Can I Avoid Forecloser?
Posted by: | CommentsI bought a home four years ago through owner financing, also called seller financing. I have fallen behind five or six payments but now owe only two payments of $510. I can make the last two payments this month; however, the seller has notified me by mail that he is “accelerating” the note, and the case is to go to court on June 2. My question is, can I simply make the last two payments, which will make me current, and avoid foreclosure. I’d hate to lose the house, even though we moved into another home last August. I’d hate to lose all the equity in the first home. I’d also hate to have the foreclosure appear on my credit report. Is there anyway out of this mess? I live in south texas and texas laws apply but I don’t know where to look online to see if I have any rights.
Are There Any Government Sponsored Programs To Avoid Property Foreclosures?
Posted by: | CommentsYes, but only for the banks. They offer the banks incentives to modify your mortgage to a point. However, if you simply bought more house than you can reasonably afford, these programs are not meant to benefit you. Someone making $50,000 will not be entitled to stay in their $500,000 house that they financed with a “liar loan”. Ask your specific lender for details
How Do I Avoid Losing My Home To Foreclosure?
Posted by: | CommentsRenegotiate a lower payment, or lower interest rate that would lower the payment.
Try to defer a couple payments (some lenders allow this)
Find a private lender (someone that has enough money to buy out the mortgage and then you just pay them back under whatever terms they set up with you)
Get a part time job to help make payments
Get someone to rent your basement or a room or suite (this would still be your principal residence, you’ve just got a ‘roommate’ now as well).
Create a budget and really analyze where you money is going and ways to free up cashflow.
Sure. I assume that the foreclosure sale hasn’t taken place yet. The first way to avoid a foreclosure is to talk to the bank. Most banks don’t want to foreclose, and will negotiate a forbearance or a new payment schedule if it is halfway reasonable and if they think you are willing and able to perform. Call the bank and offer to negotiate. Second, some states (e.g., California) have rules that allow you to cancel the foreclosure sale and reinstate the loan if you cure the default and pay the lender’s expenses at some time prior to the scheduled foreclosure sale. You did not say where you live, so I don’t know whether you live in a jurisdiction that has reinstatement rules. Call a lawyer on this one. Third, all states will cancel the foreclosure sale if you pay off the loan before the sale. This option is often unavailable, since you would not have defaulted if you had that kind of credit. I strongly recommend option #1.
