Financial Distress Requires Quick Sale

Aug. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- We Buy Houses | Arlington VA: If you have lost your job, or your spouse has lost a job you may be having a difficult time making ends meet. Perhaps you have had a disastrous illness or accident that has befallen one of your family members. Whatever the reason you have for being in financial difficulty, your mortgage is usually the largest monthly bill that must be paid on time. If you don’t get it paid on the agreed day of each month, your account will become delinquent. The grace period passes, and as the weeks go by your credit cards start to fill up to their upper limits, their minimum payments are even hard to make at this point and things begin to spiral out of control.

The lender may give you a call on the phone to see what’s going on and if you will be making a mortgage payment soon. After that point, you might receive a letter saying you are behind on your payments and that a foreclosure could be imminent if you don’t try to catch up the payments you have missed. This of course only makes the stress level worse.

When you start to run into trouble and know it’s not just temporary you may be wise to get your house sold as quickly as possible. The sale of the house will relieve you of the mortgage payment liability and you may be able to save what’s left of your credit. Your credit will be very important from this point forward because you’ll need it to help you start over.

Even potential employers and landlords check credit these days and it only takes a small fee and access to the internet. Your credit history is relatively exposed to anyone who has reason to check it. It is in your best interest to keep it as solid as possible. A default on your mortgage loan will do much harm.

One easy solution to your problem might be to sell your house to a real estate investor. Find a reputable one in your area that knows the legal filing requirements of your county and ask whether they handle difficult real estate situations. You may be able to sell your house for a discounted amount and get the mortgage paid off. If you owe a great deal on the mortgage you might need to make a short sale, which an investor should be able to help with, too.
