The Network has a documented record of success in matching owners with professionals that utilize all options and strategies. Our mission to do all that can be done to help you accomplish your desired outcome. Stop a sale, defend a foreclosure, find a way to work it out with the bank, short sell or bankruptcy as a last resort. Our team looks at each file as a long term process, and advocates credit repair and rebuilding from day one. You CAN apply for a mortgage with our mortgage partners one day out of foreclosure or short sale. So preemptive work is always in the works if that is the direction you want to go in.



 


If you've lost work because of the coronavirus outbreak and fall behind on loan payments, loan modification could help you avoid default.



 

Loan modifications are most common for secured loans, such as mortgages, but you may also be able to modify other types of loans. That could include personal loans or student loans.
 

A loan modification can relieve some of the financial pressure you feel by lowering your monthly payments and stopping collection activity.
 

But loan modifications are not foolproof. They could increase the cost of your loan and add derogatory remarks to your credit report.
 

That doesn't mean you should avoid a loan modification. But before you jump at the chance, consider all the angles.

 

A loan modification is different from a refinance. When you take a loan modification, you change the terms of your loan directly through your lender. Most lenders agree to modifications only if you’re at immediate risk of foreclosure. A loan modification can also help you change the terms of your loan if your home loan is underwater. Contact your lender if you think you qualify for a modification.
 

On the other hand, a refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan. When you refinance, you can change your loan’s term, your interest rate and even your loan type. You can also take cash out of your equity with a cash-out refinance. To get a refinance, you’ll go through an application process that’s similar to the process you went through to buy your home.
