Millions of Homeowners Are Falling Behind on Their Mortgage Payments. Here Are Your Options if You're One of Them
https://money.com/coronavirus-mortgage-default-forbearance-foreclosure/?xid=googlenews

What is underwater mortgage?

An underwater mortgage is a home purchase loan with a higher principal than the free-market value of the home. This situation can occur when property values are falling. In an underwater mortgage, the homeowner may not have any equity available for credit.

What happens if you sell a house in negative equity?

Selling your home when it's in negative equity will break your mortgage terms, will be expensive and should only be an option if you're in severe financial trouble. You will need your mortgage lender's permission to sell the property if you know you won't get enough from the sale to pay back what you owe.

Turns out strategic mortgage defaults weren't really strategic:

Some Reviews of Satisfied Clients

Since my divorce was final in 2016 and the divorce decree awarded me the home I've been struggling to make payments on a house I could not afford. Homeowners Relief Options has lifted a burden from me. My 3 children and I now live comfortably in a modest rental we can afford with less financial stress about paying a huge mortgage not to mention the maintenance and electric bill to heat and cool this house! Thanks Homeowners Relief Options for coming through!

  I had no idea this type of service or business existed! What a blessing! My mortgage company told me I couldn't qualify for a refinance. The so called modification of my mortgage was not enough, only $75 reduction? This company took a load of stress off of me as I could not afford to pay the monthly mortgage any longer because I lost my job and could not sell my house because of the difference between what I owed on the mortgage and what the house was worth my realtor told me I would have to come to the table at any possible sale with as much as $10,000 or more of which i did not have. Homeowners Relief Options stated that they would pay my existing mortgage until my property could be sold by them. I simply had to pay my mortgage 1 month in advance and move prior to the date. So far it's been almost 4 years in September. Great service and great relief! I Recommend them if all other options are not feasible or don't make financial sense. This is a financial decision for me as my income has significantly dropped. Again these guys are great!

I have tried to work with the bank in my small town that I have banked with for 42 yrs. I am upside down on my mortgage. My husband lost his job and had to move 450 miles away. We have tried to sell the house and the banker(my friend for 52 yrs) won't even consider a short sale. I have no choice but to walk away. Homeowners Relief Options. Yup Thank You.

For those who judge the borrower about walking away, take this into consideration. When my husband and I bought our starter home we were recently married and w/o children. We both had nice paying jobs and could afford our mortgage. We signed an agreement in good faith. 5 years ago we had our second child, Annie, who has cerebral palsy. She is 100% dependent on home care. I quit my job and am a stay at home mother. My husband works 2 jobs to support the 4 of us. He is never home and we are living meagerly. We have also tried over and over again to work something out with the bank but along with getting the run around we are scared to death of losing our home with 2 children. Our home is now worth only $350,000.00 and the value is dropping! Our Mortgage is $475,000.00. We can no longer afford it. We want to downgrade but we can't sell! What are we supposed to do? What other options do we have. We are not bad people just in a bad situation. Thank god for Homeowners Relief Options! They took over and we moved on.

Ok you judge mental people.....I am trying to be responsible. I have had some awful things happen in the last 2 years from health issues to both my husband (he passed due to covid) and I losing jobs due to our employer shutting the doors (covid). Yes my mortgage is good 3.9% but i'm now upside down. Due to credit issues if I refinance it will be at nearly 6%! I am paying $2100 a month for an average home which is way too much of a payment. I have asked repeatedly for a loan modification or anything to help us. The investors wont budge. So what was I supposed to do? Homeowners Relief Options has helped us move on comfortably.

Not sure if many know what has been happening in the mortgage/real estate industry and I'm not sure how common my story is. I looked at a home that was listed for $380,000. I called because the price wasn't listed and the ad stated they would swap homes. I informed the agent that my income would fall short about $8000 a year to qualify for the mortgage. Real estate agent said they would not let $8000 stop us from getting the mortgage. I stated I needed to sell my home. He said no problem, they would get a buyer to purchase my existing home. I stated I had about $20,000 in debt that would make the mortgage unaffordable. The buyer offered to pay $25,000 more for my existing home to help with the debt. My ex was unemployed at the time, so I thought with the extra $25,000 and my ex would get a job, I thought we could swing the $1900 monthly mortgage. Unfortunately my ex did not find a job, we split up, not due to finances. I was unable to sell or rent the home to cover the mortgage, so I was about to walk away and let the home and mortgage go. That's when I searched online and found Homeowners Relief Options! I could not believe that they would actually take over my mortgage payments and I could move on. But they did. I am now sharing this story with everyone. My credit has been in the high 700's all my life and in just a short time it had been ruined. Homeowners Relief Options helped me to move on.

Let me ask all you morally sound folks a question. Why would any business continue to invest money in a failed concept? Throw good money after bad they say? The mortgage is the same. I couldn't refinance nor sell because prices dropped so fast when all these houses hit the market recently. Business personal but a business. No way out amicably except for to make the banks wallet thicker is the absolute worse idea or reason to keep paying on something that's no longer worth what it was. If the banks wanted to sincerely help us folks all would be well. Thank you Homeowners Relief Options for your program!

