Warning Signs of Foreclosure:
1: Do you have a Piggy Back Loan (exotic loan) hedging on the fact property values will increase?” Based on increasing property values exotic loans such as interest-only loans and adjustable-rate mortgages (Arms) provide borrowers with a lower monthly payment for a short period of time can create big problems,” says Dean Baker, co-director at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
2: Do you owe more than your house is worth? The risk of foreclosures rises when borrowers take out loans in excess of 80% of a home's purchase price. Statistics suggest that many homebuyers are stretching their budgets well beyond their means. The risk is that recent buyers have such minuscule equity in their homes that if prices fall, they could owe more on their mortgage than their homes are worth. Could your home be worth less than what you owe?
3: Are you behind on your mortgage payments? Falling behind on mortgages for any reason: such as a sudden decreases in income due to the loss of spouse or job, poor financial management which contributes to nonpayment of utility bills, service shutoffs and liens against the property; failure to perform necessary repairs and maintenance which make the property uninhabitable; second mortgage scams which make impossible demands on the homeowner's limited resources.
All of these contributing factors can be addressed if homeowners contact skilled advocates in time for them to defend the homeowner before foreclosure starts. Please contact Law and Associates at 800-329-9973- or visit www.lawandassociates.org.
