in the next few pages, we are going to take a look at the various options and the pros and cons of each. You will get the information you need to make a decision well educated about your situation.

What are the alternatives?

patience
patience is a payment plan, which the debtor enters with the lender when they are unable to make payments in a timely manner, often due to illness or other temporary condition. In the dream, the lender allows you to delay payments for a short period. After you agree to pay for a few months missing bring the current account by making larger payments. The problem is, more than 85% of the debtors default after the first installment. They can not continue to make payments inflation after the end of the period of endurance, and they are right back where I started.

Loan Modification
loan modification is a permanent change in one or more of the mortgagor's loan conditions. This may help you catch up by reducing the monthly payments to a more affordable level. You may qualify if you have recovered from a financial problem and can afford to pay the new amount. However, the loss mitigation departments are now understaffed, under the experienced, overworked. Many nightmare stories on this topic of herders need to pursue and harass the loss mitigation departments to get their papers by paying to escape foreclosure. After all the trouble, and most homeowners are still deprived of any help and ends up in foreclosure.

partial claim
your lender may be able to work with you to get a one-time payment (the loan must be paid at the end of the mortgage) of the FHA insurance fund to achieve the current mortgage on your own. You may qualify if your loan is 4-12 months delinquent and I was able to start providing full mortgage payments.

support in Liu (Voluntary Foreclosure)
as a last resort, you may be able to voluntarily "give back" your property to the lender. You may qualify if you are in default and do not qualify for any of the other options, your attempts at selling the house before foreclosure were unsuccessful, and did not have a mortgage FHA else in default. "Mortgage" are likely to be reported on your credit report.

Virgin loan
This is where you take someone else to pay off your loan, usually in exchange for your property. Loans made after 1988 and almost never assumable.

bankruptcy
many debtors will spend a lot of money for a lawyer to make a Chapter 13 bankruptcy - which is really the only payment plan - to inspect the house. In essence you pay a lawyer rather than the lender. Before work, I know how much this process will cost and what the new increase your monthly payment will be. We also know that if you miss a single payment, you have Chapter 13 will be rejected, you will need to Chapter 7. File this will cost more attorneys' fees, and assets, including your home will be filtered and your credit report will still Mortgage appear.

sell the property
If the home has contributed to the property you can and should consider selling the property. The homeowner will receive a check for the closing of the shares and above all what is owed and paid closing costs. Most homeowners in foreclosure, however, have little or no equity. Be careful list with a Realtor who can be linked to your property for several months.

Do nothing
when it comes to the threat of foreclosure, procrastination is a recipe for disaster. Do not do something does not change anything. What is not taken the necessary actions, you will end up in foreclosure and your credit will suffer over the next 5-7 years.

pre-foreclosure sale (short sale)
This program allows pre-sale mortgage lender in default to sell his / her home and use the net proceeds of the sale to satisfy the mortgage debt, although this revenue is less than the amount owed . It has two main advantages of the mortgage: (1) You may be eligible for a loan a new home after only two years instead of 5. (2) should be able to avoid a deficiency judgment. When selling a house at auction, and the chances of the lender ban lifted deficiency judgment increases dramatically. They will have years to come after, or sell it to someone else will.

As you can see, there are many options to consider - but you have to look! You can not stick your head in the sand like an ostrich and do nothing. Being in a state of denial is a bad situation to be in! As we said earlier, procrastination is a recipe for disaster.
