Mortgage Loan Modification Services That Work
June 15, 2009
If you want to know more about mortgage loan modification services that work, then you must read this article.
There are many companies out there, but not many that can achieve great results. It’s very hard to learn the system and get loan modifications down pat. It is a science and you need to put all the components together in the just the right way to achieve great results.
One thing a good company will do is first check to see if you qualify for any government backed or FHA refinance programs. There are many new programs out there that let homeowners refinance their current mortgages to lower interest rates, even if they are upside down. This should always be the first step, because if you can do this then you do not need a loan modification in the first place. Also, many of these programs work for people with bad credit.
If you are not eligible for any refinance programs, loan modification is the next logical step. To do this, you need a company that is an expert in this field. The best loan modification services will pre qualify you to make sure that you will get approved if you use them. This is done several ways.
First, they should have you speak to an underwriter to determine if you qualify under current lender guidelines. Second, they should have an attorney look over your loan docs for any inconsistencies that can be used as leverage for a loan mod. Third, they should actually call your lender and speak to a case manager to see if you would qualify. And Finally, they should make sure that your debt to income ratio falls into the 3% “window” for qualifying for a loan modification.
If all these steps are completed, you should have a great understading if you are going to qualify and you should also know what kind of result to expect before you proceed. This should all be done before you sign up with the company for free.
