Before calling the numbers below, contact your lender.To
take advantage of the new government homeowner bailout programs with very low
interest rates, be sure to ask for a "LOAN MODIFICATION", do not use the
word "refinancing."
Very often mortgage lenders will work with someone who has a temporary
problem paying the bills. On a
case-by-case basis, some lenders will temporarily modify the terms of the loan,
due to hardship, such as a surmountable illness or other trying circumstances. The lender may allow you to make a reduced payment on your
mortgage for a time or to miss a payment and have the payment tacked on to the
end of your loan.
You may also want to talk to a mortgage lender or two on the matter of whether refinancing your home is prudent or even possible. That way, you could reduce payments or take out cash. But make sure to consult your circles of experts, accountants, etc... to understand the tax and investment implications of what you do. Remember, it never hurts to learn your options.
