Home Refinance Loan To Stop Foreclosure

Stop Foreclosure Refinance

Most delinquent homeowners have, at one time or another, decided they needed a home refinance loan to stop foreclosure. But, is that the right answer? Typically it is not, and here is why. A refinance loan is often doomed from the beginning. To refinance once you are in foreclosure lenders typically require at least 40% equity in the home and very few homeowners, especially in today's real estate market, have that much equity.

The next hurdle, assuming you have enough equity, is that since you have been delinquent on your mortgage payment the new lender is most likely going to charge you a higher interest rate. If this is the case, your payments will now be higher than they were with your original lender, and if you had trouble with the original payment you will have even more difficulty with the new one.

Let's say you are in a situation where you have equity and your new interest payment will be lower due to your
old ARM. In this scenario you will still be charged brokers fees, loan origination fees etc., but if in the end your payment will be low enough to help you keep out of foreclosure in the future it might be worth looking into.

One key factor when looking at a stop foreclosure loan is the need to keep your current loan
payment paid on time. Many homeowners have been mistakenly told not pay their loan payments while the new loan is 'being processed'. The apparent reason for this is that it supposedly makes 'accounting easier', however, if the loan does not get approved you are in a very difficult situation with your current lender.
