Follow on Google News | Dont Run From Foreclosure ! Get InformedIf you have a problem property you are probably wondering what to do. Should you try to work things out with the bank? Do you list with a real estate agent? Do you try to refinance? Will you have to file bankruptcy?
By: Alex Switalski Bottom line, your lender doesn’t want your house. No matter how many problems it may be causing you, it’s just another problem that they don’t want. But I might. My company helps people with problem properties, exclusively. I may be able to help you keep your house, I may be able to help sell it, or I might be able to buy it outright. If you have a problem property you are probably wondering what to do. Should you try to work things out with the bank? Do you list with a real estate agent? Do you try to refinance? Will you have to file bankruptcy? Should you sell all of your possessions and move to Central America? I’m not trying to be funny – I know how confusing it can be to sort through the pressures and anxiety that a problem property can cause. Many people in this situation become so overwhelmed, that they don’t do anything. They’re too afraid to make the wrong decision – too afraid to try something that only puts them right back where they began. They also don’t know what to believe. Real estate is in the news daily, and most of the news is negative. It seems as if no one has a handle on the housing market these days. Real estate agents will always say times are good; meanwhile the mortgage broker down the street is closing his shop along with the local title company. Remember the dot-com boom in the 90s? People were leaving their jobs to stay at home and become day traders – what happened? I often wondered how they thought that they were going to outperform those stock traders that had spent their entire careers watching the markets! Well, they didn’t. The housing market is similar. It’s changing so fast that it’s hard for people to stay up on the latest changes on the local, state and federal levels. The result is that there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Deciphering it can be confusing, costly, and time consuming. You don’t want to make any mistakes. As you are looking for a solution, there are several mistakes that you will especially want to avoid: 1) Don’t spend thousands of dollars to have an attorney file bankruptcy based on the assumption that it will make the foreclosure disappear. Many debtors will spend a lot of money for an attorney to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy – which is really a payment plan – only to lose the house. In essence you are paying the attorney, instead of the lender. Before acting, know how much the process will cost and what your new increased monthly payment will be after you file. Also know that if you miss one payment, your Ch.13 will be dismissed and you will need to file Ch.7 – and pay more fees to an attorney. When your Ch.7 is finally discharged, you won’t owe a cent, but the bank will still want you to sell the house. If you don’t, your credit report will still show a foreclosure, and be ruined for years. (This is not legal advice.) 2) Don’t spend every last penny by agreeing to a forbearance plan (payment-plan) Increasing your monthly payments isn’t going to solve your problem. A lender will increase your monthly payment and call it a forbearance plan, all the while knowing that more than 85% of borrower’s will not make the second payment. The lender just wants every last penny before they begin foreclosure proceedings. Make sure you know what your budget is and whether you can afford it before agreeing to forbearance. Also, make sure to have the lender fax you in writing what your payments will be. 3) Don’t sign a listing agreement with a real estate agent, unless that agent has experience and understands the foreclosure process. Houses that are over-leveraged have a tough time being sold, especially in a flat housing market. This puts real estate agents in a bind because the market will not support the asking price, which also covers their commission. It puts you in a bind because listing agreements usually prevent the homeowner from finding other alternatives – like finding their own buyer – even if the real estate agent is not performing. 4) Don’t sign a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure with your lender. The lender will ask you to do this and lead you to believe that it’s in your best interests. It’s not. Your public record will clearly read DEED IN LIEU, which translates to a voluntary foreclosure. Banks promote this method because it saves them money, but it does nothing to preserve your credit for the future. Each problem property has its own unique advantages and disadvantages when it comes to discovering a solution. Some will only stall the foreclosure, forcing you to pay thousands of dollars for a house that you will ultimately lose. Other solutions may allow you to stay in the house, but cost you more money each month than you actually make in three. Here’s a better solution – a way out: It’s one that the banks pray more people would discover: it can stop the foreclosure, save the banks money, and allow you a fresh start in a new home. You’ll have to leave your problem property, but you’ll be able to move into a better situation. It’s not perfect. If what you are looking for is a quick expensive band-aid to fix things temporarily, then you need to call another company. But if you would like to avoid the foreclosure from damaging your credit score for the next seven to ten years; if you would like to escape having to make payments that you can’t afford; if you want to avoid the humiliation of the public record and create a positive experience, then you are invited to call me.
