Losing your home- You have options. Protect Yourself

HELP YOURSELF OR SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW!

Before You Give Up Your Home, Know the Facts because.... You Have Options! You Can Save Your Home or At Least Protect Yourself.

What happens when you imagine receiving a 1099 form from the IRS after a foreclosure or short sale showing the taxes you owe. Despite the new law, in some cases, you will still receive an IRS Form 1099 and incur substantial tax liability!!!

Will you still have substantial dept even without your home? If so, neither the foreclosure nor short sale really helps you!

Could you keep your home if you did not have to pay the second mortgage or HELOC? If the value of your home is lower than what is owned on the first mortgage, we can strip the second mortgage (or HELOC), and you will not have to pay it.

Does a foreclosure or short sale affect your credit as much as a bankruptcy? In more cases, it is worse than a bankruptcy and takes longer to recover.

Talking to a good bankruptcy attorney does not mean you have to file bankruptcy. While it may be the best solution, it is not the only one.

I know how you feel, and others have felt the same, and then they found that speaking with a trained professional to understand exactly what their liability was and what they should do about was their best option.

Protect yourself!
