Lenders Can Help Prevent Home Foreclosures

The recent series of problems that the mortgage lending industry has gone through has made homeowners more aware of the subject of foreclosure. From the point of view of a lending institution, foreclosing on a home and putting it up for auction is a last ditch option that's used to recover some of the money that it lent the owner of the home so that he or she could buy that property. Because of the fact that homes almost never sell at auction for anything close to what they're worth or what the lender put up for the initial sale of the home, foreclosure isn't a very good way for lenders to make money and is therefore often avoided at all costs.

From the point of view of homeowners though, foreclosure is pretty much the worst thing that could possibly happen to them. This point of view is well grounded when you think about all of the consequences of foreclosure. For example, foreclosure means that the homeowner will lose his or her home itself, plus whatever money he or she has already put into the home in the form of improvements, insurance, taxes, and mortgage payments which include interest and principle! On top of that, the lender has the option of pursuing the homeowner for whatever is still owed on the home after the house is auctioned off, and the former homeowner's credit record is left in shambles. It's worth mentioning that most lenders never recover any of the money that they don't get from the auction of the home simply because the former homeowner is so destitute that she or he can't be bled any more. It's also worth mentioning that someone who loses a home to foreclosure ten years into a mortgage, loses a lot more money than someone who bought their home only two years prior. That's because of all of the money that's been poured into mortgage payments over the years and represents a lot of wasted effort!

Because of all of these things, lenders are often demonized by homeowners as the institutions that rob people of their houses through foreclosure. However, as mentioned above, foreclosure is a poor option for lenders as well because of the fact that they often lose money on the deal! Because of the money that they lose from foreclosure- especially compared to the money that they could make over the course of the lifetime of a mortgage- most lenders are highly motivated to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Far from being the homeowner's worst enemy when tough times strike, the lender is actually the homeowner's first line of defense against foreclosure!

So what can Home Assure do to help a homeowner keep his or her home? The answer is that it depends on several things. It depends on how many (if any) payments have been missed, how consistently payments have been made in the past, the homeowner's overall credit history, how much effort the homeowner has put forth to come up with the money for payments, and how long the homeowner's economic difficulties are likely to last. The better the homeowner has been at making payments and maintaining a good credit record, the more effort a lender will be willing to invest in coming up with a solution. The exact solution will depend on the duration and extent of the homeowner's difficulties. For example, a temporary set back may simply be handled by suspending the homeowner's responsibility for payments until things get back to normal. A long term problem with the homeowner's income potential can be deal with by modifying the mortgage, replacing the mortgage with a new one (both of these options should make the monthly payment low enough to afford), or possibly selling the house on the real estate market so that the proceeds can pay off the mortgage and preserve the homeowner's credit.
