Can we just stop making payments?
July 12th, 2009
My situation is this. We owe more than our home is worth and we are having a difficult time making payments. We want to refinance but need to know how being upside down would affect our decision.
Is it wise to stop making payments and let the bank restructure our loan?
Do we have to go that route to get help?
We have never been late before and we both have good credit, but we are having a very difficult time making our mortgage payments - probably like a lot of people today.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for your help and advice.

June 28th, 2009
How to purchase another home when you owe more on your present home than it would sell for?
Here is my situation. I purchased a home for $229k now the market value of this home is only 170k. It is a very nice home. Are there programs available for people in this situation? I was hoping that the government would have done something about this. I have good credit. Thanks for all the advice and help.

Upside down on mortgage, any suggestions?
June 3rd, 2009
I am upside down on my mortgage big time. I have both a 1st and 2nd mortgage. I do not know what to do - I am so lost and scared. Because I Have A good credit rating, my mortgage company, Countrywide, won't help me at all. They will not even consider helping me with a payment plan or anything like that unless I'm behind on payments which means, it will ruin my credit, and We Want Out? Anybody know what to do please help!
