Can you Prevent Foreclosure?

I often hear about the lengthy letter borrowers are sending lenders to explain their hardship. Once the letter is sent they expect the bank will contact them right away to offer a loan modification; but it doesn’t work that way and borrowers get frustrated. Even though having gone through some financial issues help banks being more empathic; what they really want to know is if you can afford a “modified payment”.
Fannie Mae uploaded a Video in YouTube explaining the documents your lender need to be able to help you. Before you call your Lender gather the following information:
- Mortgage Statement
- Condo/Homeowners Association Statement (if applicable)
- Pay stubs and W-2’s if employed or Profit and Loss Statement if Self Employed
- Income Tax Returns
- Statements on every other debt, balance owed and monthly Payment. Including lines of credit, credit cards, car loan, student loans in other words….document every single penny you owe. Remember that this is not to tell the bank how broke you are but to help them figure out if you qualify for a “new loan”.
- And of course a letter stating the reason why you can’t pay the current mortgage payment.
Be truthful, don’t hide anything!!! and Good Luck
