mortgage lender also offer more money the older you are. Often times to stop a foreclosure we will have to present a preliminary settlement statement or estimate to pay off the loan to the forward lender to get them to agree to a “short pay”.
“Using a reverse mortgage to stop foreclosure can be complicated the worse thing is to bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away, if you want to keep your home and be in a better financial position with no further mortgage payments quickly contact a reverse mortgage consultant and give them as much detail as you can to start working on a payoff proposal and forward lender acceptance.”  says Chris Beard, a mortgage originator based in Tampa Florida.
For most seniors a mortgage is the single largest financial investment they will make during their lifetime. Lenders prefer to avoid foreclosure...the process is very costly for them. It may be possible that your mortgage professional will be able to negotiate with the lender to accept a payoff that is less than the loan balance due. The senior keeps their home payment free and the lender removes the non-producing loan off their books.
