It seems like everyone in Las Vegas wants a loan modification. And why not?
It'd be great to lower those high mortgage payments. However, most people have
a pie-in-the-sky notion what loan modification can do for them. Desperate for
hope, people start to believe that loan modification can solve all their problems
and save their homes.
Well, just like a weight-loss cure you see on late-night infomercials, loan
modification is not a miracle cure. People shell out lots of cash only to get
little or no results. And yet, like the unicorn or the Loch Ness monster, the
myth of the perfect loan modification persists in throughout Clark County.
Is loan modification the answer to your prayers? Let's take a closer look.
Currently, loan modification will only help lower your home mortgage payment.
Loan modification will not help with a loan on investment property, rental
property, a vacation home, vacant land, an apartment building or office property.
Loan modification is a short-term program to help with a temporary problem.
It’s not designed to provide a permanent solution.
Sure, everyone wants to reduce the principal balance owed on their mortgage
since their property values have fallen. But unfortunately, loan modification
programs do not offer this as one of the options. Before you decide to plunge
into a loan modification, look at your situation realistically. Mortgages are
all about money, and like the scale in the bathroom, numbers don't lie.
But that doesn't mean there's no hope. Begin by asking your mortgage company
what programs they offer to help you. Ask them to send you the forms or get
forms online from their website. Find out how much your mortgage payment could
be lowered with a loan modification. In many instances, the best loan modification
your mortgage company can offer will be to reduce your payments by a few hundred
dollars a month for a couple of years.
If you decide to try a loan modification, you don’t have to spend a lot
of money. Contact us to order our video report explaining how you can do this
yourself.
