Most loan modifications require supporting documentation that is submitted with a detailed application. Minor errors can significantly delay the process.

We have worked on thousands of loan modifications. During a free consultation with a loan modification professional in our office, we will explain the process, giving you an idea of what your chances are for qualifying. No one can guarantee you a loan modification but we will give you an honest assessment and review strategies about how to improve your chances with the bank and federal programs such as the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).

Under HAMP guidelines the bank will take 31% of your gross income and try to fit your principal interest, insurance and taxes into that 31%. Other factors also apply. If you do not quality for HAMP or your lender does not participate, you may still be eligible for a loan modification from your bank.

Many attorneys are unfamiliar with this process and there are numerous companies that prey on people's desperation, charging thousands of dollars and many times doing absolutely nothing. An experienced loan modification attorney can help you take the path that's right for you.

Bankruptcy protection is also an option and can temporarily stop the foreclosure process so that you can explore other options. There's no shame in bankruptcy. American corporations seek the court's protection every day. You should feel comfortable doing the same.

The government extended the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) to cover investment property with HAMP Tier II. An investor can get as a many as five homes modified under this program, and most banks also now offer loan modification programs to invest properties.

As with a residential property, meticulous attention to documentation and the application process must be paid in order to obtain a loan modification. An experienced loan modification attorney can guide you through the process.
