Alternatives to Losing your Home to Foreclosure...
If you have mortgaged your home and are unable to make the payments
because of the housing market crash, the loss of your job or
insufficient funds, then you must be worried about foreclosure. You may
be receiving grave phone calls or visits to your home by people from the
mortgage company who offer information and advice about what you should
do. This is bad and often detrimental to your credit score. You could
very well lose your property without making a profit. Trying to ignore
the problem or letting others make decisions for you is not a wise move.
It is best to study all the options available and make a decision yourself.
There are quite a few options available. Bankruptcy must be your last option, as it drastically harms credit score ratings, and a bad credit score will adversely affect your chances of getting loans in the future and possibly jobs. There is however a temporary stay on the foreclosure process.
You can read related reviews and visit various online sites to find reliable investors in your area and find the best one to sell your home. It is better than loosing it to a bank due to nonpayment. If the value of the property is more than the mortgage on it, you can later rent it or lease it. You can also sell your home in the open market. If the mortgage amount is less than the price of the property you can get a good price and repay your mortgage. If you do some renovation and repair anything that is broken, you should be able to sell it quickly.
