Yes, well, it remains to be seen how much will really be done. And how helpful the mortgage lenders will actually be. Of course, the point is to try to keep people in their mortgages, if possible, so I’m not sure that they will get the best possible deals; it’s more likely that things will be arranged so that it’s just enough that people can keep paying, but not enough to help them really get their feet under them.
Hi Miranda,
That’s great news indeed! It’s good to know that the government as well as the industry professionals are joining hands to help borrowers get out of their mortgage mess. However, it is yet to be seen as to what percentage of the borrowers really can utilize these programs to avoid foreclosure.
While one may avail programs like the rate freeze and the project lifeline, there are 17 ways and more that can otherwise help one avoid the foreclosure trap.
