Don't bury your head in the sand. Take action and be proactive in the process!

Here are 5 Tips for Avoiding Foreclosure 

  1. Do NOT ignore the problem.
  2. Contact your mortgage service provider as soon as you may be late on a payment.
  3. Contact someone who can counsel you, such as an attorney, real estate agent, financial adviser or even a HUD-approved housing counselor. 800-569-4287 or visit www.hud.gov
  4. Open and respond to mail and phone calls from your lender.
  5. Avoid scams and for-profit foreclosure prevention companies.

If you are unable to modify your mortgage and keep up on your payments, don't wait too late to sell your property and take advantage of the short sale opportunity to avoid foreclosure.

FORECLOSURE IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN HAVE ON YOUR CREDIT and you will be haunted with it most likely, for the rest of your life!
