Welcome > > Owe More Than You Own?

If you owe more than your home is now worth and/or you are having trouble paying your mortgage, don't wait until you miss a payment and risk foreclosure. There are possible solutions for you.

One solution is to refinance to safe FHA financing. This new refinancing option is through the FHASecure program. This program’s goal is to offer borrowers unprecendented foreclosure prevention. This refinancing option is available to borrowers who meet the five following criteria:

- a history of on-time mortgage payments (before teaser rates expired and loan rest)
- a sustained history of employment
- proof of sufficient income to make the new mortgage payments
- interest rates that have or will reset between June 2005 and December 2009
- has at least three percent cash or equity in the home

Another possible solution is a short sale. In a short sale the lender agrees to receive less than the amount owed in exchange for the sale of the property. A short sale has advantages over a foreclosure to both you and your lender in the following ways:

1.) It may not impact your credit
2.) It tends to cost less to your lender
3.) It doesn't take as long to process
4.) It is not as emotionally stressful

If you think a short sale might be the solution for you, visit my Short Sale Resource page for more information. If neither of these solutions will work for you and you think you will enter foreclosure be sure to review my Foreclosure Special Report.

Home Inspections >Serious Inspections

When you are involved in the process of buying a home, it is safe to assume that you will probably find one that you like, make an offer, and purchase it. There are many steps along the way, and more and more buyers in the market today want guarantees. Inspections by structural engineers and environmental specialists often turn up something wrong with the property you want to buy. Many sales have been halted or delayed because asbestos, lead, or radon was found on the property.

If a problem has been found with the property you want to buy, ask yourself two questions:
1) Can the problem be fixed?
2) If so, what will it cost to repair it?

Some of the following problems could keep you from purchasing a property, if:
1) the house rests on a fault line;
2) the water supply is contaminated;
3) there is a severe crack in the foundation;
4) the house is located under electro-magnetic power lines;
5) the house is contaminated with radon gas.

Enlist your real estate agent's help in identifying the existence of any of these problems prior to buying property.
