Remember how happy you were when you bought your home? Maybe it was smaller than you liked, but you were just using it as a stepping stone to get into a nicer home down the road. Or, perhaps, it was the house of your dreams and you couldn't wait to close the deal. But, then, it happened. Something went wrong and now you need loan modification help.
The first thing you need to do is try to relax. Getting worked up about will only make everything else more difficult, and it's important to be able to think calmly and clearly. There is plenty of help available to people just like you and me.
Just knowing there is assistance out there waiting can do a lot to ease your mind. And the good news is that you don't need to have an advanced degree in economics, though it is a good idea to know enough to understand what's going on.
Once you start the whole process, you may realize that it's a bit more tricky than you had originally thought; not complicated, just tricky. For many modification programs you'll have to write what's known as a hardship letter. This letter is how you get started and explains your reasons for seeking changes in your current agreement. So, while it's not complicated, you may not know how to write such a letter. That's when loan modification help from a third party can be a welcome relief.
If you are like most people you have a general idea of what's in your current mortgage; what percentage rate you have, how long your mortgage term is and what your monthly payment is. But, like most people, you probably don't know the specifics of all those numbers and how they affect your bottom line. Is it a better deal to get your percentage rate dropped by two points, or to have your penalties forgiven and the term extended? Only you know what's best for you and your situation.
