If you are currently behind on your mortgage payments or facing any type of financial hardship in keeping up to date with your home payments, then you are a suitable candidate of a loan modification program. However, any homeowner who is currently stuck with any adjustable rate mortgage that has already adjusted, or due to adjust is a premier candidate of a loan modification program. Millions of Americans were lured into signing up for interest only loans in which they were offered low payments initially, the double impact of rising interest rates and the inclusion of principal into the payment have caused borrowers to see their payments triple or even quadruple!
The forbearance offered by your lender for a month or two is just a band-aid for your situation not a bona fide solution to the problem that will get worst and the only option to stop the skyrocketing house payment and keep your credit intact at the same time is with the help of a Loan Workout.
Remember that waiting too long to get the process started may actually disqualify you from the program! Do not wait until your ARM or Interest-Only Loan resets again but instead act as soon as you realize that your financial situation is putting you at risk for foreclosure. |
