Loan Modification Negotiation
Most mortgage lenders have established departments to work with
homeowners to modify the terms of their existing loan to allow
them to afford to stay in the home. Every mortgage company has a
slightly different method of managing and processing these
modifications. Some mortgage companies will dramatically reduce
interest rates. Others will extend amortizations (reducing
minimum payment amounts) and some will even lower the principal
balance owed.
These mortgage companies have many people in various stages of
foreclosure, therefore dealing with them can be frustrating and
intimidating. If you are well versed in real estate law and
terminology this is a fairly straightforward process, but many
individuals find negotiating with their lender can be a
difficult and frustrating process.
