Can't Pay the Mortgage...now what? What business lenders should know...


Posted Aug by Linda Keith

It helps to know the options...I recommend this article:

Can't Afford It! Can't Sell it! Can't Refinance It!
Answers to Those Tough Questions About Credit in Today's Environment
Compliments of Linda Ferrari

I particularly like Linda's suggestions for

  • negotiating with the mortgage holder as to how it is reported on the credit report
  • documenting extenuating circumstances to reduce the FannieMae waiting period
  • why 'paid as agreed' may be a better reporting option for the lender

Read the article to get answers to these questions:

"Is it better to file for bankruptcy or to be foreclosed?"
"What is a short sale and how can it affect my credit?"
"What about a Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure?"
"What should I do?"
