Virginia foreclosure
This is an actual comment for a client:
”I would like to try to do a short sale on my home if my mortgage co would consider. I have owned this home less than a year and due to unforeseeable circumstances must relocate and can’t keep up the payments on this mortgage. Can you help? ”
A short sale will work if you find yourself in a situation where you owe more than what the home is worth. To get a short sale approved the house must be listed with the realtor for list three months and you must have a buyer. You can accept the contract contingent upon the mortgage company approving the short sale. If they approve the short sale you can walk away from the house owing nothing.

I was in the process of doing an interest only refinance on my home because I can't afford my mortage Countrywide bought my loan 2 months ago and their policy is not to report until they have the loan for 90 days. So my credit rating dropped below 600 and now I can't get a new loan. We talked to Countrywide and they said they would report it right away but 2 weeks later it hasn't been reported. Is there anything I can do?
I am sorry but there is not much you can do but keep calling them. They need to report accurate information but the problem is getting them to do it in a timely fashion. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
