Loan Modification - How To Do It Yourself



Today's stressed-out bill-payers are looking for loan modification success through mortgage brokers or consultants. Why not learn how to do it yourself?

Should I Pay My Mortgage Or My Student Loans?


Since the advent of student eduction loans, much less this tight job market, graduates face the challenge of student loan repayment, often compounded with bill collectors calling about other credit issues ranging from car loan payments to credit card bills or even a late mortgage payment.

Are you in denial? Do you feel you should just work harder to pay your bills? Most struggling homeowners feel guilty and embarrassed to ask their lender to modify a loan.

Snap out of it! The job and housing crisis affects nearly everyone. Lenders are just as much to blame. Bottom line - why be a martyr when you can do something about it?

New Incentives Create More Loan Modification Success

The Making Home Affordable (MHA) plan went into effect on March 4, 2009 to relax refinancing requirements. The MHA plan gives lenders an incentive (up to $1000) to help keep people in their homes longer by avoiding foreclosure.

The U.S. Treasury established steps called the "Standard Waterfall," as guidelines for lenders to perform a cost analysis, and decide if the incentive payments will give them a better outcome than foreclosure. Lenders must verify income and get the mortage payment down to 31% of the gross monthly income (the 31% debt-to-income ratio, or DTI).

Loan Modification - How To Do It Yourself

Many loan modification firms were started by subprime mortgage brokers who were out of work after the 2008 real estate collapse. Charging as much as $4,500, they may not provide the service you deserve; e.g. taking the bank's first offer so they can move on to new clients.

Why hire a huckster "loan mod consultant" (that may even be operating without a license) when you can do a better job yourself at a fraction of the cost?

After all, if you had an extra $3000 lying around, you'd have used it to pay your mortgage or college debt!

You don't need a lawyer. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars.

  • You DO need to get your story straight

  • You DO need to submit a well-organized application

  • You DO need to understand the process

  • You DO need the proper tools and support!

  • How to modify credit card debt report
