WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO AVOID ABOUT 50 OF THE HEART ACHE THAT ACCOMPANIES A FORECLOSURE? If you were aware of the options available to you BEFORE you fell into foreclosure, would you take a different route and nip that foreclosure in the bud, before it gets out of control? What 95 of homeowners DO NOT know can definitely hurt them. It’s all about information. Sure, you can look up anything you want to online, the power of the internet is limitless. But the information is everywhere and finding the CORRECT information can be very frustrating. So when you can find useful information in a clear, realistic, easy to read format; it’s worth it’s weight in gold. To sum it up, you need a clear plan of attack with no BS.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET CONFUSED, respond to a few of those letters your getting from those foreclosure rescue companies and listen to the sales pitch. It’s a combination of hard sell and tough love, just give them $2,500 and the rest is as good as done. (If you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you)

THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF CONFUSION COMES FROM The very same foreclosure rescue companies sending you those letters. They want you to think that your foreclosure is such a complicated situation, and that it’s so complex and confusing that you would be an idiot not to use their services. When you buy into that logic, your just one small step away from paying a premium fee for that perceived service. Fees for most foreclosure rescue companies range anywhere from $1,500 all the way up to $3,500. I was just alerted to a new technique; telling the homeowner that they will wrap in Credit Counseling with the foreclosure work, all for just $3,500. (If you think the foreclosure business is slimy, check out the Credit Counseling business. You may need a shower after getting off of the phone with some of those people…trust me, I know)
HERE IS THE TRUTH FOLKS, it does NOT have to be this complicated. Based on my experience, I would estimate that 90 of the foreclosure cases out there right now can be taken care of by the HOMEOWNERS themselves – but they don’t know where to turn for legitimate help. They start to panic and end up dealing with a rescue company asking them for incredible amounts of money to perform a service they could perform on their own for less than $50.
REMEMBER, the job of the person at the rescue company is NOT to get you out of foreclosure; it’s to get you to PAY THEM to get you out of foreclosure. These folks are 100 commissioned salespeople who don’t make a dime if you don’t pay them. And there’s big money in it too, so the stakes are high. They’re job is to convince you that you could not possibly handle your foreclosure by yourself. In my humble opinion, nothing could be further from the truth.
IF YOU DIG DEEP ENOUGH it won’t take you long to realize that you can probably KILL OR STALL your foreclosure by yourself without spending thousands of dollars and trusting in a total stranger to help you. There are just too many predators out there that make a living off of desperate people in foreclosure. Believe it or not, there are genuine people out there actually want to help you and not make a killing off of you at the same time
IF YOU GO ONLINE AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE E BOOKS AVAILABLE ABOUT stopping your foreclosure, you may be surprised at the useful information they supply. Go to Google and search for DIY foreclosure – or DIY Loss Mitigation and you will probably find some very useful information. Chances are, you will come up with several methods and tips that you could implement immediately – for free.
