Negotiate my Mortgage
Written by Administrator   
Tuesday, 30 September 2008

Our best tool to negotiate with mortgage companies is the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). State and Federal law require mortgage companies to follow these guidelines when originating home loans. Many mortgage loans have these TILA and/or RESPA violations which can and will be used as leverage when negotiating a favorable settlement for our clients. The law must be followed and failure to do so can result in significant damages your lender. So, naturally, they will be very amicable to working your loan out to more affordable terms to avoid costly litigation.

WASHINGTON, Sept 18, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Older holders of subprime first mortgages are 17 times more likely to be in home foreclosure than are older holders of prime loans.

A first-of-its-kind study by AARP debunks the myth that older homeowners are not vulnerable to the home mortgage crisis.
New research by the AARP Public Policy Institute (PPI) to be released tomorrow shows that for the six month period ending in December, 2007, 684,000 older Americans (aged 50 and over) were either in foreclosure or were delinquent in mortgage payments. That's more than a quarter of all foreclosures or delinquencies (28.1 percent). Delinquency normally refers to mortgage payments at least 30 days in arrears.
