    Thumbs up Loan Recourse

    7 mistakes home owners make when deciding to do a loan modification or short sale their home!

    Mistake 1:
    Contacting your lender
    and providing information before you
    understand the process and what your
    bank needs to see in order to approve
    your loan Modification. You can learn
    about the loan modification process
    from beginning to end and know what
    to expect.

    Mistake 2:
    Paying a fee up front to
    an attorney or loan modification
    company without knowing what to
    expect through-out the process, and
    verifying that the company
    representing you is operating in
    compliance with the law and has the
    experience necessary to be successful.
    Know what questions to ask and how to
    protect yourself from scams.

    Mistake 3:
    Wasting valuable time by
    trying to negotiate with your bank
    when they call you to demand payment.
    You will never get anywhere speaking
    with the collections department, hang
    up and call the correct department-loss
    mitigation.

    Mistake 4:
    Not convincing your bank
    that you have suffered an acceptable
    financial hardship that has caused you
    to fall behind. There are 3 critical
    elements that your bank is looking for
    in your Hardship Letter-do you know
    what they are?

    Mistake 5:
    Missing information,
    incomplete loan modification forms or
    incorrect information can be the kiss of
    death for your application. All the
    information you provide will be
    verified-this is a full disclosure
    process-make sure you itemize all of
    your income and assets and complete
    the loan modification forms properly.

    Mistake 6:
    Submitting your loan
    modification proposal without making
    sure it meets your banks guidelines for
    approval. Why take a shot in the dark
    when you can learn what your lender
    needs to see to approve your proposal
    so you can prepare your application
    properly

    Mistake 7:
    Giving your bank an
    incomplete loan modification package
    that does not include everything they
    need to see the first time. Missing
    items or incomplete paperwork will
    cause your proposal to be delayed or
    worse-denied! Make sure you have
    submitted a complete and accurate loan
    modification application.
