FORECLOSURES:
There are several resources for foreclosures available to the public. And these links do not lead you on a wild goose chase like most government assistance leads do. If you go to www.recovery.gov then type into the search box ‘foreclosure’ then click on the tab marked recipient reports, there will be links to your states resources. Government programs at the federal, state and local levels are beginning to make grant money available to local organizations to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Details vary from place to place, but in general, you’ll need to be in serious financial trouble to qualify for assistance. This can include: –being several months behind in mortgage payments –having received, or about to receive, a foreclosure notice –owing more on your mortgage than the actual value of your house –a recent financial shock, such as loss of a job, or large medical expense.

- Home Affordable Modification Many homeowners are struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments perhaps because their interest rate has increased or they have less income. A Home Affordable Modification will provide them with mortgage payments they can afford.
