My mortgage company give me a Loan Modification Offer, what can I do and how does it really work?
Any advice here would be much appreciated!
I am currently going on the third month of not paying my mortgage payment. My husband and I seperated...I still work full time...I a short time ago do not make enough money. I tried so intricate to work with my mortgage company months ago, they could have care less. SO...I figured instead of other being behind and worrying if my roast would get turned off... I did not get the last two months of payments. I paid my overdue utilities instead. (Please do not comment beside critisism or judge me...I am a single mom and have no debt save for my home.) I have the option of moving put a bet on home with my parents and starting over...and let the house stir. While foreclosure is taking place I have in the region of a year to save all my money and move. Honestly, I do not want to agree to it go and lose what credit I have gone, but at this point I cannot afford not to. (house is not worth what I owe on it...I can not even sell)
Okay so sorry that part took a minute to tell. Now my situation is this: I get today in the mail an bestow from my mortgage company to modify my loan. (now they want to help me?) They propose to lower my monthly payment substantially by lowering my current interest rate (8% fixed now) to 3% for the first year. After that it will shift up yearly no more than 1% until it is capped at 5.125%. Sounds biddable right?Except the life of my loan is now 40 years instead of the 24 I hold left now. If this be it, I would not think so bad of the concord, but the other part is (if Iam reading this correctly?...Iam no loan officer) The maturity date of the loan will not modification...meaning I will then owe a HUGE payment(what they send for a ballon payment). This is due when the original date would have be for my loan to originally be paid off. It is over 40,000. So I have an idea that what they are saying is they will modify my loan and it will include affordable payments and lower interest rate. But, because it will not be enough to wage off the loan at that time, I will then inevitability to make that last big payoff to pay off the loan. I hope I work out that right? My question is could I sell the house past that time and pay it off that track? What if I do not...then I have default on the loan when I can't come up with the ballon payment? And how does this incorporate up to being a 40 year mortgage if the payoff is due before 40yrs? Is this my solitary option in "loan modification"?

okay, read it adjectives :) alot of mortgage companies are waiting until people are past due past they are willing to work with them--don't get the drift why but, it's how it works... I would take the offer if it's a monthly donation you can afford--if in fact nearby is a balloon payment due at the end of your possession, you can always refinance that amount and the payments would be alot cheaper then what you are used to paying...and unsurprisingly you could still sell at anytime when you are ready and competent...best of luck to ya~~
Suggest you pay for legal counsel on this offer, rather than thousands of Yahoos who haven't see the document.
Generally, unless there is prepayment penalty, you can retribution off loan early lacking penalty before it become due.
The bank is trying to help you by lowering the cost to something you can afford, and hoping that subsequently you will be earning more money, be more financially stable and can refi, or you will sell house and discharge them off.
It sounds like a moral offer IF you can afford it.
Think carefully just about it, read all documents carefully, get hold of some expert advice (go to Legal Aid, HUD Hope for Homes, etc.), be aware of what you are signing and your obligations, and attain the chip off your shoulder. But if you can't afford the lower payments, it does you no good, merely extends the anguish. And foreclosure may not take a full year from the start of it, now that the bank are doing more, they're acting more expeditiously.
Making extra payments of principal can reduce significantly the term of the loan and the amount of the balloon donation. Even just an extra $20 per month principal payment can enjoy a HUGE impact, particularly in the first 5-010 years of the loan.
