Mortgage Loan Modification – How to Avoid Foreclosing On Your Home

There is a terrible problem in the housing sector, which affects 30,000000 home-owners in the USA. Increasing numbers of home owners are losing their jobs, or having their salaries reduced. More and more home owners are falling in arrears with their car, mortgage or credit cards payments. These home-owners are in real danger of defaulting on their mortgage loan and seeing their house go into foreclosure. But there is an answer, and many home owners aren’t even aware of this solution: loan modification – sometimes called loan mod.

Loan modification doesn’t entail re-financing, so there’s no credit check. It is not debt consolidation. It is renegotiating the current loan to achieve a lessening in interest rate and, under special circumstances, a reduction in loan principal. And there is no increasing the term of the loan. A new, reduced, monthly payment is achieved which is affordable to the home-owner. Loan modification is a true win-win situation for all parties. To the homeowner it can mean the difference between keeping or losing their home. For the banks, it can mean no less than the difference between staying afloat or going under.

There is no reason why home-owners cannot arrange their own mortgage loan modification by contacting their bank’s loss mitigation dept. But it seriously is not recommended – the banks often only offer a small lowering in interst rate, or no reduction at all. It’s much better to employ the services of an experienced loan modification firm, which uses its own team of dedicated loan modification attorneys, who do nothing but talk with banks all day long and have the knowledge and experience to achieve a significant reduction. Going it alone is akin to representing one self at a court of law – seriously unadvisable. An experienced mortgage loan modification company can attain 30% to 50% reductions in interest without extending the length of time of the mortgage loan. It is well worth whatever fee they may charge to achieve this.
