Great hub! There is a lot of information here. 80% of homeowners that attempt a loan modification on their own fail according to congress. The 20% that do get a loan modification is a temporary freeze on the loan or a poor rate reduction that does not help the homeowner. Using a loss mitigation real estate attorney with experience is best. http://loanmodificationhelp.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the comment rickzepeda. It is true, loan modifications that are handled on your own, doesn't necessarily get you through the door into the modification world. There are also a few things that should be considered as well. Some companies require at least 2 or 3 months of delinquent payments, which would lead you directly into foreclosure if the loan modification doesn't work. A bit risky. You are definitely correct, a loss mitigation real estate attorney can help you reduce risks and increase your chances of a modification.
