Needless to say, he has seen and heard a lot over the past several years and has a profound sense of how the process works in practice. Robert knows first hand what you can realistically expect from your mortgage servicer. The way most people think the process works is a far cry from how it really works in practice. If you act on his suggestions, your frustration level will be reduced significantly and chances of getting a favorable decision increased.

Knowing exactly how the process works and understanding the factors that play a role in the final decision to modify a home mortgage places you in an very advantageous position. Why? It puts you in the driver’s seat. Here are the questions that he addresses in Stop Foreclosure: Should I Apply for a Modification Before I am No Longer Able to Make My Mortgage Payment?

How Can I Determine Who Services My Home Mortgage and Who Owns My Mortgage Note? My Mortgage Servicer Tells Me that the Owner of My Note is Different from What I see on my Original Mortgage Note. Can This Be True? Can I Determine who Owns My Mortgage Note By Searching Deeds of Trust Filed with My County Courthouse? What is MERS? I Do Not Suspect that My Mortgage Servicing Company Has the Original Loan Documents. Why Can’t I just Demand that They Produce the Original Documents? When They Can’t Produce the Original Documents (as I Suspect) Doesn’t My Loan Also Vanish and I Get My Home for Free? Should I Hire Someone Else to Handle My Application for a Mortgage Loan Application? How Can I Avoid Being Scammed? Why Did We Get a Foreclosure Notice when Our Mortgage Servicer was Still Evaluating Our Application for a Modification? Why Do I have So Much Difficulty Dealing with My Mortgage Servicer? What Happens When I Contact My Mortgage Servicer About Applying for a Home Mortgage Modification? What Can I Expect when Calling My Mortgage Servicer?

Should I Ask My Mortgage Servicer to Consider a Two Year (or Short Term) Modification? I Know Now I Will Only Need to Pay the Reduced Amount for a Couple of Years. How Will I Hear About the Outcome of My Application? Will My Mortgage Servicer Give me a Reason for a Denial? How Can I Dispute Penalties or Late Fees Charged by My Mortgage Servicer? My Mortgage Servicer Says that Extending the Term of My Loan from 30 to 40 Years is Not an Option. Are They Bluffing? What Are My Options If My Income Does Not Justify a Modified Loan? I am Currently Unemployed. Is There any Hope for Me? What Programs Exist for People Who Want to Remain in Their Homes? How Do I Find Out If Freddie Mac Owns My Loan?

Book Description
If You Want To Learn How to Get Out of Foreclosure with a Loan Modification, Then Get This Potentially Life Saving Book! A home loan remodification is a method you may qualify for that allows you to get current again. If you are behind several payments, you may be in fear of foreclosure. Perhaps that process has already been started and you are afraid you will lose your home. A loan remodification can allow you to re-age your loan and get a payment you can afford with your current financial circumstances. Instead of trying to come up with a lump sum of money to save your home, you only have to focus on being able to meet that monthly mortgage payment. The process to qualify for a home loan remodification takes time and you have to follow the steps or you can be denied for failure to comply. Once your application is in motion, the foreclosure process will be put on hold. This gives you and the mortgage company time to go through all of the paperwork and see what can be done. Most lenders want to extend a remodification loan to you rather than foreclosure on the property. With that in mind, it is to your advantage to see if you qualify. About the Expert I didn’t know about loan remodification until my home was already in foreclosure. I was trying to explore my options and came across the details. I was frustrated that my mortgage company hadn’t taken the time to share that with me as a possibility. They had no trouble calling me at least twice per week to ask for the full amount I was due. They refused to take payments and didn’t seem to care about the reason why I was getting behind. Armed with information, I called them and asked for a loan remodification application. I am glad I did as it got me back on track with my home loan. I am hopeful this process can do the same for you. If you are facing foreclosure, you definitely want to look into home loan remodification as an opportunity. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
