May lose my home next month...need your advice!

0 votes

I won't bore you with details, but through a series of unfortunate events over a long period, my wife and I have exhausted our savings in trying to be positive and hang on for something 'good' to finally come our way. At the moment, I can't buy a job! I'm college educated; I have a CDL; I have all sorts of state licenses in real estate, insurance, etc....and have lost pretty much everything and can't seem to catch a break on even the smallest bit of promise. Ultimately, I blame no one but myself for my perdicament and please, don't anyone suggest taking up a collection on our behalf, as I was raised to never take charity. I would never ask that of anyone.

Here's how I'm hoping you good DPers can help out: I know that there are all sorts of programs out there designed to help folks who are in a bind....I just don't know how/where to start! Under the Obama-nation, there's just GOT to be mortgage help!! We didn't pay too much for our house during the bubble....it's simply a matter of no work, no income. I haven't made enough money during 2008 to even get unemployment. Like I said above, we've been holding on for something positive to happen...and our situation will bust loose! "The glass is half-full!".

Where do I turn first? Thanks in advance...

I sued my lender after i fell behind and now im still in my home, it was foreclosed on in July, I offered them about half the mortgage balance, now im waiting.....
I used that site for information
Its a tough spot because your down on your luck, but you have to buck up and fight.

Watch this short video......

And then get the full length film and the book.....You will be very happy you did....", Because when it was happining to me a few months ago I kept nothing but postives thoughts in my head and postive words out of my mouth.....It works!!!, I don't know how but it does.....Before I knew it, I was blessed with a great paying job and found a place called (PHEA) Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency to help me out .....They took over my mortgage with a attractive 30- year fixed rates.....Because it combines 100% financing with flexible credit underwriting ....I don't have to worry about high interest rate and they work with you as well to get started... (See if your state has one)..Things just started to fall in place for me and my family (Truly amazing) But watch the full length film....

May God bless you....

Thank you all so much...

...for your kind words and wisdom! Sadly, my mortgage is with the seller...we did kill the bank!!...owner financing. Now, it just may come around to bite me on the ass. I will try to negotiate something with her...she is a very nice lady (widow)...but I also understand that we all need cash.
I was hoping that I could re-fi at a bank, pay her off...then have Allah ak Obama bail me out for pennies on the dollar. Hey, a man can dream, can't he?
I am intrigued by the offshore oil jobs...heck, driving a truck would put me away from home for long periods too...and the oil rig gig would have more job security!! Thanks for the heads up!!
Also, thanks for the links...I'll check into them this evening. You all are just the best!!!

in the chicago area

and suburbs there are still a decent amount of jobs-not the cubicle kind. The union pacific railroad is doing massive hiring and they're hiring people with all different occupational backgrounds. A lot of their guys are retiring so they def. need people. Also with a CDL you get a job someplace like UPS Just something to think about.

Since you are willing to be

Since you are willing to be away from home, the railroads are also hiring.

Yes, they'll be really busy

You are TOO funny.

I almost choked on a corn chip. Yes, can I have a cushion for my seat? Black humor. Wait, let me edit that to be politically correct. We will have to be ever so careful now in our choice of words. Dry humor.

A lot of people are

A lot of people are skeptical of this, but it DOES work, as long as you aren't wanting to sell your home anytime soon.
You can apply for a "Land Patent"
With a land patent, you have True ownership. You can chosse to NOT pay your mortgage, you can choose NOT to pay property tax, and they CAN NEVER take your house.

ALSO, you can put everything you own into a trust. In America you dont want to "own' anything, you want to manage it. Your car, your tools, your boat, any properties, etc.

DONT TRUST ME, research land patent.

If you need more info, I know a guy out of Michigan who will set up secure trusts for home, land, cars, business, etc, for about 500 bucks.

Pray to your Messiah Obama Bin Biden

And maybe if you're ethnic enough he will give it to you.

Lol Classic. Truly a classic.

Go to your banker and discuss the situation with them.

Believe me, they don't won't to foreclose, foreclosures cost them money and they lose money.

In today's situation they are more willing than ever to work with you. There are a number of banks who are pushing due dates back and extending grace periods. Plus if you get to be on a first name basis with your banker and they know you are trying, they are human beings to and will extend as much help and sympathy as possible.

Remember you are only one of many so don't personalize the situation. Plus the crisis as a whole is primarily due to the Federal Reserve.

In the 1980's the Federal Reserve raised interested rates to 20%. I lost 3 houses and it took me 25 years to figure out it was not my fault, but was due to the failings and corruption of the Federal Reserve.

Now, feel any better?

I know I say this a lot on

I know I say this a lot on this forum but if You live anywhere near the south east get Your butt offshore. They will hire about anyone with a decent work eithic and most of the companies work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. If You get a schedule You can almost live anywhere just as long as You can drive to your departure point. I would imagine a lowly roustabout probably makes about 40k to 50k a year. The reason these jobs usually hire is because people do not want to work away from their homes or family. You might consider that for a moment and get in before the work force will do anything for money. Another thing the merchant marine is another industry that pays decent but lacks qualified workers. So I would advise getting on the internet and doing some research into the offshore and shipping industry because it just might save your house.

come to Canada

lots of good paying jobs in Calgary Canada(oil boom town)
do some research online.

Silent boom is right. MOST

Silent boom is right. MOST lenders will let you pay interest only easily, and some let you skip a payment or two. So PLEASE do not get downhearted because "misery loves the company" and will hang around you more and more. Make your mind up completely to the following scenario. There is NO reason you do not have a job. You are educated, you have a great work ethic, you are more than likely the best person they could hire, so you ARE definitely getting a job. Just KNOW it. Do not try to be positive,. Just go over all of the reasons that you should be successful and know that you will be, end of story. It works.

If the servicing of your

If the servicing of your mortgage had been sold to a new servicer, make the foreclosing party produce the note. If the loan has been sold, the original note is more than likely in a warehouse. If the foreclosing party can't produce the note, they have no claim.

My husband is a civil engineer inspector for a fairly large city. It seems puzzling to me with our current economic crisis, but he says there are so many jobs lined up next year that he doesn't know how they will all get done. So maybe your city has jobs available.

Where do you live?

I saw a video

on here that a man went to the real estate companies and started a company cleaning out foreclosed homes because people leave so much stuff behind. He was doing very well. So sorry, to hear of your predicament
we will all be facing it very soon. I also saw a thing on tv people are buying hotdog carts and making good money if they get a good corner. Some make $10,000 a month. I was in shock. There was a woman that had one said she didn't make that much money but was planning on buying another one. I know it doesn't sound so great but we are up against something really evil.

And get certified to run a crane. Don't ask me why the Operating Engineers started allowing teamsters to run cranes, but none the less, our teamsters in California make good money and have better retirement than any of the unions. Just a thought.

I've heard

I've heard that mortgage companies are VERY flexible when you tell them that you may not be able to pay. I would first suggest calling them, they may be able to lower the payments or work something out with you.
