Foreclosures are commonplace now—very plentiful. A significant percentage of homeowners are in some form of default. Lots more are having a hard time meeting their obligations. As the economy stagers, or even modestly improves, there are monies to be made in the foreclosure crisis.

Foreclosure begins when a home owner falls behind on their bills. Often an individual’s home loan payment is one of their biggest debts. A few months after not paying the bill, the mortgage servicer will start to foreclose on the property. Ultimately , the home-owner will forfeit ownership of their home if they neglect paying the bill. The home will then become REO or “real estate owned” by the bank.

my mortgage company has offered me a package to avoid foreclosure of my home. This package will leave me virtually no monies to pay any of my other outstanding debts which include my car payment – a car I need desperately in order to get to and from work – a drive of 20 miles each way. It also leaves me with little to eat on or maintain the daily expenses that life brings such as electric & gas bills. Am I better off just accepting the foreclosure and getting out of the house. And if so, what will this do to me in regards to getting any credit in the future.
