Loan Modification

LAS VEGAS LOAN MODIFICATION LAWYERS CAN HELP

In Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada, homeowners seeking a principal reduction, elimination of a second mortgage, or other loan workout, come to a Las Vegas loan modification attorney at PandA Law Firm for a creative and effective approach to their loan modification.

WHAT IS A LOAN MODIFICATION?

A loan modification is a process of negotiation with the lender that results in a change to the terms of your original loan. Our primary goal through a loan modification is to lower your principal balance, but there are many other ways to modify a loan as well. For instance, it is possible to lower the interest rate or re-amortize the loan, either of which can result in lower monthly payments. Also, if you have missed payments and are in arrears, it is possible to have those missed payments forgiven by the lender, moved to the end of the loan, or rolled back into the loan and re-amortized.

Much like a refinance, loan modifications make changes to your original loan in order to LOWER YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT. However, unlike a refinance, the changes are usually based on your income, not your credit score or home’s value. More importantly, a loan modification can actually lower the amount you owe the bank! That’s something a refinance can’t ever do. PandA Law Firm can help you:

Lower the amount you owe the bank! (Principal Reduction)
Reduce your interest rate to as-low-as 2%!
Extend the term of your mortgage.
Convert your interest-only loan to a conventional mortgage.
Eliminate your 2nd Mortgage entirely!
Change your adjustable rate to a low fixed rate.

Most loan modifications include one or more of the above changes, with the end result being a lower mortgage payment!

WHY WOULD A LENDER AGREE TO A LOAN MODIFICATION?

If your loan payment is too high for you to afford, sooner or later you will default on the loan. When that happens, the bank’s only option is to foreclose on your home and sell it, applying the proceeds against your loan balance. Every month that goes by while the bank is stuck with a property that it cannot sell represents lost revenue. On the other hand, if the bank agrees to a modification, it continues to generate a stream of revenue and will be better off in the long run.

Bankers know these facts and are willing to agree to a modification when they believe it is in their best interest. Part of our job as loan modification lawyers in Las Vegas is getting the lender to agree that your loan is a good candidate for a modification, and then negotiating the most favorable workout possible.

LEGAL HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO NEED HOME LOAN MODIFICATION IN LAS VEGAS

The federal government has created a host of programs and incentives for banks to accept a variety of loan modifications, including principal reductions, modifications of second liens, lower payments and lower interest rates, refinances, and more. A common misconception is that banks participating in these programs are required to agree to a modification. While that is not the case, covered lenders do have an obligation to participate in the process with eligible homeowners, and we use our legal skills and resources to make sure their participation is meaningful and substantial. If your mortgage payments or other expenses have risen beyond your means, or if a job loss, illness or injury has hampered your ability to meet you monthly payments, a loan modification may be the solution to retain your home or commercial/investment property without fear of foreclosure.

More Loan Modification FAQs

Will I get a principal reduction?

That is one of our goals. If we can eliminate a second mortgage, that is a principal reduction. We have many tools at our disposal to settle second mortgages, and that is generally where we focus our principal reduction efforts. We may also achieve a principal reduction on your first mortgage. Although we have negotiated substantial principal reductions on many first loans, we cannot guarantee specific results.

What is lien stripping?

A home mortgage acts as a lien, or encumbrance, on the home, meaning that the loan is secured by the property. However, when the amount owed on the primary mortgage exceeds the value of the home, the holder of the first mortgage is undersecured, and the holders of any second or third mortgages are basically unsecured. It is possible, in that case, to strip away any unsecured junior liens through a bankruptcy or negotiated settlement.

What is a cram down?

When the amount owed on the mortgage exceeds the value of the home, it is possible to “cram down” the outstanding balance to the level of the home’s current market value through a bankruptcy. Cram down is another way of describing a principal reduction.

What is bifurcation?

Where the mortgage is undersecured because the amount owed is greater than the value of the home securing it, it may be possible to bifurcate the loan. Bifurcation basically splits the loan into two loans, with a secured loan up to the value of the home and an unsecured loan covering the remaining balance. An unsecured debt may be discharged by a bankruptcy, subject to a debt settlement, or otherwise removed through the loan modification process.
