California Leads the Nation in Foreclosures
Loan Modification Help Center –
In the month of May, 2009, California alone reported 92,249 properties with foreclosure filings, the highest of any state. Think about that number, that number represents over 92,000 families who face the prospect of losing their home. If the average family has two parents and two children, that’s four people for every home, which means over 350,000 people in California face homelessness, just in the month of May!
Some industry experts feel that there is still too much uncertainty in the overall economy to know if the foreclosure spike will ever shrink. This is bad news, especially when approximately one million option adjustable-rate mortgages are estimated to reset higher in the next four years. Adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMs, are the type of mortgage that have fluctuating interest rates. These are the very mortgages that started this economic collapse, causing tens of millions of people to suffer serious financial challenges. With another million homes ready to face potentially dangerous financial conditions, that means that millions of people, many of whom are in California, will be crushed by the weight of high interest rates, debt and terrible mortgage loans. Few neighborhoods, if any, can stand any further collapse of the housing market. California as a state already is tens of billions of dollars away from having a balanced budget, and that is without the coming economic challenges.
Many homeowners are searching for answers, answers they are afraid will not come any time soon. Banks are calling them, lenders are calling them, their paychecks are probably shrinking and overall they are being crushed by the doubt and fear that financial insecurity brings with it. When everyone around you is facing financial challenges, it is hard to have hope, to say the least.
Truth is, there is an answer to those facing foreclosure proceedings. Loan modification attorneys are working with people throughout California to help them navigate the dangerous waters of foreclosure and stay in their homes. California loan modification attorneys who are qualified have years of experience helping people stay in their homes by negotiating with lenders to lower their monthly mortgage payments.
A loan modification is basically a renegotiation of your existing mortgage loan to change the terms with the goal of lowering your monthly mortgage payment. For example, your California loan modification attorney may be able to lower your interest rate, get a set interest rate instead of an adjustable one, get a principal reduction, eliminate late fees or some other option to get your monthly mortgage payments lower. A loan modification attorney could also get the length of your loan extended from a 30 year mortgage to a 40 year mortgage, extending the length of the payments.
If you are one of the millions of Californians who need a California loan modification attorney, do not hesitate to contact someone today. You could be missing out on the help you need to stay in your home long term, avoid foreclosure and have the kind of financial peace of mind few people have these days.
