Trouble With A San Diego CA Mortgage

August 23rd, 2009

The San Diego, Ca Foreclosure Loan Modification Solution

The main cause of California foreclosures over the past few years was due to bad lending practices.  Banks and lenders used to allow San Diego home borrower to show  a years worth of pay stubs and around 30 % of the list value of the home as a down payment. When this was combined with huge commissions that were paid out to San Diego, Ca loan mortgage brokers for originating these loans and the Investors on wall street that could not get enough of the mortgage backed securities to sell on walstreet, the result was what we are having to deal with today, the foreclosure crissis.

Home prices have declined drastically.  Mortgage banks have failed due to over leveraging their mortgage backed securities. Adjustable rate loans have taken a toll on the borrowers that were misled or not infromed with what exactly they were signing up for, introductory low rates to qualify for the loan, interest only that ran out and were hit with a large increase that they were unable to make the payments, or were un able to refinance to a lower rate loan because their home was upside down in value.

This is where a San Diego Ca Mortgage home loan Refinance or loan modification program can help you save your home and protect your family.  When a loan modification is done correctly, or negotiated in youir best interest.  Then you will be able to lower your interest rate, extend the terms of your mortgage loan, and reduce your monthly payments to a more affordable home loan payment.

To receive a mortgage loan modification on your home loan you will need to first demonstrate that you have a hardship, loss of job, reduction of income, illness, etc.

Then you will have to prepare a home loan mortgage modification package that will be presented to your lenders loss mitigation department to start the modification process.  This is where most people mess up.  By not putting together a good modification package this will hurt your next step which is the negotiation stage.

During the negotiation stage, if you have not submitted a good modification package then you may be at the lenders mercy.  Your lender may work with you however, you may not obtain the best possible outcome for your situation.  The result may be that you only receive a temporary solution to your problem when a long term solution to a home loan mortgage modification would have been in your best interests.

You can do a loan modification on your own.  However, you may want to seek some assistance on preparing a mortgage modification package, or purchase a kit that will provide you with all the necessay forms, documents check list items so you can modify yor loan the right way.  The money spent could be the best investment you  make prior to requesting a loan modification.

Loan Modifications Gone Bad

June 26th, 2009

5 Reasons California Loan Modifications Are Going Bad Again

In 2009 more loan modifications are going bad. Why?  To many borrowers that were at the mercy of their lenders accepted mortgage modifications that were not in the borrowers best interest.  Most home owners when presented with a loan modification San Diego program did not know how to negotiate better terms and accepted the first offer that was presented to them.  The loss mitigation representative who is negotiating the modification is representing the bank and has the lenders interest that they represent and they are trying to achieve a home loan mortgage modification that is in the lenders best interest and not necessarily the borrowers best interest.  So it is important to way all options before you accept a loan modification proposal on your home loan.

There are other factors that are affecting loan modifications to go bad which have caused some borrowers to give up and throw in the towel.  5 of the reasons are as follows

 
5 factors behind the trend:
1. Overextended borrowers: With the ease of credit and negative-amortized, adjustable, pick-a-pay, interest only loans.  Many unknowing borrowers were led into the American Dream of home ownerships, with ease of qualifying, the fear that many first time homeowners would simply miss the boat of owning a home with the rise in real estate values and the speculative gold rush of of home appreciation.  Many borrowers not only fell into the real estate trap, but also overextended their consumer credit cards, personal loans and luxury items. Unfortunately many of these over extended consumers won’t be able to make their payments even in the most generous of loan modification San Diego programs.
2. Underwater effect: IN several parts of the country for example California, housing prices have declined over 50 % in value and borrowers are having a hard time trying to deal with making a mortgage payment on an asset that is not worth nearly what it was when they bought it.  And in most cases even if they were to have they mortgage modified it would not address the negative amount of equity in their homes and know one knows when values will increase again.
3. Housing Market decline: Has the home market reached a bottom yet?  Is the housing market going to continue a decline?  These are questions that troubled homeowners have to deal with in deciding if the loan modification San Diego program they received is worth paying into an investment that will continue to devalue.  Historically speaking real estate prices have increased in value over time.  Unfortunately we do not have a crystal ball that will tell us when home prices will return and home appreciation will become a benefit of home ownership.  One thing most homeowners need to remember is that they will need shelter, and it may be better to own a home in the long run than to rent, taking into account that your home is still one of the only tax write offs you have and that if you get a loan modification that will work for you short term and long term you should focus on paying down and eventually off your mortgage so you can own your home free and clear. Owning a home without out payments and with the benefit of future appreciation.
4. Original loan modification San Diego terms: Some of the modified loans weren’t modified appropriately to make them affordable for troubled borrowers.  The loans could have been adjusted to more in line with the borrowers debt to income ratios to make there loan payments more viable for long term success.

5. Unemployment: This is another major cause of defaults on loan modification programs. Many homeowners who were successful in obtaining a mortgage loan modification were unable to maintain their mortgage payments due to a loss of employment, decrease in income, or other unforeseen events, which made it impossible to keep up with payments or to do another loan modification on their home loan.
