Loss Mitigation Negotiation

When real estate investors envision what it means to invest in foreclosures, they usually fall into one of two camps. One camp contains investors who primarily focus on the REO process, and they typically purchase REO properties or HUD homes to build their portfolios or generate profits. The REO camp usually requires access to a little more capital to be consistently active so this may offer limitations to many investors, particularly those new to real estate.

The other camp, and the one that I have built my own real estate business around, focuses on preforeclosure properties and short sales. There is also fantastic money to be made here (if there wasn’t, I wouldn’t personally be doing it) and it offers more opportunities for the novice investor. It is primarily for this camp that I have created my landmark Preforeclosure Cash Flow System.

Working the preforeclosure side of the foreclosure business is a natural draw for many investors interested in foreclosures because there is an abundant source of motivated sellers. That is only the tip of the iceberg, though. No matter how motivated a seller may be, real estate investors need to be well trained to be at their best. At the core of this need for training lies loss mitigation training.

What is loss mitigation? It is a general term that refers to working with a lender, whether you are helping a seller negotiate a payment arrangement or if you are working short sales. Lenders have their procedures they follow when processing foreclosures and so too should you have a process for working with loss mitigation.

Today’s preforeclosure business is more than just looking for free foreclosure listings on the Internet or taking the plunge and investing in foreclosure listings that carry a monthly or annual fee. Anybody can do this and what will set you apart as a foreclosure real estate investor and as a preforeclosure specialist is the type of loss mitigation training you have.

I’ve been in this business of foreclosures for a long time now and I’ve seen a lot of experts come and go whose best approach was simply to tell you about all the money there was to be had in preforeclosure and short sales. Where these others fell short was their inability to effectively train their clients in loss mitigation.

My business approach is a little different. Sure, I’m going to be honest with you and tell you that there is indeed a lot of money to be made in short sales and most any aspect of the preforeclosure business. I also back that up by providing the type of loss mitigation training that I have proven successful with my own business.

Friends, loss mitigation and short sales are incredible opportunities but it can also be a jungle out there if you lack the loss mitigation training you need to be at the top of your game. You owe it to yourself to check out my Preforeclosure Cash Flow System and the detailed, cutting edge approach to loss mitigation that is contained within it. I wish you the greatest success in real estate investing.

Loan Modification During Bankruptcy

Homeowners hoping to get a loan modification with Countrywide may want to rethink their options. Countrywide Financial, best known for excessive lending practices that led to widespread defaults, now has so many bad debts on its books that it may have to tighten up its loan modification service.

Home Loan Modification allows defaulting borrowers to work out new terms with Countrywide, so that they can avoid foreclosure and stay on track. Countrywide began offering the service through their Home Retention Department at the height of last year’s real estate bubble. However, due to the volume of requests coming in, many cases were delayed and resulted in foreclosure. The company hit an all-time low in 2008 and was recently bought out by the Bank of America.

In line with the change, the Loan Modification Department of the Law Offices of Marc R. Tow is also taking measures to protect its clients. The firm, one of the leading loan modification services in the country, will only negotiate modifications with Countrywide for clients with viable cases and those who are in serious financial trouble.

Changes are also expected in national Loan Modification policies. While loan modification is still open to borrowers not in default, new laws may soon limit the service only to those in bankruptcy or serious delinquency. This will allow lenders and loan modification companies to focus their attention to clients who are most in need.

The firm will continue to help clients with loans serviced by other companies. Besides loan modification, the Law Offices of Marc R. Tow also offers assistance with loss mitigation alternatives such as short sales.

Loss Mitigation Companies

Question: Does anyone know is Loss Mitigation Solutions in Phoenix AZ a real modification company?

I have a home in Indiana in foreclosure. I received a call from this company Loss Mitigation Solutions in Phoenix. They seem very professional and work for an attorney I believe but the proposal they put together seems too good to be true. You know the ole saying and there are so many dishonest people out there especially doing this loan mod thing. Please please can I get some feedback??!!

Answer: check with bbb in that state
check with the attorney general in that state
type in yahoo, the name of the company and the word lawsuit(s)

generally, these companies are not beneficial. You can negotiate on your own. doing things dishonest, like not making a payment for 4 or 6 months to get a deal, it just not right. Your call though, you sleep with you every night.
