Insider Information – On Getting a Successful Loan Modification (Part 1)

In the next couple of days, I will share with you tips that will increase your chances of getting a successful loan modification.

If you are facing foreclosure, there is hope.  Even if you received the foreclosure documents, there is hope.  Yes,a pending foreclosure can be scary, but don’t go it alone and by all means do not do nothing.

If your problem is temporary, you may be able to get a temporary forbearance, a reinstatement, or a repayment plan.

A forbearance is when the lender allows you to suspend or reduce your payment for a specific period of time.  Once that time has been completed, you will be contacted to determine when you will be able to bring the account current.  An important note is that a forbearance is often used in conjunction with a reinstatement because the homeowner knows that he or she will be able to bring the account current because he or she may be waiting on a lump sum.  The lump sum may be from an insurance settlement, tax refund, hiring bonus, or investment.

A repayment plan, on the other hand, is an agreement between the lender and the borrower for the borrower to resume making regular payment and portion of the past due amount.

If the borrower financial problem is long, a mortgage modification may be needed.  An example of long term may be a reduction in income due to reduction in work hours or temporary job loss. 

A loan modification can consist of:

• adding the missed payments to the back of the loan
• adjustment of the interest rate from adjustable to a lower fixed rate
• adjustment of the interest rate from a higher fixed rate to a lower fixed rate
• extending the number of years to repay the loan

Another little known loan modification applies to FHA/VA loans.  If you have this type of loan, you may be eligible to get an interest free loan from the mortgage guarantor to bring the loan current, and the repayment may not start for years to come. 

Tomorrow, we will discuss what is required by the lender to determine if you qualify for a loan modification and tips on how to present the information to increase your odds of getting your loan modification approved.

Los Angeles Movers Reveals the Secrets to Moving Safely for Less

When you are moving the last thing you need to worry about is whether or not the vase that Aunt Maggie gave you will be broken by the movers.  Melrose Moving, Los Angeles Moving Company, has many clients that can attest for the expertise of the company and its attention to detail.

Not only does Mover Los Angeles have an excellent repetition, the company also has specialty movers for pianos, high value items, etc.

The Moving Company Los Angeles challenges you to look for signs of expertise in moving of fine furniture.  A mover of fine furniture should have custom built wooden crates for your artwork and fine furniture, so Aunt Maggie’s vase will not get broken.   The movers should be aware of all techniques required to handle fine furniture and artwork.

There are other fine and important items that are moved that you may overlook.  Did you know that it is best that your will, pictures, videos, or other items that are consider sentimental value that you package those items and carry those items with you?

Items or things that are considered sentimental or precious that you may not consider when moving is the family pet. The family pet may have anxiety about the move, so you may want to consider the pet’s feeling or reaction before and during the move. You may want to consider contacting a pet setter before the move and have the pet setter keep the pet during the move. Make sure that you have the pet’s veterinary records up to date to include all rabies shops if you decide that the pet will remain at the home during the move.

Remember to keep the pet out of the way of the movers. This will ensure both the pets and movers safety. Your pet may be territorial so keep the pet occupied will avoid incidents.

When you get to the new home reward your pet with their favorite treat or toy when first introducing the pet to the new home this will help the pet relax and feel at home.

If the family pet is a cat, you may have to employ different tactics with the move. Transport the cat in an animal carrier. This will help with anxieties that the cat may have about the move. When you arrive at the new home, allow the cat’s curiosity about the new surrounding be its guide.

Another tip for your pet and the move is to put the pet’s bed, feeding and water dishes, cat litters, etc. in similar locations as the previous home, so that the pet becomes familiar with the new home quicker.
