Question & Answers

Loan Modification: Are these programs actually working? Was anybody able to successfully renegotiate their mortgage payment and/or reduce loan amount? Everybody talks about loan modification, but are there any “success stories?”

Yes I have helped several clients with their loans. Do you have a project or loan you need help with?

Sorry I'm not sure I'm not in the mortgage industry. I'm a Bookkeeper and QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

I would consider contacting Todd at Value Mortgage, Inc. todd@valuemortgageinc.com.

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any, but I'm not a loan or mortgage officer, so the value of my input may be quite limited.

Yes. But you may need to go delinquent on your mortgage before the bank will consider a modification. You will need to show a financial hardship and some ability to pay your revised mortgage payment. Be prepared for a long hassle. But the effort can help save your home and a lot of your money.

yes, my friend got his payment chopped in half!

i heard that you have to be behind on your payments by at least two month befor the lender will even begin to negotiate. it would be ashame if you have to sacrifice credit rating, but if there is a need then it's probably worth it.

Yes...sometimes it does work...and we have done this successfully at no charge for homeowners. It does not work for people under or not gainfully employed but can work for many people.

The programs are working but very slowly. I know of a few people that have had their mortgages reduced to 2%

The process is long and tedious
