Loan Modification Successes and Failures

Recently, it has been published that many homeowners who have done a loan modification end right back up in default and facing foreclosure within 6 months. That is an interesting statement, and it is very true and there are a few reasons behind this.

1) Often times, a loan might me modified to a payment that is near the original payment terms. Obviously, this is not a help and is not an acceptable result.
2) Do it yourself modifications rarely result in favorable terms. Also be cautious of Realtors or Loan Officers turned loan modification specialists.
3) A modification for a homeowner who is upside down on their mortgage and does not get a principle reduction modification leaves a homeowner with negative equity, which is a temptress for default.

If you attempt a loan modification, it is best to use a firm backed by attorneys so that a forensic review can be done on your prior loan documents as well as having the threat of litigation on your side. Be sure and check for a minimum success standard as well as a money back guarantee. A loan modification can be the financial savior you need, and cheaper than a refinance.
