It seems impossible to many homeowners that they could prevent their homes from being taken once they are in foreclosure. Undoubtedly, it would be of great help to these people to know that loan modification programs exist and can actually help to prevent foreclosures.
Although loan modifications have become very common, it is important to remember that no all mortgage modifications are given by the bank. In deciding whether to approve an application, the bank will normally study the main element in the approval process: the debt-to-income ratio.
If you are losing your home to foreclosure, realize that thousands of others are in the same situation. As things look now, thousands more will lose their homes before the economy gets better.