I think the majority real estate professionals are in it for themselves. Heartless, trying to coerce people into buying an overpriced house. FOMO. Fear of missing out. Many drank the koolaide. How many times do you pay for an inspector who tells you your house is fine and then when you sign your name on the dotted line, they give you the keys, and two months later you have just found out you have bought an over priced lemon? During the last go round I have seen landlords burn down their own homes, just so they don't have to pay taxes. Leaving big cities looking like the apocalypse . No one goes after them. The homes remain and there is no penalties. So if I want to bail I'm the bad person? Families who have been duped should have an easier way out of these over priced homes. Thank god for the program from Homeowners Relief Option. They took over and I moved On!

I was researching options for my family and happened upon this website (Homeowners Relief Options). I in no way can see where not being able to pay your mortgage should be a moral decision. It's financial now.. Choosing to pay it for the month and then shorting my kids on groceries in the house is morally questionable in my opinion. Yes! These are problems and choices people in America are having to deal with today. Inflation, gas prices, recession and the coming depression.

We bought a home in May 2022 and I had so so credit at the time, my husband did not. They put my name first on the loan. His income was two times more than mine. Payment was suppose to stay much lower too. Thanks to them pushing an ARM on us. We have acquired not one new debt since buying our home. My husband still makes good money today but we were surprised with another child and my paycheck vs day care proved to be a waste of my time so I stay home with the baby. Take that and gas prices almost double, grocery prices going incredible high, utility increases, and every other bump in the road life throws at you and we are a sinking ship. We live paycheck to paycheck.

We are one life changing event away from losing our home and don't know what to do to fix it. We have used up all our savings and we can not get ahead in today's economy.

We do not buy expensive things, I do not like to shop, we have one vehicle, which we bought outright two years ago for under $3000, I sold the other one to have Christmas. We can't afford vacations or even a trip to the movies with all three kids. So I really wonder what is the better option here?

We could not predict the future when we bought this home, if we had known we would of walked away then, before purchase. We were living in one before that was very small but it was paid for. Land and all, which was used to help purchase the new house. I've wish I had the old house back now. We're seriously thinking of letting Homeowners Relief Options take over the payments and moving on.

I bought a home 1 year ago for $400,000 it is now worth $330,000 according to zillow. I got a job transfer and don't even live in the home anymore. I try to rent it out but everyone else in the town is trying to rent as well and I can barely get a fraction of my monthly mortgage payment renting it out. I have a place to stay at my new location with my fiancee. It just makes absolutely no sense to keep paying a worthless mortgage even though I can afford it. Now multiple houses on my block are for sale and two have foreclosed because they drank the koolaide and bought overpriced. Do I have to suffer? BS, maybe the banks can take the hit and but I can't. I'm doing this, sounds like a great idea to me Homeowners Relief Options.

Market is tanking and you invest in a home. The value of the home was $425k and now $335k and probably dropping as we speak. Banks and the Realtors entice you into taking the home. They tell you it is a great deal!!!! You can refi and pull money out they said. So you get sucked in and buy your first home. 1 year later the homes in the hood are worth only $275k according to several banks who are trying to sell homes they now own. You have a home now worth $335k and dropping, and have no equity and a mortgage plus HOA fee. Bad investment? yes. were you suckered into buying, well yes. You call and the bank won't talk to you unless you lost your job. No deals. Two things, the first, you pay PMI- insurance - protected against default. Second, agreement between the parties say that should you stop making payments the bank gets the home. Why should I not walk away? Businesses would walk away. Contracts are broken all the time when catastrophes strike. I'll take my chances with Homeowners Relief Options mortgage relief program. Thank you.

What you don't consider is the fact that some people are responsible, hard working citizens who get hit with massive amounts of financial turmoil. (inflation, unemployment, recession, coming depression) I have perfect credit but recently ran into several unfortunate situations. My house is a money pit and I have been sinking about $10,000 into repairs annually and the appraisal is $100,000 less than it was when I bought it. Suck it Up? Irresponsible, Loser? I think not. I work almost 60 hours a week I have four college degrees and I'm broke. I also have been mandated by my township to hook up to the city sewer system and that' $20,000.

For all of those who say that walking away from your mortgage debt is stealing: How do you reconcile the fact that most financial institutions who participated in this economic, world wide mess, acted as swindlers and criminals with the most disregard to otherwise-decent and honorable families? Why do financial institutions deserve to keep their reputation and tax-payer-bailed-out business while American families suffer the consequences of a concerted crime? Shouldn't the shame be put on those who concerted this financial mess? Shouldn't those financial institutions be paying back their debt as well, by at least offering refinancing options to homeowners? They got bailed out and they are sitting on that pot of money making it produce more money at the expense of the citizenry. We should be outraged! And if you want to be morally right, start with the immoral perpetrator of a crime. I think I'll walk away the right way though. Gonna call Homeowners Relief Options about that program.

I'm was considering strategic default. I bought a small condo outside of Atlanta in October. I did everything right. I saved, put money down, and did a 30 year fixed. My how things have changed. I can still afford it with no problem but I feel the need to leave. Foreclosures are rampant through the community. I owe 390K and some are selling for 310K, 315K, and 320K and these condos are larger than mine. Also the association who takes care of the property is broke and the place is falling apart with no help in site. Realtor's bring people to look but they turn away when they see the shape the property is in. What do I do? I never wanted to be in this situation. Thanks Homeowners Relief Options. I'm Sold!

There are many more and too many to list here. There is an option and alternative to walking away and strategic default however...
