Loan modification article in Wall Street Journal
LOAN MODIFICATION Process is slow - The Wall Street Journal article June 17, 2009
I think all of us can say we know at least one person who is trying to accomplish a loan modification with their lender. About 4 million people were late in paying their mortgage payments in the first quarter of 2009. As of the end of April only 518,155 home loans have been modified.
The process is slowed by the amount of paperwork involved and low numbers in staffing. It is not an easy process, but if it can help keep homeowners from loosing their homes it is well worth it in the end. Here is the link to the article in the Wall Street Journal that shares some stories of homeowners in the process or have had a loan modified.

Welcome to Anthem! Meridian Restaurant
serving delicious Italian Cuisine. Entertainment coming soon.
Loan modifications are starting to happen in Anthem. Let's all work together in sharing our success stories with our friends, family, and neighbors. We will start to see the lender owned properties go away quickly if we can keep homeowners in their homes. The government has to act quicker in getting their instructions to the lending institutes and sharing the guidelines approved to help stop the foreclosures. I am feeling hopeful we will see a change in the next few months. Let's help our neighbors stay home in Anthem!
