As foreclosures begin to sore, the government has recently stepped in and changed the rules in an effort to help homeowners. Not only are they trying to stop and prevent new foreclosures, they are also trying to convince banks to lower interest rates and mortgage payments for many struggling homeowners. This is not a new refinance program, it is a loan modification.

Although loan modifications have been around for a long time, they are becoming increasingly popular as the rules are changing and thus more homeowners are now qualified for payment reductions. As with any government program, qualifying and eligibility are extremely confusing. Although many Banks are participating in loan modification programs, they are purposely not willing to share the rules on how to qualify. They will simply ask a bunch of questions, analyze your financial information and then let you know your eligibility. As a result, many homeowners have been denied for a modification. This can even occur if you are legitimately qualified.

The only practical way to avoid this is to hire a professional loan modification company. A good company has the experience, through repetition, of knowing how to prepare your case and financials in such a way that your loan modification gets approved. Good loan modification companies are familiar with the government guidelines and rules. They have established relationships with most major lenders and as a result can do things that you simply can't.

There is a cost to using a loan modification company and it is well worth it. You can also try to do it yourself; however, I would strongly avoid this approach. If you attempted this on your own, be prepared to wait six months or longer for a decision. If you are not completely prepared and you get denied months later, was it worth the time and result? This is not the place to cut corners and attempt to negotiate something complex directly with your lender. Let the professionals do it for you.

There are no shortages of loan modification companies. However, the few good ones will have an A rating with the BBB. When shopping for one, be sure to do your research and check them out. In addition, also ask for their before and after results so you can get an idea of what to expect from them.

Lastly, don't waste any time. At any moment the government could decide to halt these programs and the opportunity might pass you by. A loan modification is a permanent way to save your home and make your mortgage payments more affordable.
