Avoid foreclosure using a foreclosure prevention program during a grace period (pre-foreclosure):

Two main solutions are possible with many variations:

* a loan refinance or new loan is obtained to pay off late payments and bring the loan current.
* the Collections department works out new payments with the owner to avoid foreclosure. 

Contact Rachel Jones for your foreclosure prevention 

A foreclosure expert can help to quickly navigate the options that may be available to you and select the best option for your situation.

* Special Forbearance

Your lender may be able to arrange a repayment plan based on your financial situation and may even provide for a temporary reduction or suspension of your payments. You may qualify for this if you have recently experienced a reduction in income or an increase in living expenses.

* Mortgage Modification

You may be able to refinance the debt and/or extend the term of your mortgage loan. This may help you catch up by reducing the monthly payments to a more affordable level. You may qualify if you have recovered from a financial problem and can afford the new payment amount. Most lenders can work with home owners even if they have poor credit and have a foreclosure date. Chances to obtain a loan to regain a current status on your mortgage become diminished once you have received a notice of default (NOD). Notice of Default is usually sent after 90 days of the mortgage payment being late.

* Partial Claim

Your lender may be able to work with you to obtain a one-time payment from the FHA-Insurance fund to bring your mortgage current. You may qualify if:

* your loan is at least 4 months delinquent but no more than 12 months delinquent;
* are able to begin making full mortgage payments.

When your lender files a Partial Claim, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will pay your lender the amount necessary to bring your mortgage current. You must execute a Promissory Note, and a Lien will be placed on your property until the Promissory Note is paid in full. The Promissory Note is interest-free and is due when you pay off the first mortgage or when you sell the property.

* Pre-foreclosure sale.

This will allow you to avoid foreclosure by selling your property for an amount less than the amount necessary to pay off your mortgage loan.
You may qualify if:

o the loan is at least 2 months delinquent;
o you are able to sell your house within 3 to 5 months; and
o a new appraisal (that your lender will obtain) shows that the value of your home meets HUD program guidelines.

* Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
As a last resort, you may be able to voluntarily "give back" your property to the lender. This won't save your house, but it is not as damaging to your credit rating as a foreclosure. You may qualify if:

* you are in default and don't qualify for any of the other options;
* your attempts at selling the house before foreclosure were unsuccessful; and
* you don't have another FHA mortgage in default.
