Foreclosure Help Now!

There is not doubt that the economy is still struggling. Unemployment remains high in Michigan, and we are feeling the effects more than most states. One of the most unfortunate consequences of the stumbling economy is the inability of people to regularly make their mortgage payments.

There are many reasons families become unable to afford their mortgage payments such as job loss or sky-rocketing adjustable rate mortgages. Regardless of the reasons, once you become unable to make your mortgage payments, you need to seek help immediately. Initially, you may look toward state or federal programs geared towards helping homeowners in your situation. However, once you miss your first payment, you begin the timeline towards foreclosure, and you need to be aware of your situation and your rights.

As for the timeline, a typical foreclosure begins after the 3rd mortgage payment is missed. Banks will usually not accept any further partial payments at this point. They then usually advertise in the local newspaper once a week for four weeks about a foreclosure sale of your home. The fifth week is typically when the sale happens. IT IS BEFORE THIS SALE THAT YOU SHOULD ACT AS YOU HAVE MOST OF YOUR RIGHTS STILL IN TACT.

After the foreclosure sale, you have the right to redeem the property which allows you to keep it. This means you will need to payoff the entire balance of the mortgage as well as legal fees and costs. This usually proves too difficult a task since you couldn't make a monthly payment, how are you supposed to pay the entire thing? Nevertheless, the redemption varies depending on the size of the property and whether or not it is occupied. For these reasons, it is extremely important that you seek help immediately.
