The rising number of foreclosure homes is escalating. Homeowners are in trouble to the point where the United States House of Representatives is stepping in to help by providing 300 billion dollars in order for homeowners to refinance. However, is it enough?
In an attempt to decrease the number of foreclosure homes for sale, banks and lending institutions are beginning to roll out loss mitigation services to assist where loan repayment plans just won’t work. Research indicates that seven out of ten seriously delinquent homeowners do not have a loss mitigation resolution, thus their property addresses are remaining on foreclosure listings. The reason for this is that there are simply too many customers attempting to stop foreclosures. Loss Mitigation departments were once very small and staffed with limited personnel. This limited personnel is not equipped to service the sheer numbers of transactions such as repo homes, and bank foreclosures, that need servicing.
The FHA has also announced their assistance with the Housing Stabilization and Homeownership Retention Act of 2008 to help with government tax foreclosures and tax lien issues. Forcing lenders and banks to forego fees, the FHA is reaching out to those homeowners with a mortgage debt to income ration of no less than 35% the opportunity to refinance and help themselves to avoid the foreclosure market.
Its apparent assistance is out there, however, there is still a staggering number of properties that need new owners. Join now and look at the volumes of foreclosures available to be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Buying a foreclosure will help out another human being, the economy and the country. Start your search today particularly if a move up home or vacation home is in your future, a foreclosure is waiting.

There are so many options available to homeowners in foreclosure if they are proactive early. Many can make arrangements to stay and keep their home. Know the truth…
The government has made a complete mess of this thing. First of all, many of these “homeowners” should have never purchased a home. But the government lowered qualifications and threatened to charge lenders unless they made these loans.
Now that these people can’t pay the mortgage, the rest of us are left to pay for it and keep them in homes they couldn’t afford.
Have we learned our lesson? No! Now we want to give an $8,000 tax credit to new homeowners. STUPID!
