Ask Kate About Mortgage Loan Modification
Can you clarify a couple of questions on mortgage loan modification? My hair dresser is upside down on her mortgage and considering a short sale. She thinks a loan modification is not possible for two reasons.
1) Her bank, or any bank, will not modify her mortgage because she is "upside down" meaning mortgaged over and above the current appraised value of her property.
2) She must hire a lawyer (the associated cost worries her) to get through all the issues since the bank won't make the process easy.
Can you point me to the specific place on your website that addresses these two issues on mortgage loan modification? I want to share this with my hairdresser.
Also, what is your opinion with respect to the two issues above, truth or myth?
