Certified Distressed Property Expert, Rick Bauer, Real Estate Broker at Father Time® Auctions & Real Estate in St. Louis, MO. insists that foreclosure is not the answer to the current home ownership crisis looming throughout the St. Louis region.
Financially troubled homeowners have options if they are proactive and do not give up hope. Hardships don't care about zip codes and can affect anyone. The ARM's are adjusting, unemployment remains high and good replacement job creation is thin putting good people upside down in troubled waters.
Some of the choices for a dignified solution include current lender loan modification, loan refinancing (short or long-term) or a short sale (a lender-approved sale at less than the outstanding loan balance). Learn about The Seven Most Dangerous Short Sale Myths
Home owners who are facing bank foreclosure often dread dealing with the facts that got them to that place. But there is hope if you have a plan of action.
