If you’re feeling trapped by your underwater mortgage and are having trouble making your payments, you may be tempted to start thinking that the modification program you heard about just might be for you. We wish we could tell you differently, but that’s just not the case. Most of the mortgage modifications out there aren’t even a Band-Aid-they just prolong the pain; they don’t heal it.

Pitfalls in Distressed Real Estate Sales Opportunities
by
Joseph Camhi2011
A foreclosure, we know, is the process by which a lender takes legal possession of an asset from a borrower in default. This is simple enough to understand, however the mechanism to achieve a foreclosure judgment against a borrower in default is complex, involving lengthy paperwork, sometimes aggressive and despondent, many absurdly offensive to the borrower, most of the times carried out by insensitive attorneys that do not necessarily care about the state of mind of the party in default, who in most cases in good faith contracted a loan and paid his installments religiously for years, only to face the sad reality that his property is trickling water and worth less than half of what he paid for. -

Rebuilding Your Credit After Foreclosure on an Underwater Mortgage

Kristin and I know what we’re talking about. After the real estate bubble “popped” in 2007, we found ourselves underwater on several mortgages.

Where to Look For Help For Your Underwater Mortgage
Unlike the way they rushed to help the banks in 2009, the government is not in a huge hurry to do that much for you if you’re in an underwater mortgage. Your mortgage holder is more likely to try to guilt you into continuing your payments than to offer anything approaching real help. And loan modifications are a joke-only 2.8% of the people who have applied have actually received them.

LTV – The Key to the Underwater Mortgage
If you’re wondering whether or not you’re in an underwater mortgage, the key is to understand your loan to value, or LTV, ratio. The LTV reflects how much you owe as a percentage of the total value of your house. So, for example, if you originally took out a $130,000 mortgage on a house that was appraised at $150,000, your LTV ratio would be 87%. In other words, you would then owe 87% of what the house was actually worth-a win for you once the mortgage was paid off, provided that the property value didn’t change. Which, of course, never happens, does it?
