How To Avoid A Foreclosure In Milwaukee

How To Avoid A Foreclosure In Milwaukee
Not long ago, there was a news report about people in Florida being affected by foreclosures.
People who were going through home foreclosures reported high levels of stress related
problems like diabetes, heart attack, and depression. Not many homeowners are aware of the
different options available for them. For example, how many owners know that the lenders in
Wisconsin cannot initiate foreclosure proceedings without lodging a formal complaint in court?
And, that they should include a mediation notice form? Here’s how to avoid a foreclosure:
• Foreclosure Mediation:
You can approach the mediation program center in your local county to request for mediation.
Different alternatives are discussed to prevent a foreclosure; the mediation center ensures that
they’re beneficial to the lender as well as the homeowner. This could include loan modification,
forbearance agreement, short sale, etc.
• Get Help From The Lender:
You can negotiate with the lender, but this should be in the early stages, i.e. as soon as you
realize that you’ll have trouble paying the mortgage. Possible solutions include paying part
payment until the problem is sorted, redoing the terms of the agreement, etc. Lenders are
unlikely to relent if you approach them late, or if there’s significant equity in the property.
• Get Help From The Government:
The government manages several programs to help homeowners facing foreclosure. This
includes The Home Affordable Modification Program and The Home Affordable Refinance
Program. But you’ll have to qualify for these programs.
• Contact a cash home buyer:
Cash home buyers offer to buy your house for cash and usually close sale in less than 2 weeks.
They’ll also take care of the formalities, including closing costs. And you don’t have to worry
about spending for repairs or renovations. You don’t have to pay realtor commission as well.
They come once for an inspection and make an offer at the end of it. If you’re happy with the
price, they’ll begin closing formalities. You can sell the house as it is – with all the junk and
garbage. They’ll manage waste hauling and cleaning as well.
