It's a Great Time to Rent
You'll have to wait 5 years or more until you have equity in your home again. Can you afford to make the payment for that long? You can probably rent a similar quality home for about HALF your current payment. What will your lifestyle look like with a big drop in housing costs? Will you work less to spend more time with your family? Will you spend the extra money on vacation, hobbies, debt reduction, education, or savings?
Act Now
A foreclosure will severely damage your credit for several years. To keep foreclosure off your credit, contact us immediately so we have time to find a buyer and get the sale closed before foreclosure. If you haven't found a way to save your home by the time the Notice of Default has been recorded, you probably won't, so call us right away.
Note: If you have no equity and an FHA insured loan, DO NOT move out of the home.
