22 Jul 2008 at 2:29pm In general, the only way to keep your home is if you are able to make a normal monthly payment. Even if you can not afford your existing payment, we would be able to negotiate a lower monthly payment or do a loan modification. But if you could not afford a lower payment either, then there would be no reason to try and save the home from eventually ending up in foreclosure. 22 Jul 2008 at 2:29pm Depending on how you plan to buy the foreclosure property, it can take anywhere from 1 day to over a year! Here are the basic stages of foreclosure and how long it would take to purchase the property at that stage: Pre-Foreclosure - This is a property where the owner has missed payments and is in danger of losing the home to foreclosure. At this point, the bank does not control what the owner can do with the home, as long as they can satisfy the lien against the home. 21 Jul 2008 at 12:13pm There are many ideas floating around Washington DC these days, but will any of them help stop the foreclosure crisis' Everyone seems to have their own plan for helping homeowners through new legislation and banking rules. 21 Jul 2008 at 12:12pm Either from homeowners taking frustrations out on the house or simple neglect by a bank owner, foreclosure properties are often in a state that requires extensive work before they are livable. However, occasionally homeowners may come across a listing pointing out a "clean foreclosure." How this type of property differs from the average can mean savings for home buyers and a beneficial solution for the banks owning such houses. 21 Jul 2008 at 11:54am Now that the foreclosure crisis has taken the economic lives of hundreds of mortgage lenders, a handful of banks, and untold numbers of families, it makes sense to evaluate what has happened to engineer the events now taking place. With a central bank controlling the money supply and the nation enjoying issuing the reserve currency of the world, it is not difficult to analyze how the country has been set up to be sold off to the highest secret foreign corporate bidders. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:29pm One of the more distressing aspects of experiencing a financial hardship is the feeling that the bills will never go away or be paid off. Cable television, internet, cell phones, housing phones, and newspaper and magazine subscriptions may be somewhat unnecessary but have become almost indispensable for modern life in America. And all of these bills do not even take into account utilities like heat and electricity, or debt payments like car loans, the mortgage, student loans, and credit cards. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:28pm One of the most important aspects of Chapter 13 bankruptcy and how it relates to the home mortgage foreclosure process is its ability to put the entire proceedings on hold, no matter how far along they have gone or when they homeowners file for bankruptcy. This means that foreclosure victims can, in many cases, wait until just a few hours before their home is scheduled to be auctioned at a county sheriff sale, and still have the sale stopped. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:27pm Homeowners insurance is one of the peripheral issues that families facing foreclosure must deal with. While it is possible that the county can take the home through a different type of foreclosure for unpaid property taxes, and the mortgage company will be pursuing a lawsuit for the defaulted mortgage contract, there is little the homeowners insurance company will do upon nonpayment. However, this does not mean that property owners have nothing to worry about. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:24pm When homeowners receive a bank's foreclosure complaint in the mail, they are usually given from fourteen days to a month to file an answer with the court. While the circumstances of the situation should determine how exactly the owners will respond to the lawsuit, there are a number of different options they may consider when fighting back against their lender's attempt to auction the house. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:17pm Besides the possibility of having nowhere to go after foreclosure and being publicly humiliated during an eviction, one reason homeowners may try and stay in a foreclosed house as long as possible is that they do not believe they will ever own a home again. After all, banks would never lend to foreclosure victims, right' Wrong -- and by keeping in mind a few simple principles and applying them for the first few years after losing a home, borrowers may find it quite painless to qualify for a new mortgage. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:16pm There is no question that the most important tool that the increasingly cash-strapped people of American can use to reassert their power over the economy and their financial lives is their monthly debt payments. Without the huge amounts of borrowing that have been done in recent decades, most of the money in existence right now would cease to exist, and banks would be in a much more difficult position. 16 Jul 2008 at 4:14pm Closely related to the question of if homeowners who lose a property to foreclosure will ever be able to qualify for a new loan again, is how soon they can apply for another mortgage. Thankfully, the answer to this question depends mainly on how much the homeowners are willing to work to repair their financial situation and how serious they are about establishing new, responsible credit histories. 9 Jul 2008 at 9:11am In another wave of unintended consequences of bank's poor lending activities and the pump and dump nature of the housing market over the past decade, defaults on Home Equity Lines of Credit have risen to historic highs. This comes just a few months after mortgage companies began to lock homeowners out of access to their accounts, due to declining home values in local real estate markets. 9 Jul 2008 at 9:10am With all of the bad economic news coming out every day, and the continuing collapse of housing prices and record foreclosure numbers, it often seems like the situation just can not get any worse. Unfortunately, the numbers being reported now about the number of foreclosures compared to a year ago quite underestimate the problem, as foreclosures take months to wind their way through the legal system. 9 Jul 2008 at 9:09am If your HOA is trying to force a foreclosure on your condo or townhouse due to unpaid association fees, then it may be likely that they have a lien on the property. This may have been the result of some type of confession of judgment if you ever fell behind or due to the association suing you in civil court. Otherwise there may be some clause somewhere in your HOA paperwork that lets them sue you for a foreclosure if you fall behind on the association dues. |

