Timeshare in Orlando and have been offered a deed in lieu of foreclosure to get rid of this bad deal. They want to charge before I can see documents or information. Is this normal?
They insist on a credit card for the $750.00 for the deed back documents before they are sent.
A good way to get a cheaper home is to buy one that has been repossessed. How do you find one? Looking in the foreclosure listings will help you. You can find these by looking in your local newspaper and on the Internet. You can also go through an agent. Websites give you a comprehensive list of repossessed houses. You can get lucky and find local ones but it does take a little time. Sometimes it is wise to sign up for a mailing subscription, which will allow you to get updated properties sent to you each day.

This is your chance to find homes at real bargain prices. It can mean that you will be able to buy a home, at lower prices, that you would never have been able to afford in the normal way.

Real estate agents have additional foreclosure listings that will allow you to have a greater choice. Some of them are special agents for HUD reposed homes. This allows them greater access to these types of houses. They can show you the houses and point out the different aspects of the homes.

Fanny Mae homes’ prices are sometimes negotiable and your real estate agent can help you to get the best price. Be honest about what price you can afford and have a reasonable idea of what you want, when you talk to your real estate agent.
Before contacting a real estate agent take a look at the websites online that are offering foreclosure listings. They will have pictures of the houses and you can get a good idea of what you want and also the price ranges. Pick out a few in your area and see whether your real estate agent can show them to you.

Hello Everyone,
We have hired an attorney to handle our loss mitigation case. Our mortgage is currently two months past due. The file has been with the attorneys for over three months. Took a while to gather the documentation initially. We paid a gripload of money upfront. But my biggest concern is how willing are these lenders to work with people? My mortgage is with GMAC and I’ve heard good things about them. The negotiatior over at GMAC is currently reviewing the financials on the file. We definitely show a hardship.
Long story short, my mortgage payment adjusted through the roof and I can’t afford the new payment amount, plus we’re upside down on the value. Any success stories? Basically the attorneys are trying to negotiate a lower principal and lower rate, 30 year fixed.
I’m so worried that we may end up losing our home, yet optimistic because I’m hearing a lot of lenders are working with their customers. Again, any success stories are appreciated. Please advise. Thx!

I can’t seem to get any interest from buyers, house is in the low price bracket but in good order, trouble is there is plenty around the area to choose from. I don’t want to sell but will face a longer term problel financially if I can’t lower the payments on one or both mortgages.
