Loan Remodifications

Banks have realized that they would rather not have to foreclose on a property. They have learned that each delinquency and foreclosure is costly to administer, with a typical foreclosure estimated at $60,000, or about 20-25 percent of the loan balance (legal fees alone can cost $4,000), and those costs are expected to be even higher in times of home price depreciation. Banks already have an overwhelming number of properties in foreclosure, and they are finally recognizing their need to accept loan modifications via their loss mitigation departments.

The time has never been better for consumers (who own homes) to take action and request that their loans be modified towards better terms and a lower interest rate. Moreover, with these new economic realities, a loan modification may be the only way for a homeowner to save their home.

Recently, large numbers of homeowners have been trying to complete "loan workouts" or loan modifications with their current mortgage lender to lower the interest rate and improve the terms of their loan. They have learned that negotiating with the bank for a modification of their home loan can be an overwhelming process. Major lenders such as Countrywide bank, Indy Mac bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, WAMU, New Century, Quicken Loans, Aurora, Aegis, EMC Mortgage, CITI Mortgage, Chase Bank, are inundated with defaults and foreclosures.
