Avoiding Scams

A staggering number of homeowners have been faced with the crisis of home mortgage foreclosure, and a variety of scams have been developed to exploit their weakness and distress. Don't fall victim to fraud by following up on offers for foreclosure help that are really only bait for scams. An attorney can help you find real, sound solutions.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

One of the most simple and direct ways to avoid the complexity and credit damage of a foreclosure is known as a deed in lieu, where you turn over the deed for your house to the lender. This action satisfies the balance on the home loan and frees you from debt.

Short Sales

If you are one of the many home owners who owe more on the mortgage than the house is worth on the real estate market, you may feel overwhelmed by your debt. In order to avoid a foreclosure, many banks will agree to a short sale, allowing you to sell the home at a price that will attract a buyer without having to pay back the difference on the loan.

What is predatory lending?

You may feel embarrassed over getting yourself into a position where you could lose your home to foreclosure, but it is important to know that you might not be responsible for the situation. Many cases of foreclosure are a result to of predatory lending practices, where the bank or mortgage broker lured a prospective borrower into a loan with unfair terms or without full disclosure.

Subprime Loans

In order to make home mortgages broadly available on the market, many lenders have been offering subprime loans to individuals and families who wouldn't normally qualify for a home loan. The terms of a subprime loan are often far less favorable to the borrower, and the higher interest rates can make it difficult to keep up with the payments, which has contributed to the increase in foreclosures.

How Foreclosure Affects Credit

Foreclosure can have a major effect on your credit score, making it difficult to obtain loans in the future. It is important to avoid or minimize this impact, either through preventing the foreclosure or finding an alternative with less serious consequences.

Strategic Default

Sometimes it is best to stop paying your mortgage. Strategic default is simpler than a short sale, foreclosure defense lawsuit or deed in lieu of foreclosure. You can learn more about strategic default and how it could be the best option for you.
