Is a Loan Modification Right for Me?
If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payment, and you do not see any foreseeable way to catch up, a
loan modification may be a good option for you. At Jacoby & Jacoby, we have helped countless clients throughout New York improve their financial situation through a loan modification, and would be more than happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your financial situation with you.
Loan modifications are not for everyone. In general, the people who benefit the most from a loan modification meet at least one of the following criteria:
-
A financial hardship has put you in a position where you could lose your home
-
You anticipate you will experience a serious financial hardship in the near future
-
Your mortgage is larger than the value of your home
-
You are facing
foreclosure
-
You have fallen behind on your mortgage payments
-
Your adjustable rate mortgage has increased and you can no longer afford it
-
Your adjustable rate mortgage is about to increase, which will raise your monthly payment
-
You have a fixed mortgage rate, but your interest rate is at least 2% above the current market value for a 30 or 40-year home loan
-
You have a steady source of income
At Jacoby & Jacoby, we have helped many clients in New York successfully apply for a loan modification, and can protect you from foreclosure scams or shady loan modification companies. Our goal is to help you achieve your objectives to ensure a more secure financial future, whether that means successfully modifying your loan or taking advantage of some alternatives to a loan modification, such as
bankruptcy,
short sale, or
loan forbearance.
