Are you falling behind in monthly payments on your home? Then your lenders may demand you foreclose. Here are some tips that can help
First and foremost, contact your lender as soon as possible. Do not put off contacting the lender until it is too late. No lender likes to foreclose because contrary to your belief, it cost as much as 25% to foreclose and hence, a foreclosure is usually a last option by the lender. By avoiding the lender, it suggests you have a desire not to meet up your monthly obligations which will lead to your being blacklisted by the lender.
In a situation where your lender is from out of town, it is advised you make a long distance call which is insignificant in these days. And you can even go the skype route to save further on costs. Alternatively, just send an email. Most, if not all lenders have a website nowadays.
Secondly, be open with you lender. Do not lie. Be 100% truthful. If you have been laid off, state so. If it is an expensive divorce settlement, state so. This will provide your lender with data to work with.
Third, you can have a refinancing done in the event there is some existing equity on your home. Borrowing against this equity can be used to offset the monthly mortgage payments until your financial situation improves.
Fourth, you may consider selling your home before your monthly commitments become a problem. This is a very smart move but will only prove timely if the housing market is strong. But where the market is weak, it may take a while to offload the house except you are prepared to make substantial reductions in its real market value in order to achieve a quick sale. The price reduction need not mean that there is no equity still existing in the house! So you can make a little profit as well.
What is crucial about selling in this case is that it forestalls a situation where you have a negative rating with your lender.
Declaring for bankruptcy is another option. This however should be avoided as much as possible as it will damage your credit record and it takes several years for it to be repaired. The only good thing is that foreclosure proceedings are suspended until your bankruptcy has been concluded
