If you are at risk of foreclosure due to losing employment or your adjustable rate mortgage increasing, there are some options aside from losing your home to foreclosure.
Contact Your Bank, Work Out a Loan Modification
You can and work out a loan modification. The bank owns your home, and the mortgage, and it is in their best interest to get you to continue to pay down your mortgage and stay in your home. When the bank forecloses on your home, it will lose money in the process, so they should be willing to work with you on a loan modification.
Refinance Your Mortgage With a Mortgage Broker
You can call mortgage brokers who will actively shop for a new mortgage for your home, to help you to find more acceptable payment terms that allow you to stay in your home and avoid mortgage foreclosure.
You can also find out what your requirements are by speaking to a loan officer at your “existing” bank where you have your mortgage house.
