Short sales, Foreclosure Alternatives for Riverside County Residents !

I receive calls and emails every day from homeowners facing foreclosure, they are afraid because they didn’t qualify for a loan modification and they want to know what their options are.  They are frustrated and confused by all the conflicting information about foreclosure, including  information  gathered from,  neighbors  family members, friends  telling  you what your options are, even when they are on the same position, they don’t know what your options are!  Every family situation is unique.

 
The homeowner usually has to suffer through months of agony, as they fax and re-fax the same documents to the lender, are given conflicting information, as  a  result  desperate homeowners have sent payments to banks and struggle to come up entering a trial forbearance programs.
  

What often happens is that the homeowner is strung along for months, before finally being rejected at the last minute.  A loan modification is not a guaranteed method to stop the foreclosure, and you need to be prepared for what to do, if you are turned down.  Some homeowners lost all their savings, borrow money from family, friends to try to save their home just to find out at the last minute that they don’t qualify!

For most borrowers, hoping for a loan modification only delays the inevitable.  If  you didn’t qualify for a loan modification normally Short sale can be your best option.  We are still going through to all options available to make sure that you understand which option can apply to you special circumstances.  If you ever find yourself in a similar position, be sure to consider these alternatives: 

Let’s start with the (HAFA the program that suppose to help millions of  Distress homeowners!  The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program that  provides financial incentives for lenders and borrowers to avoid foreclosure through short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosures.  The idea is that if borrowers are eligible for the modification program but are unable to work out a plan to stay in their home, they—and their lenders—have a well-mapped route for executing a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is important that you understand that this program is not for everyone is only for certain homeowners with certain loans.    

 

"Which Loans are  Eligible?"    
The new HAFA program applies to the large volume of so-called "risky" loans that were issued outside of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines during the housing boom, such as zero-down loans, option ARMs, and Alt-A mortgages that didn’t require extensive income documentation.   
You can receive up to $3,000 from your lender for moving expenses ( if  you  qualify )  at the time of closing of a HAFA short sale or a HAFA deed in lieu of foreclosure. Relocation funds are part of the incentives of HAFA, but not necessarily for other short sale or deed in lieu programs of the lenders.

An agreement between you and your lender to sell your home for less than you owe. Although there’s no guarantee that your lender will let you avoid foreclosure with a short sale, new government regulations are aimed at encouraging lenders to do so.   

 

A loan modification on an Riverside County home
It's important that you understand that you have to qualify!  Loan modification may result in a change in the interest rate, the monthly payment amount, the length of time to make repayment (30 years vs. 40 years) if  you qualify!  Monthly payment must be 31% or less of gross monthly income fully document income. Income and employment verification are required.
               
REINSTATEMENT
A reinstatement requires a one-time payment of all delinquent funds in full.
The homeowner has to pay all missed payments, late fees & legal fees that are due up to the date that the loan is reinstated. to make payments as they had before.    
   
FORBEARANCE or REPAYMENT PLAN
A forbearance or repayment plan involves the homeowner negotiating with the mortgage company to allow them to repay back payments over a period of time. Some mortgage companies will require a homeowner to 'qualify' for forbearance. If a homeowner misses just one payment, they can end up in the same stage of the foreclosure process they were in previously.
