Failed Loan Modification? A Short Sale May Help You To Avoid Foreclosure
Every week I speak to local homeowners who are frustrated with the process of obtaining a loan modification. I know there are a lot of people out there that claim they can guarantee results, etc. However, I am doubtful of those claims. And in my experience, whether you will get a loan modification depends mainly on who your lender is (servicer) and who the investors are behind the loan. Since you already have the loan and are in a bind, you can't do anything about who your lender is, what you have is what you have. I have spoken to homeowners who have spent 15 months working through the system only to be rejected for the second or third time.
