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.

If you were a victim of predatory lending, then you may qualify to have your loan restructured through a loan modification San Diego homeowners loan program.

The best way to determine if you were a victim is by having a Mortgage Audit done on your home loan. Your mortgage lender or broker may have failed to follow the rules under the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other federal and state lending regulations  and statutes.  If you were a victim of these home loan mortgage procedures you may be entitled to the return of a portion, or all loan fees and interest and a restructure of your loan under a loan modification San Diego modification program.

If you have  received a “Notice of Default,” or your home is in foreclosure, or you are in a position where your loan is becoming un affordable due to rate and payment increases.  Having a mortgage loan audit by a qualified professional, preferably an attorney who specializes in the mortgage audit process may save your home from foreclosure and may also provide you with a restructered  loan modification San Diego program to lower your payments, loan balance, or loan terms.

Most homeowners are unaware of the Laws that are in place to protect borrowers from violations in the law or Fraud.  And without a professional eye are unaware of these violations in their mortgage loan contracts.

These May Have Happened To You!

Were you charged high closing costs (Points and Fees?)
Did you have to provide proof of Income or did you just “state your income?” or did your loan agent or broker put a number in your application to qualify you?
Were all of your loan documents completely filled out prior to signing, or did you sign any blank documents?
Did your loan have any prepayment penalties?
Did you receive copies of all loan documents upon signing or loan closing?
Did the terms of your loan change at the last minute prior to signing
Were all loan fees or charges disclosed and properly explained to you in a clear, conspicuous and accurate way upon closing?

These are just a few areas that a mortgage loan audit would uncover violations in the law.  More information to follow.

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.

California Mortgage Mess

The current mortgage mess will lead to more bank failures, more foreclosures and a need for loan modification San Diego homeowners programs to curtail the problems homeowners are facing in this real estate market.

Interesting facts- Mortgage finance giant Freddie Mac(Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation)  which was founded in 1970.  Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association), the 2 government-sponsored enterprises owned or guaranteed $5.3 trillion of mortgages (out of $10.5 trillion nationwide) as of 12/31/08. Freddie Mac lost more money during the 2 years of 2007-08 (a $53 billion loss) than it made during the 36 years from
1971-2006
($42 billion of profits) (source: USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Federal Reserve).
$2 trillion of mortgages were packaged together into bonds and sold to investors, i.e.,
they were securitized (source: Inside Mortgage Finance, Wall Street

And now the tax payers are paying the price.  Homeowners who were sold these toxic loans are paying the price with higher payments, facing default and foreclosure.  Those who have taken action to prevent them selves from going into foreclosure have done so by negotiating a loan modification San Diego program on their mortgage loan. 

If your lender is unwilling to re-negotiate your mortgage loan than you may have to hire a professional to negotiate for you.  If, this is not an option you could consider a “Short Sale” on your home.  A Short Sale will still be negative on your credit but it is not as bad as a foreclosure.  And as a last result you could turn over the keys to the lender and do what is  called a “Deed In Lieu” of foreclosure.  If you go this option you should hire an attorney to protect your legal rights.  If you go the route of a loan modification be prepared before you attemp a loan modification so you can negotiate  a loan modification San Diego program that will make the most sense today and down the road.

What ever you decide to do take action and don’t wait for the problem to go a way, because it will not.
