Other banks will also make these principal reductions, but are not required to offer as much relief, Donovan said.

default advocate: Who owns your Elk Grove loan and Why it is important - 10/01/14 01:54 AM

For the most part your bank is more than likely acting as the servicer meaning they made or bought the loan or note and sold the debt to an investor but is getting paid to service the loan you know – collect the … (0 comments)

Here is another great story about saving another home from foreclosure. This was an investment property that had gone wrong. The property had always been rented at a loss but the investors’ hopes were prices would appreciate and they would eventually make money on the sale.

The sellers contacted us, we placed the property on the market and had offers within a couple of weeks. Now those of you who have dealt with Wells and ASC before know they can be … (0 comments)
