houston foreclosure listings

A lot of times mortgage horror stories are 100 percent the fault of the lending institutions as in this case….

At the ripe old age of 40, my husband and I bought our first home one year ago. Having heard so many horror stories prior to our purchase, we were very surprised at the ease in which every thing went during our application and closure. We had to take out a second mortgage with our financial institution, however, to pay for incidentals at closing. We ended up with two loans, one (the smaller of the two) was automatic withdrawal and the other was a mail-in payment.

After six months, I was horror-stricken when I received a certified letter stating my home and land would be put up for auction in the near future for my failure to pay three months of house payments! After pulling myself off of the floor, I managed to calm myself down long enough to call our esteemed bank. A nice young lady laughed and said, yes, our payment had not been received for three months, but the problem was with the bank. They had inadvertently applied our major mortgage payments to the second mortgage AFTER SIX MONTHS OF PAYING IT CORRECTLY! I was livid! The best part? The young lady indicated that it happens all the time and it was just a little glitch … and it was usually funny (how it turned out) Funny!?! I practically had to call 911 when I got that notice! This happened five months ago and my credit is screwed up. The bank s (explanation) is It s just a little glitch.

homes in foreclosure

The foreclosure crisis that we are currently witnessing is one of the greatest economic tragedies that we have seen in America in modern times. Millions of people are getting kicked out of their homes, and the U.S. government and mortgage lenders are providing little to no real help. It is a real shame to see so many American families get dumped out on to the street because of the greed of a few. And unfortunately, foreclosures in the United States continue to set new records. The number of foreclosures set another all-time record for the second consecutive month in May. In addition, the number of newly initiated foreclosures rose 18.6 percent to 370,856 during the first quarter of 2010. What that means is that the foreclosure crisis is getting even worse. Tens of millions of Americans desperately need foreclosure help, but pretty much nobody seems interested in helping them. Foreclosure horror stories are multiplying as large numbers of American families are struggling to pay mortgages that they didn t understand and couldn t afford in the first place. Unless someone steps forward to help the tens of millions of Americans that are in danger of foreclosure, the tragedy is going to end up being unspeakable.

3. Do a Little Research

Sometimes you cannot simply depend on the fact that foreclosed properties are sold at cheap prices. Do a little research to know if you can really make a good buy.

There are properties that sound inexpensively priced but they will not sell high as well despite the repairs because of their location or neighborhood.

Just take the extra mile to research. You can even seek help from an assessor to make sure that you have a good deal.
