The entire United States is feeling the effects of one of the worst housing crises in history. This dilemma centers on the under-market mortgages that were issued for several years before the natural ebbs and flows of real estate value became a problem for millions of people whose loans were suddenly drastically higher than the value of the property securing them. Coupled with that scenario was the fact that millions of adjustable rate mortgages began to create serious rises in monthly payments for homeowners who could simply no longer afford to make their increased payments.
While this is hardly an all-inclusive description of what went wrong with the housing market, it does provide context for many people, particularly in and around San Diego, who find themselves behind on their mortgage payments and facing possible foreclosure. For these San Diegans, not only would a foreclosure amount to a devastating blow to their credit, many could wind up losing their homes with nowhere to turn.
If you're in San Diego County and this describes your situation to any degree, you’re far from alone in the local area. However, there’s no time to waste in getting your mortgage moving towards a solution. While some may recommend that you contact a mortgage broker to secure another loan, that is simply not a realistic option for many upside-down homeowners given the current credit squeeze gripping the banking industry.
The real estate industry is in complete disarray and much of the fault lies with the brokers and lenders whose sole motivation was to make a quick buck at the borrower’s expense.
Homeowners seeking help in getting their home loans modified should be wary of mortgage brokers advertising their services. Remember, it was many of those same brokers who offered up and signed off on the loans that are now drowning homeowners in debt. With the real estate market hemorrhaging, many brokers have opted to simply change the title of their office door from “mortgage company” to “loan modification company”.
