Lenders Don’t Want Your House

With the huge number of homeowners facing foreclosure, it is true that your lender does not want your home. In fact, mortgage lenders are also victims in this crisis (believe it or not) as well. Your problem has become their problem!

With 8 homes in every 1000 currently in foreclosure (and many, many more on their way), banks are in no hurry to take your home. They will run themselves out of business if they were to take back the homes of all their high risk mortgages. Most lenders are willing and eager to find a way to keep you in your home. The key is to act sooner rather than later so you have as many options available to you as possible. Don’t let fear keep you from contacting your lender to see if there is a workout plan available to you.

Jo - Sometimes it seems the the angst homeowners feel is driven by media hype.  Save the clippings for 90 days about anything real estate ... then go back and review them.  The mass of contradictions would be funny, if so many people were not making serious decisions as a result of reading them.  The image of the "perils of Pauline" lender is one of them ...

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that they are the misunderstood champions of homeowners ... but there are two sides to every story.  Thanks for sharing ...

It is a great time to begin negotiations with banks because they really don't want your home back.

Jo,

Extremely important message for homeowners in distress. It's my experience too that banks are very willing to negotiate right now.
