I am going to share some tips that the banks do not want anybody to know on how to avoid foreclosure. What is going on right now in this country is many banks made outrageous loans to just about anybody who could fog up a mirror. Now their strategy has come back to haunt them with the current foreclosure crises.
1. If you have not missed a payment yet but think you are going to, the first step is to contact the bank and try to make arrangements to pay, or get a forbearance that allows you to delay payments for a short amount of time.
2. Ask for a repayment plan where you add a portion of the missed payments to the next few payments. This will help in the event of a short term unexpected expense or sudden repair that may take you by surprise.
3. If you are two or three payments late, the lender may still make arrangements to repay, but you may have to put up to half of the outstanding balance to resume the loan. Never ignore the lender letters and notices. Always keep in contact with the lender to keep them aware of the situation. Ignoring the problem only makes the situation worse and increases the costs.
4. You may get a loan modification through the lender bailout programs from the government. If you qualify the lender will adjust the terms of the mortgage to make the loan more affordable. They can lower the interest rate, re-amortize the past due amounts into a new loan, or lengthen the time period of the loan to reduce the payments.
