Foreclosure Help
In todays economy, most anyone is vulnerable to financial crisis. Whether its from a job loss, medical problems, divorce, or any number of other unfortunate circumstances, the loss of income can be a devastating blow, often difficult to recover from. Many have never missed a payment in their lives….
Years ago, if one needed to scale back, a person could simply sell their home, cash out and move on. Unfortunately in todays tough real estate market its likely not a viable option. Most are upside down in their homes, and can no longer afford the payments, let alone buy out of their mortgage.
When facing personal financial crisis, its tough to know what to do, and which path will be the best choice, with the least negative impact. But there are options out there. Lots of them….Loan Modification, Foreclosure, Deed in Lieu, Short Sale, Foreclosure, Bankruptcy…the list goes on. Maybe sometimes the best choice is the lesser of evils, but its a direction, nonetheless.

Short Sale VS Foreclosure.
When is a Short Sale the best option? When is it best to simply let the bank foreclose? Every individual situation is different, but the basics are this: With a Short Sale, the negative impact to credit score is typically much less, and you can usually buy again within 2 – 3 years depending on location, loan product, etc. A foreclosure has the worst impact on a credit report and it sticks there the longest. Period.
In MN there is typically no deficiency judgement on a first mortgage (see Understanding Deficiency Judgements), but if there is a second mortgage or other junior lienholder, a deficiency judgement can be pursuit either way. The benefit of a short sale under these circumstances could be huge.
Why would the bank allow a Short Sale? Foreclosing on a property takes time ( a year or more), and its expensive. Lenders will allow Short Sales because they typically net the Lienholder a higher payoff, they are usually in better overall condition, and the Lienholder incurs less costs by doing so.

The Credit Score
Credit scores are the defining element of your overall financial life. Yet most consumers are completely unfamiliar with the intricacies of credit scoring. From mortgage and auto finance rates to the cost of insurance premiums your credit score is the dominant component that determines the price you will pay for nearly everything you buy. In fact, many employers are doing background checks that include credit reports as a major part of the employee screening and hiring process. If you are someone with great credit who feels you are immune to credit problems, you may be surprised how quickly one mistake can change your credit life. On the other hand if you are a person who has less than perfect credit you already know the dramatic impact credit has on your life, you live it everyday! Once you find yourself in this position, it can literally take you years to climb out of it unless someone shows you how to properly rebuild.
A question that is often posed today is, “I currently have great credit!” However, I cannot continue to make my payments. The question is, Should I let my home go into foreclosure, should I do a short-sale and do I need to consider bankruptcy?
