Hello! We are keyed up about the subject that we are going to speak about today. Hopefully we can help some potential customers out in the new year. Is your loan modification uneffective? 70% of the potential customers that deal with us have attempted a loan modification or spoken about doing a loan mod with their bank. A lot of of those that spoke to the bank understood how hard it is or they were simply denied.
We’ve seen some loan modifications where the payment in fact went up. The other thing banks sometimes do is extend your loan. If you have a 30-year fixed mortgage, the bank might extend your loan to a 40-year fixed mortgage. Some homeowners will be paying their loan until they are 80 or 90 years old.
Especially with the Minnesota short sale being such a reliable alternative, we are stunned by people choosing the loan mod option. The bank also surprises us in this because if the lender would be smarter about loan mods, it would be a better alternative. If they made it easier and made the loan modification process work, you would not need us to assist with your Minnesota short sale. Nevertheless, that just isn’t the case. The banks have to get support from the investor on your loan mod. With the loan mod, there are clear rules, unlike the short sale. Right now, the loan mod procedure simply isn’t occuring for Minnesota homeowners or anyone in the country. Many times the homeowners that really do get a loan mod are still underwater or still have trouble making the payments.
If you are considering carrying out a loan modification on your Minnesota home, please give us a call or talk with us on our website. We can assist you!
