Questions & AnswersHi this is David Anderson on behalf of Expert Village talking about the foreclosure process in particular number nine,"What are my options?". This is meant for discussion and not for legal advice so please consult a attorney for legal advice and most of all the references are being made about a trusty foreclosure. There are different options depending on where you are at in the foreclosure process. The sooner that you start working on it, the better and the more options that you have. The longer you wait often embarrassing and beaten up about the process, the least amount of options you have and the blinker it may look. Number one the lender workout plan. At first the lender is trying to work with you, answer their calls and/or their letters and communicate with them. You would find them much more wanting to work with you in the beginning. If you can get a workout plan going with them, you may be able to get your home reinstated at the end of it. They offer various choices of workout plans for you. Who can you list your property for sale? At the beginning, you may decide that the best thing for you is to sale and get your equity and get out of your home and move on. You may have to give a third party approval from the lender at this point but it will be worth the hassle. Three if you have enough equity, you may be able to refinance your loan or loans. Again time is in the essence so make sure you leave your self enough time to get the loan processed and closed. Number four you can sell your home to a investor and walk away from it to sometimes in order to restore your credit you might need to just walk away from it all. Maybe you don't have that much equity and it cost you much to list it and take too long. Working with the right type of investor can be very helpful to you but be very careful cause there are many predators out there. But in the other hand realize if they are willing to partner with you and get you some of your equity out of it, it might be a good thing to sell to them. Number five simply give it back to the bank in lieu of foreclosure. Not always a option but if you do have it, you might want to use it; check with your lender. Number six file bankruptcy not the best choice but it can stay or delay the process giving you more time or for any of the above mention options. But please seek legal advice on whether to file bankruptcy or not. Please remember if you get caught in this horrible situations that bad things happens to go people. Don't beat yourself up but learn from them and move on. This has been David Anderson representing Expert Village talking about the foreclosure process. In particular, what are my options.