25 Jul 2008 at 4:33am  Tim Iacono submits: Still catching up on developments over the last few days when we were off in the high-country, one of the more shocking reports was the rise in foreclosure activity in California through the second quarter of the year. When some of us were yelling "housing bubble" back in 2004 and 2005, many pollyannas would point to 1996 and say, "Pipe down - we're not even close to the levels of mortgage delinquency seen back then and that doesn't factor in the population growth". Complete Story »25 Jul 2008 at 4:19am Tim Iacono submits: The amount of misdirection coming from the NAR (National Association of Realtors) seems to be inversely correlated with the skittishness exhibited by potential buyers as seen in comments for yesterday's report on existing home sales.
25 Jul 2008 at 12:34am Money Morning submits: By Jennifer Yousfi Troubling data on the U.S. housing industry released Thursday lends weight to iconic income investor Bill Gross’ theory that global financial firms will eventually see $1 trillion in total write-downs. Complete Story »24 Jul 2008 at 4:44pm  Matt Cooper (Portfolio.com) submits:
When you have an economic mess like the one we're in now--falling housing prices, a credit crunch, unstable capital markets, and whacked-out energy prices--you need a big cup of calm. And the housing bill that passed the House of Representatives this week should provide some chamomile tea (if not Xanax) for a jittery economy. Complete Story »24 Jul 2008 at 3:20pm The Housing Bill going through Congress will not solve the nation's housing problem. Congress would like to help homeowners who are overextended, as well as prospective home buyers. By extension, they want to help home-builders and developers and the whole food-chain involved in the residential construction sector. The housing bill will not help. The real problem: too many housing units. Today the Census Bureau released second quarter data on vacancy rates, and the numbers are still ugly. 24 Jul 2008 at 1:48pm  David Merkel submits: Let me start off with two Columnist Conversation posts that talk about crowded trades: When Is a Trade Crowded' 8/9/2006 9:35 AM EDT Complete Story »24 Jul 2008 at 7:21am In PIMCO Managing Director Bill Gross's monthly market commentary for August 2008, the 'Bond King' comments on what will ease the credit crisis: Aside from cyclical contractions and a brief bout of deflationary monetary policy in the Volkerian 80s, credit has always been available and at a relatively cheap price. Credit and debt finance is, in fact, the mother’s milk of capitalism: without it, entrepreneurs may transact, but economic progress would be most difficult with seashells or gold bars for mediums of exchange... Complete Story »24 Jul 2008 at 6:46am Jack Miller submits: ...(I received an) email complaint about my being a broken record in regard to the airlines. It noted that I recommended these stocks at much higher prices and recommended doubling-up half-way down. What can I say' I did recommend the stocks again and again and I still do. I have strongly recommended Continental (CAL) since it was trading around $6 per share in 2002. CAL just reported an amazing quarter (Call Transcript). With oil prices at ridiculously unsustainable levels, the company added about $500 million dollars to its net cash position! How much will it add when oil prices are down'One of the reasons I write about the airlines so much is because the boom in international travel (still is in its infancy) is part and parcel to this new wonderful economic age that we have entered. A new age that is being totally mis-characterized by left leaning media. Complete Story »24 Jul 2008 at 4:15am  Tim Plaehn submits: Over the last few months I have been writing articles on the improving housing market in the Sacramento region, with a little Las Vegas thrown in. I write on these areas because I am familiar with the markets and these were some of the leaders of the recent boom and bust. Over the last 3 months these markets have shown growth in numbers of home sales in both year-over-year and month-to-month, though at significantly lower median prices than a year ago. Yesterday’s data show the other side of the equation, foreclosures have not turned the corner yet. In the 2nd quarter of 2008, foreclosures for the 8 county Sacramento region totaled 6,075 compared to 5,278 in the first quarter. The total foreclosures of 11,353 is in comparison to 17,117 homes sold year-to-date in the region. Over half of the resales have been foreclosure properties.

Bankrate.com's 30-year average US fixed mortgage rate was at 6.5% Tuesday, which is the highest it has been since April 2002. New highs for rates can't be tempting potential home buyers to pull the trigger. click to enlarge Complete Story »23 Jul 2008 at 12:12pm Scott Almeida had a problem. Fresh out of jail and in need of some money, Scott needed to find a job quick. Florida’s housing market was red hot in 2002, so he thought he’d shoot for a mortgage license. Scott liked shooting things—when the cops busted up his cocaine trafficking business, they’d also found a large stash of assault rifles and ammunition. Complete Story »22 Jul 2008 at 2:24pm

If you're trying to talk an insane person off a ledge, you're going to do everything you can to calm them down and get them to come inside. You're not going to remind them that, well, their life does kind of suck and they have to take more responsibility for the mess they find themselves in. That would not be a good idea.
