What Foreclosure Assistance Programs are Available to Veterans?
When faced with foreclosure, it is important to act quickly and explore your options with a knowledgeable attorney. McFarlin LLP can analyze your financial situation and determine the best choices for protecting your finances, home and the well being of your family. Some of these options include:
VA Compromise Sale
Much like a short sale, a homeowner with a Veteran Affairs-guaranteed loan may sell the house for a lower amount than the payoff amount for your loan and the VA will pay the difference.
VA Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
Just like a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the VA will purchase the deed to the property, releasing the homeowner from mortgage obligations.
VA Refunding
If the VA loan has been in default, the VA may purchase the loan in rare instances and assume responsibility for remaining mortgage payments.
Special Forbearance
The loan servicer will agree to delay foreclosure proceedings for a period of time in order to allow the homeowner to catch up on missed payments.
Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan
The IRRRL allows you to lower your interest rate by refinancing an existing VA loan, which should help lower the monthly mortgage payments.
Defending Your Home Against Foreclosure
It may seem impossible to overcome the threat of foreclosure, but with a strong legal representative, you can find the right solution and begin making progress. Do not wait to take action. By hiring a lawyer to protect your rights and help you make an informed decision, you can reach a realistic agreement with your lender.
