Learn how!
The Federal Government has stated that over 2 million homeowners could benefit from a mortgage loan modification to help them avoid foreclosure. Frustrated, confused and angry homeowners are desperately seeking the help they need to undertand their loan modification options and put a plan in place to save their home. But if you are one of the millions who need mortgage loan modification help, where do you start? You might have been taken advantage of with a sub prime or adjustable rate loan-so do not be taken advantage of again. Here are the pros and cons of hiring a loan modification company or working with your lender directly for a mortgage loan modification:
Loan Modification Companies: OK, just Google the words and hundreds of ads pop up. All of these companies are relatively new to the loan modification business, let’s face it, 2 years ago the word “loan modification” wasn’t even on the radar. Now it is almost always mentioned along with toxic loans, mortgage meltdown, housing crisis and predatory lending.
Pay a Company?
Most of the companies are staffed with former mortgage brokers and loan officers who pay for leads from another new industry, the loan modification lead generator businesses. These companies mine the public records for late paying borrowers and homeowners who have fallen into default, then the information is sold to a loan modification company. If you are one of these borrowers, you have probably gotten a mailing or phone call. Not that this is a bad thing, with millions of homeowners needing help, there is a need for trained, experienced professionals to assist borrowers who don’t feel they can negotiate with their lender on their own.
Just be sure that before you pay a mortgage loan modification company thousands of dollars to represent you (usually with no guarantee of the outcome) that you have done your own research and learned as much as you can about the mortgage loan modification process. At least then you will know what questions to ask and have a pretty good idea of how the transaction should be handled. You might be more comfortable retaining the services of a firm that has an attorney on staff. An attorney experienced in real estate law can bring some legal pressure to bear on the bank, for such things as lending and disclosure violations. Of course, the attorney based firms are more expensive.
Do it Yourself: You might say, “I don’t know the first thing about mortgage loan modifications, so how would I even know how to get started”. Listen, it’s not rocket science-you just need to learn a few calculations and how to complete the mortgage loan modification forms properly. The secret to a successful loan modification is HOW IT IS PRESENTED. Let’s face it, no one is going to work as hard as you to get your loan modification approved-after all, you have the most to gain and the most to lose. You may be like the thousands of homeowners across the country who simply do not have the few thousand dollars to pay a loan modification company. It’s not hopeless-you can learn the basics, take your time, and learn how to submit a professional mortgage loan modification application.

Whether you decide to hire a mortgage loan modification company or on a do it yourself loan modification, it is only smart to first learn all you can about how the loan modification process works.

Good article. In reference to the opening statement “The Federal Government has stated that over 2 million homeowners could benefit from a mortgage loan modification…”, I believe its over 9 million now. Wow. So many people have an opportunity to get their payment lowered and save their home. I find that the biggest obstacle for most of them is their own skepticism.

Everyone talks about how the economy is somehow “back” just because the stock market has rebounded from its lows. People are still out of work and there are still millions of houses facing foreclosure! I appreciate loan modification sites like yours that set the record straight!

The federal loan modification program has been revised a bit-lenders are now required to respond to homeowners within 30 days of applying for a loan modification. The trial modification period will be 3 months, and if all the payments are made on time then the modification will be made permanent automatically.
This is great news for homeowners who have been in limbo waiting for an answer to their loan modification application or those who have gone through the trial only to find out that they have been denied a permanent modification.
You can increase your chances of loan modification approval by preparing your financial statement correctly the first time. Use the Loan Mod Quick App software to fine tune your budget so that you meet the federal guidelines.
